I went to that @kleshguitars blog, and the results I see are just mind blowing. Most of his post made under $0.10 !
And I think I know why is this so. I have been watching DTUBE, and their members post, and rewards, etc.
Most of the rewards yet come from one single whale account @dtube. It is hard to calculate , what percentage of ALL rewards they generate, but with their huge 2+MLN Steem (!) voting power, I believe it is well above 50% of total rewards raised on DTube. ( I would guess 70-80%)
Now see - who they upvote? Everyone can do a small research like I did, it is simple. Go to https://steemfriends.org/

Then enter acct name (@dtube), interested time period, select (4) SP x Total weight, and hit UPDATE. You will get something like this:

The same few dozen of dtubers been upvoted again and again. And again.
I will not talk here if they all create high or low value videos. Everyone can go and check, and see those videos themselves.
I highly doubt someone is watching those videos at @dtube acct individually every time - it take enormous human work, this is so very time hungry task.
And I have noticed that good part of upvotes from @dtube could possibly be automated, upvoted without watching the content. This also would answer, why they do sometimes upvote a LOW quality videos, once it has been posted by a "established" fan DTuber.

I believe I am not the only one, who see , who notice these things. And this may not build a high desire to spend many many hours posting works on Dtube for the newcomers.
Some of them may not process this deep research. They just start posting. And get pennies in return.
@kleshguitars is not the only such unlucky. I have noticed a number of great videos here, all expiring 7 day active period with a few pennies collected.
No wonder these people will not stay here for long.
