RE: An open SMT payout future and cross-pollination
Video display time on the dtube becomes an issue the video creator is reluctant to join. Compared to Youtube, there does not have to be like to install ads and monetization, but it's enough with eye icons, how many times a video has been watched and Youtube calculates it for advertising and pays the owner of the video. That's why a lot of tutorial videos and useful there and we can watch whenever and the video maker gets paid for the hard work.
I once invited directors and local movie producers, but they know how to work Dtube and they are reluctant to join Steemit and Dtube, they are more at Youtube because not only Youtube members are counted as spectators, who do not have Youtube account also counted. Very different from Dtube, and the certainty to get a clear fee is definitely more on Youtube especially if a video becomes viral, the pay is many fold. In Steemit and Dtube there is no clear guarantee for them.
