RE: What's Really Best for DTube?
Well. Nice video. Haha.
I agree on most points and thank you for calling me amazing since i listened to the end. 😂
I noticed you mentioned some points i made and really, yeah it is out responsibility and ypu seem to take that seriously. That parody really did seem like a lot of work.
But honestly... Do you really think that you needed to make it in terms of maximizing your profits? Not at all. The time you took to make it, i think you said 2 weeks, you could have made a dozen videos and they would have made you far more money due to the dtube consistency rule....
"The more you post the more chance of a reward you get."
And people go by that rule... 1 daily dsound, 1 daily dtube, 1 daily dlive and if they dont make it just reupload something old.
Dtube doesnt create the incentive for them to improve because they just are rewarding conveyor belt content that gets almost no interactions whatsoever.
You dont do that, and thats admirable, but at the same time financially stupid. I made a dtube upvoted video, cover of pirates of the caribbean soundtrack. It took 2 producers to make 2 tracks from scratch which ended up making less for me then my regular uploads... And even then i wouldnt have gotten an upvote if i havent dmed and bothered one of the mods.
Thats hella discouraging.
The question is why should i even bother taking the time?
I really think dtube should push forward those creators that get the most views and dont have fat wallets.
And yes im saying people like me. Im saying people like you, like the guy you mentioned in the video, like the twins that vlog.
I know ill always do fine here, and ill always make 30-60$ dollars per video when ever i upload anything since there really isnt anyone else on this platform that can do what i do, so i can speak up. But others need to do it as well....
Before my ramble the chat was literally, hi, what a lovely day it is. Discussion is important.
Anyways great video.
I tried a couple of times to share across platforms, and I just couldn't do it. If I was going to make content, it all has to be different.
I agree completely with this. What I was trying to say though, is I am trying to play both worlds in order to make it work for me financially. If consistent, even daily content is what is most highly sought, then I have been trying to keep up with daily content, on top of working on longer-term projects. It's the only way that I can afford to even do the longer term projects.
I wasn't always a daily creator but I have had a couple of my bigger projects get totally skipped over. I worked on this Spice Girls video that took me AGES, and it was all dedicated to Dtube, so I could share it on my other platforms, and it made like under a dollar. I was DEVASTATED, especially when I saw what had gotten upvoted that day.
So from that day forward, I decided I was going to have backups in place (making daily vlogs) and prior to that even I had already started my daily news show, which was originally all about just Steem news, but I switched to mainstream comedic news to make it more consumable for the masses.
I think your stuff is exactly what this platform needs. Stuff like that should be trending. Though I think it's possible to still upvote content and have it not trend, and that be ok. Not all content, but decent, well-thought out content.
Thanks for watching it all. You really are awesome! :)
