RE: Is dTube better than YouTube?
Depends on your perspective. In terms of image quality, sound quality, and features, YouTube is fantastic, but in terms of getting rewarded for your efforts DTube can't be beat. My YT channel isn't monetized because that wasn't my first objective, but the need to game the system to get my videos seen is a turn off, and that is ultimately what motivated me to try DTube. Looks like you are well on your way, good luck!
I agree with you on all points actually. I assume dTube will increase their capabilities as it grows - I'd love to see 4K video etc on there too.
As for gaming the system, that's the trouble now with YouTube. I feel like it used to be a meritocracy where creating premium great videos would get the most views. Now I don't feel like that's the case at all and lots of quality videos by good creators just get ignored.
I only shoot video in 4K because the other resolutions do not produce good low light image quality, and I don't control the lights; I get what I get. The draw back to that resolution is that the files are huge. There is too much competition on YT and they seem to favor the bigger channels. I think it ties in with the search engine algorithm where the "well established authority" on any subject gets a higher ranking and is presented first, and naturally gets more attention. That's where gaming the system comes in, but I don't really have time for that.
Indeed we plan to support high qualities than 480p in the future. We are just going to slowly ramp it up depending on our ressources, stability, and the number of users on the website.
At the moment getting rewarded on DTube with some quality video is pretty easy because the website is new and competition is low. Just give it a few months ;)
It's not a complaint, merely an observation. Eventually having 720p would be great as that is the lowest resolution my editor will convert to from 4K, this eliminates one step in the process. Greetings!
I just wonder what will change for Facebook and other sites the internet is buzzing on this site and D-tube
I am new so far i do not focus on the money i focus on the expierence but your right You tube is so dead when it comes to engagement i like it there but it is always about donating and this is why tv will always beat original content we need a platform like steem it to pay us for our contribution into the platform.
