I'm sticking it out on yt for the time being, if for only these three reasons:
(1) Dtube collects 'royalties' (you may say) for only the first week, whereas, providing YT doesn't capriciously change terms (which of course, it's proven a bad track record for that so far...) Adsense pays ad revenue in perpetuity (theoretically). Thus the best strategy would be to 'exclusive premiere' on DTube a week before publishing on YT ...
(2) I'm fairly close to the new bar they set for ten thousand total views (a new rule as of Adpocolypse April 2017) before Adsense kicks-in (for me, again) ...
and (3) lately I've been suffering with a Dtube "Error while submitting to the blockchain" ... I've asked around and no one has any suggestion that gets rid of this so far. I may need to set up IPFS which I will once I set-up a machine I'm willing to commit as a 'shared resource' (IPFS/WebTorrent amongst well-deserving individuals, it seems) while my first upload to Dtube was difficult, it did finally go through without IPFS -- that is, unless a recent Firefox upgrade purged the IPFS add-on(?), so I'm mostly confused on the matter now ...
Anyway, best of luck to you!
Thanks, this is a beautiful piece. I understand that the video to steem advantage is still young and in beta stages. I'm hopeful for a solution. I've been studying the steem-js Library to understand the steem functionality and possibilities of creating usable/reliable applications. Also torrenting and file storage is yet another block to solve. Thank you for the premiering on Dtube and then posting to YT, that's a very brilliant Idea that I never knew. Thanks a lot
You're very much welcome ... there is so much to learn and such great opportunity to change the course down which certain established interests seem to be leading us, not in our best interests ... I have a great deal more hope with blockchain and crypto and of course, implying steemit, than I had after the 'ones I was sure would go viral on YT' didn't, before that adpocolypse nonsense ...
Torrent and maybe Apache ... ditch my entrenched hosting service ... crypto wallets instead of card processing ... actually makes more fiscal (not to mention philosophical) sense at this point for me ...
Exciting times, indeed ...
