Dsound takes 25% of your author rewards. For a non-unique service. For a shoddy UI. 25% for basically nothing. And I'm given to understand that the files they host get phased out after a predetermined amount of time. I know it is the case with DTube at least.
Furthermore, they're mostly just another voting scam would-be-whale. They mostly vote for specific people. Often the people who are related to the project, or friends. Or people they think are likely to get a lot of upvotes, to get some of that curation reward.
They do not actually spread their voting to help the minnows, while they take a whopping 25% for nearly nothing. Why not 10%? Why not 5%?
And all this earning they get, doesn't go back to the community, as is at least the case with truly community-facing projects such as Curie and Utopian-io.
Yes just disappears with them after a certain time and I have been slightly annoyed with them of late but I was not aware of the 25% know a lot of stuff makes sense are usually upload to SoundCloud as well as DSound but after hearing this I might avoid l Dsound all the way.... I understand I'm taking some percentage 25% is greedy as fuck
Steepshot at least makes it easier to post, and only takes 10%.
The only real reason to use dtube I feel is for 10-20 second videos you take on your phone and just upload. If it's something longer and bigger, may as well use one of the existing sites online.
yeah :(
Good to know. How did you find that information?
Reading about. You can look at steemd or steemworld to see "beneficiaries" listed for dtube/dlive for instance.
I wonder if we'll start seeing rival dtube types of services on this platform for a while until one rules them all.
Honestly? These would-be-dtube-esques first need to find a reason for me to use them over Youtube. Right now, all they offer to anyone who's not a racist shit-head over youtube is downsides.
