Since every upvote is hand selected, no algorithm, it must be something catching the attention of whom ever is in charge! A reiteration of criteria would be nice on dtubes behalf, yet not knowing makes the entire process in their control and cannot be manipulated for any reason. Leaves us with artistic freedoms and you may find your own angle on getting that vote. It is a goal of mine to be on the receiving end, yet I am still learning the process of production and enjoy every minute of it.

If they do decide to upvotes someone’s first post because it was outstanding so be it, know that by posting your own content on this platform part of what you earn goes back into that fund pool for further promoting this makes me feel as if the dtube upvote is also my own.

Do you think announcing your investment would make a difference? You have made many steps in this area like you said, purchase of equipment for furthering the quality of your content. Since they seem to watch more then just your post but a direction your taking the channel, having a focus or message could make all of the difference. Each of your channels has a specific message but not everything is upvotes, why? Well I see that click bait titles are avoided, along with things that may seem misleading, comedy is somewhat over looked, general news doesn’t get much promotion either, in conclusion it’s the posts that add value to the platform receiving votes not necessarily all high quality post but the ones with the right message.
