LOL, I support the outfit. keep up the good work. 

Thanks for putting this out there! Long video haha. My pizza is cold now :/

No but in all seriousness I was a little nervous to put it out there but it's something that I've been feeling for a while. And I agree with you and many others when it comes down to growing pains and short handedness.

However, it is a problem and it did need to be addressed. Like you said, it's the only way to grow. It still needs more work. This is a new platform. New rules, new styles, new ways to do things. And because of that, there needs to be some innovation in the curation as well. 

Well said though man, I support this video (and your outfit) 110%!

Great video man, I think this is a very interesting subject. We should touch on this more. 

Friction=Fusion,if there is not enough friction you won't have fusion.
I believe its like looking through a telescope and finding a distant planet,you have to wait till the lite reaches you before it's visible.
The higher the frequency the more visible you become.
It's the blockchain guy's,, the more blocks you create the higher Presents, Power and influence you carry.
So give it some gas and feed those 4-matic blockbusters and before you know it, you will be seamless: )

You become very superstitious when uploading. I usually pray to the steemit gods before uploading that works for me. Do something long enough and a ratio will appear. Don't expect an upvote every single post but rely on your ratio. 3 or 4 out of 7 for me. I'm happy with that. But overall, don't stop improving. 

Yes a great topic to have out in the open.    i go back and forth.   I've said it many times and i guess i lean most heavily in the direction of  'Dtube/Steemit dont owe me shit'   i owe me.  I owe myself to put out my best content for my own fulfillment.
but while i say that in one breath...the next... i have felt the frustration.   watching a vid with 150$ upvote and being like...that wasnt so good.   looking at the persons posts and seeing they are getting upvotes across the board and its all fine...but meh.  
  It just kinda feels too Auto.   like a past name had a great vid and so whenever there name posts....uppvoterooo for you..i dont even need to watch it.    it might not be the case that vidoes are being upvoted without even being watched.  maybe everyone is being meticulously watched...but that isnt how it always feels. 

my wah wah is that i have been posting on Dtube pretty consistently for over a month.   i have yet to receive an upvote.     I dont claim to have mind blowing content, or sick editing skills.   but i do claim to be constantly improving.   if you look at some of my early vids, bad lighting, shitty cuts, strange sound, poor angle choices.....i put out some real stinkers while in the learning process.  
 I dont regret a single one of them...but i sometimes wonder if maybe one of those stinkers got seen early on and because of that, when my name pops up...it easy to just skip over.   
who knows.   who cares really.    Not getting upvoted will not stop me from continuing to put out my comedy sketches and vlogs.   continuing to learn new tricks and keep improving my content.    at the end of the day...im doing this for me and not upvotes.

Haha @dlife...that bomber jacket outfit is hillarious.   with the dtube thug gangsta look combined with the tom cruise Top Gun sunglasses in a bomber look....you be Top Thug up in the Dnews house!!!

hahaha - sorry, I'm laughing at your mention of me.  You crazy mofo.

Nice summary of the cray cray talks in the discord.  Such madness waking up to it.

Thanks for summarizing the discussion we had. And thanks to @kevinli for calling my attention to this. I guess me and some other people would have missed it and I think we were talking about a really important topic.
All I can say is that I can understand both sides and I appreciate @coldbolt for taking the time and considering to work with the team on this. I think even with this statement we came a huge step forward.

As a first time viewer here I really enjoyed this video.
Everyone that posts here on dtube I think create some value for the blockchain, but I also agree that there seems to be a couple of people being favour here. But I believe at if you are consistent in creating quality cointent you will be rewarded in the end. 
I will give you a follow and looking forward to future content

I wasn't there when you got this conversation on discord but I have read all your messages on #general channel and also I have left some of my opinions about it in #suggestions this morning. I''m happy that this happened because Ive got a same feelings about this and now I can see that I'm not the only one. (but NEO is the ONE? Whatever :D)

Bless.

Thanks for keeping the discussion alive in constructive way. Thumb up!

Here are my two rusty cents about Dtube... F@#$% it, do you and don't worry about Dtube upvotes and who Dtube is in love with at the moment. As a content creator, it's up to you to promote and market yourself, this platform is still in its infancy stages. Stake your claim here and over time you will grow. This is a marathon, not a sprint...

Excellent video and topic! It's a lot of work to put out a good video, and also professional equipment costs money. I'd absolutely love to see DTube support its content creators a bit better. 

I'm posting to DTube as well as Youtube, so I haven't completely left there. I personally am focusing a bit more on DTube and DLive now though. (I've had a little bit more success with DLive so far but I think it just came down to being lucky. DLive seems inconsistent about when I get upvotes from them. LOL)

I post not for the money, but because I'm passionate. However, I do think compensation for good content is important if I am to keep making it. Or if I am to be encouraged to improve it, even getting $6 SBD worth of upvotes per video would be a big help. And, I'm not even getting that on a regular basis.

I do have a small channel, and while I'm in the middle of a web development project, it's been hard for me to focus on a lot of real content beyond DLive streams. But I have been surpised when I've put out content that I thought would be good and get more support than it ended up getting.

Thank you @spenceryan for bringing it to the attention of the community and to you, @dnews as well as @reseller for discussing this. 

This is one of the things that has kept me from jumping onto Dtube and Steemit. I tend to way over analyze things. So I've been doing allot of research. Maybe I'm just not understanding it. I have bought and watched 2 video courses about Steemit, which I would assume would also apply to Dtube, one from @jerrybanfield and one from @joeparys. Both seem to say the same thing buy a bunch of Steem Power and then upvote your own content and invest in bots to upload your own content. Then I started looking at Dtube and DLive and see that those platform owners help to upvote good content so I thought OK maybe I don't have to be uvoting my own stuff. Now I'm hearing that creators don't get those votes if they don't upload or stream at the right time of the day. Or they don't get them if they aren't in the "know" or bringing a huge following with them. So far, other than the freedom of speech, which for NSFW creators don't seem so free, it's not allot different than YouTube and Twitch :(

I would like to see categories to choose from and to find more than ten hits from a search term.
Also I would like a list of my channels I
 have subscribed to  and  easy access .And a subscriber feed.
I think this could be huge if you stick to free speech and expression.Like youtube used to be.
Remember the golden era of youtube when people were creating amazing and enlightening  videos by  copying cutting and  transforming mainstream content.
It was the start of a cultural renaissance , but it was snuffed out shortly after it began by copyright.
And now we have total censorship. I barely even use Youtube now.
Good luck Dtube  

Hey @DNews I didn't know you had another channel. Man I hope everyone isn't getting overlooked for Big Name YouTubers here. If that is the case in the end it won't be any different than YouTube is. We are gonna hang in there and see what happens.
