RE: Piglet update # 2 Uploading Video to Steem and IPFS without Dtube / Tutorial / Instructions
This technology is very new and only few people are using it. It works, but more people will need to begin to use IPFS for speed to become faster. Dtube only posts your videos to IPFS for you. If you run IPFS yourself you don't need Dtube.
Unfortunately, that's no longer true: videos are uploaded to D.Tube internal server cluster at cluster.d.tube and are streamed from video.dtube.top. They changed it because IPFS was becoming too slow: https://nannal.com/dtube-past-present/
Thank you for this update @elevatrsimulatr
I wouldn't blame it on IPFS though. Since users weren't required to run IPFS when viewing Dtube videos, there weren't many people contributing to seeding/sharing.
Peertube is an awesome alternative that's actually decentralized / federated
