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.

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.
