I agree with you on these problems. I make it a point to stay off all links that take me to patronize YouTube. Aside from the fact that I notice psychic attacks as soon as I'm on there, it's just a nasty piece of Google's tentacles squeezing and usurping energy.

I have been uploading my own work to DTube, but it's not getting the support it needs. I am participating in the View.ly ICO now and hoping that their platform can offer us something much better than what we've been seeing up to now.
