Wow i wish to be upvoted by @dtube even $2 is very ok for me. I hope they share all there voting powers to all dtube users. Coz they lock or erase your previous videos. Before i want to enjoy and earn using youtube also, but i dont know how to get a google adsense.However, I felt sad that you will stop using dtube. I dont know what they are up to but i hope someday it will benefit us all. Im a little bit new in dtube, so many things to try and learn. Hoping more success in the future.

I think something is wrong of your thinking. Firstly thanks for your research about upvoting. You know Dtube is the first Dapp who is give upvote more those people who are not giving delegations. And your research only the delegations persons! I think you should research it again with the undelegated people who got the more upvoted from Dtube. And proudly I am of the One persome of them. **Think Again**

Hey Man!!

First of all I’m really sorry to hear about your experience.

Watched your whole video and created video response to you 

https://d.tube/#!/v/nathanmars/wmw3qadz

However you don’t need watch my video and I’ve asked my fellow Dtubers to engage with you and try to find a way to help you stay with Dtube.

My offer is that I’ll provide continuous support if you continue to post with dtube. Also please call me on Telegram @nathanmars or WhatsApp +447901003594 if you would prefer to talk to me.

Lastly I’m not expecting anything from you and please apologise me if I offended in any way or shape of form.

Thanks 🙏

Have you already tryed Bittube ?
So far I don't had any problems with uploads or Livestreams there.

There is some truth to what you say but then again, it's not exclusive. You mention unfair reward distribution and not welcoming new users. I just came to dtube with my first video yesterday and got upvoted straight away.

I'm not here for the upvote though. I want to grow my skillsets, increase my self-confidence and share valuable knowledge. 

Upvotes shouldn't be our main motivation. 

You will regret your decision later on. Consider sticking through the rough times. Dtube is just a baby and you are expecting it to write a song, explain the string theory and solve world hunger. 

It doesn't work that way. The baby can barely speak. Give it some time to develop.

Don't give up!

Hey there, sadly you decide to leave. I totally understand, but where to leave for? Youtube, facebook, Instagram? 

For me I do hope Steem dapps/UI become as user friendly as mainstream ones, so that we use it because we enjoy using it. We never post on a mainstream sites for reward, we post for fun, being a youtube/ins influencer nowadays is so costly and difficult. 

Again, DTube is young, it doesn't work as great as youtube (?) Yet lately I find uploading on DTube is getting better. I believe in Steem and wouldn't mind investing some time in it. Of course, you can say, I still have some support and make some reward, it can be easy for me to say...

Hi @spectrumecons, you know what. Your bye bye title successfully caused me to play and listen despite the inconvenience I have now - my 2 sons are not well.

I listened your whole video with an open heart and oh my I would like to say you are one nice guy. Very honest sharing of all the challenges you found out with Dtube. 

I just joined this platform and super excited about it mainly because I get to do my video and come out from my comfort zone. Regarding the video that disappear, I have heard about it also and I joined a community called onelovedtube where we have one super genius guy created something to back up those videos. He is @techcoderx.

If you are interested you can join the discord and find out more about how we backup our videos. 

https://discord.gg/ajmTF72

Of course we hope @dtube can solve this problem where our videos stay there for good.

I have not much idea on how dtube upvote our content. Newbie here. I try to start with the mentality if I get upvote, I praise. If I don't, I praise myself for doing a video. Lol. Hope it seems valid to you. Coz you are way longer in this journey.

I am like that. Any bye bye I will feel emotional. So I am glad I will still be seeing you around Steem. 

Keep Steeming and like you say, wish @dtube the best. And who know the best has yet to come in DTube? I am putting much hope here as well as other new dtubers. We got empowered by @nathanmars who want to lay down his effort and attention to empower Dtubers. 

So we hope for one another the best. I wish you all the success. 

P/S: please don't forget to hop in here and have a look out. You are like our seniors whom we can learn alot from. 

See you around. 

First of all, I want to state that you shared a lot of facts and no one can take that away from you.

About Reseller, while his videos might be dull sometimes & constantly the same he was with the platform since the beginning and that's a factor that is going in his favor...

About the same creators getting upvoted over and over again, I can assure you this is partially correct.

I was 7 months on the platform and there was times when I was in Top 3 earners but as well there were times when I barely managed to get in Top 10!

At other times I even dropped below the top 10 (when I became de-motivated to find new ways to add value & got lazy - stopped engaging with the community)

But by all means believe me, same users are not getting upvotes all over again - cause all of us who were top users 5 months ago - there is just few of us left here now (in terms of earning) but we had to go through times of not earning even remotely close to what we were used to... and wait for others users to allocate their fair share of SP

So I think what you are speaking is not fair in a way, cause I witnessed myself (and I'm not blind) DTube building lot of STEEM accounts to the point where they'd never be able to reach without it!

As well I've seen DTube support lot of users from 3rd world countries helping them to beat hunger etc.

So is not all how you look at it... sometimes the problem lies inside of OURSELVES

Any kind of point at world you develop will eventually become your reality, if you feed it good enough

Not to mention that illusions pretty often become our reality, just because they are too strong to break

Honestly, I've been at your place - where my earning were not that good and, whilst looking at everything how you did - he earn this amount -- she earns that

I was NEVER able to actually move & BUILD myself! The true development comes when we stop observing others & actually focus on our very path!

That's where the unimaginable happens, where the magic comes... in judging others and comparing with them nothing brilliant happens - except envy in the end that pushes us in the wrong direction, low frequencies - from where we are unable to think competitively & act in a way that is beneficial for us!

I would completely understand your decision if you had some active following on youtube, but you don't. Take that into consideration and consider uploading content on DTube first and afterwards put it on Youtube!

You have nothing to lose that way.

Oh and by the way, regarding the videos disappearing. Listen brother, this is not youtube - a centralized platform focused on keeping your data so they can profit off it

This is something else, decentralization in its core & very beginnings... obviously you DO NEED to take care of your very own content, since we don't have the shit ton of resources we need at this moment to keep every single video forever

And that's normal. If that is one of the reasons you are leaving, then I'm afraid you didn't fully research this blockchain you are on and maybe you are better off it :)

(until you decide to ACTUALLY put yourself into this and see things from different perspective).

And THERE was lot of times when I stopped receiving upvotes & even if I would start falling in a trap of comparison VS others (I'm a human myself), I'd try as hard as POSSIBLE to get out of that circle as fast as I can & continue moving forward...

Improving myself in every way, adding value, finding new ways - skillsets, communication skills, story-telling, editing... better filming, engagement

Shitload of things basically... I could ramble forever, but I should better stop

Whatever you decide my man, I fully SUPPORT you :) you are appreciated and its always great to see someone speaking from the HEART! Not many are able to do that

Peace.

@spectrumecons, If you are already uploading to YouTube and then Dtube why not keep doing both in your posts? 
If you look at my longer video's I will put a YouTube video at the bottom of the post for those in need of it. Not all people are able to watch DTube video's yet but it **Is** way ahead of where it was when it first build on top of the Steem Blockchain.

There have always been tricks to uploading videos to DTube from the beginning but again it has gotten better.

People like @nathanmars are doing what they can to make DTube work better and be held accountable.

Last week was the first DTube vote I had gotten in? 8 months.... I take votes as gifts...and wonderful surprises. I have followers that I am lucky enough to vote on my stuff but a normal post for me made 1.00$ in this day and time.

Now is the time to post and get noticed as so many leave because they don't think there is profit in it but in reality now is the time to get a bigger following......when Steem rises and everyone comes back You will already have the people following your video's.

I guess what I'm really saying is if you are still going to be making a post why not still upload it to DTube? What would you be losing?

Just my thoughts..... I wish you well in all you do. We are all human and get upset and as humans have free will. Peace to you and take a breath and maybe rethink your idea is all I ask.

Regarding the video upload & playback issues:

1. Yes, I have to say that many are frustrated that they delete videos. I understand that. However, we also have to know that we can host those ourselves too! (that's the whole point of decentralization). But, running IPFS nodes does cost some money, which many users who originally came from YouTube didn't like. (They're used to getting their videos hosted for "free"). Therefore, I decided to come up with an easy to use IPFS Discord bot that allows you to back up your videos to OneLoveDTube's community IPFS node. We offer pinning of 240p and 480p videos, but if they wish to backup their HD videos it would be a small monthly fee. Those videos get backed up to multiple servers in different geographical locations, so they're very decentralized.

2. Currently there is only one way to upload videos to DTube, which is using their official upload servers. (Unless you know how to upload directly to IPFS network and reference the hashes properly.) As we all know there's long queues, upload errors, IPFS issues... (the list is endless) I have been working on a solution to this problem by writing my own IPFS video uploader, that uploads directly to public IPFS gateway, asynchronous (means no more queues) and it's something that anyone can setup themselves. This is going to be an alternative way (means not a replacement) of uploading videos onto DTube, that just works. I can't reveal further details about this right now, but I will be unveiling the uploader in the next 24 hours, so if you're interested in this, make sure you follow my Steemit blog for that.

So there you go, I understand that there are many issues right now but as a community I have been working towards the solutions to these problems 😉

@spectrumecons, In my opinion we are still on the path of uncertainty because there are lot of **Dynamic** situations in this **Decentralised Economy**. And yes, no aspect is separate from the **Good** and **Bad**, so in every aspect we will see something which inspire us and something which demotivates and frustrates us. Unfortunate to hear that you've only received one upvote in **2018** from Dtube Team, and i am not sure how it is but in my opinion **Dtube** is doing **Manual Curation** so may be they are lacking the reach for now, but they are doing some effective work for sure. But you know your position and calculations better than anyone so, i hope and wish that you will soon will find the reason to continue with **Dtube**. And in my opinion you should check the **Dtube Video** from @nathanmars, actually he made an video in response of this video. Hopefully and in my opinion he shared some boosting points. Good luck and wish that your decisions will bring you the success.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Hi @spectrunecons the kind of content and knowledge you share is pretty good. Wish you change your decision and stay here longer. May be infutre dtube team uodate policies and platform.

Thank you very much for the good and for rejuvenation of Dtube and steemit. I think that you have highlighted the fact that those who have been delegated to this platform are only upvoting more than that, but keep an eye on those who have not done any delegation until today. If people get more support than those who have been delegated, then why they get support and others do not get it Of course, their content is not good, they do not get support for it. It is not a matter of delays that they are only getting support. Those who have not been delegated, they are getting more support because Dtube is such a platform where you share something you own or actually benefit people. If some people like to share something, then the best one gets support in the video, but still many donations Dropped so nice to research

Sorry to hear about it bro,i really feel you bro but don't worry about it we can make dtube a better video platform for the community..

You can stay here bro we are here as your family to support everyone on @dtube..

Thanks for sharing your experience with dtube. I didn't know thst they are mostly supporting the same accounts all over again. I totally agree if they got this huge delegation they should upvote a wide variety of accounts on dtube to male it more attractive and popular.
Lets hope that things turn for better as we are approaching the SMT project. Good post and I hope you find your way back to dtube someday!!!

I agree with you regarding the automatic votes that you give to some users, because whenever I see the trends page they are the same, and I have always asked myself that. But I never got a clear answer until now.

Hi, @spectrumecons!

You just got a **5.85%** upvote from SteemPlus!
To get higher upvotes, earn more SteemPlus Points (SPP). On your Steemit wallet, check your SPP balance and click on "How to earn SPP?" to find out all the ways to earn.
If you're not using SteemPlus yet, please check our last posts in [here](https://steemit.com/@steem-plus) to see the many ways in which SteemPlus can improve your Steem experience on Steemit and Busy.

Judging by the fact that the author caused such a powerful resonance in his post, the topic is very relevant. Indeed, there are problems and they need to be solved. Perhaps the author's post will be the catalyst necessary to launch mechanisms to improve our community.

Thanks for your in-depth explanation of your reasoning behind moving to YouTube! I hope this will help reduce voting circles on the Steem blockchain.
