Hello my name is Sam and if you want to know what Dtube is, then read to the end. What is Dtube? in this write-up, I will attempt to answer this question I will also consider if tube is an alternative to YouTube. Before I explain what Dtube is I have to first mention what is steemit. Stemmit is a social media website. stemmit is a platform that Dtube runs on. It's system is a little bit complex. You can exchange a steam on cryptocurrency exchanges to get bitcoins or ethereum.
You can then exchange your crypto for money on a website like BINANCE to get money. You can keep your steem on stemmit and power up your steem Power. People have voting power honesty. The more steam power you have, the more your votes influence content. Steem can be earned or bought in crypto currency exchanges. You can earn steem in different ways. You earn steem by upvoting recent post. Make content that gets upvotes.
You get more reward from people with more Steem Power. You can also earn steem by getting votes on comments.The important thing to remember is that for all earning methods you can only earn steem from content for a week (seven days). I highly recommend reading the steemit FAQ for more information on this topic. So, Dtube is a video of upload platform that runs on the steem platform. Content creators upload videos to a channel. DTube is structured very much like a YouTube alternative website. Everything about earning on steemit applies to Dtube. You can earn from votes, and you earn steem on content or seven days.
Why do people want alternatives to YouTube? YouTube it's the largest website for user created content. I like it very much. I earn money in my youtube channel since 2016 but YouTube is not perfect, some people want alternative. Recently YouTube has made earning money from ads much harder. YouTube has been demonetizing videos and enforcing a much stricter ad policy. This is causing much frustration on a lot of people. The fact is on YouTube unless you have other revenue streams if you earn from ads you are at mercy of Google.
Advertisers are cracking down and some are leaving YouTube. Google is getting much more strict with who can earn money from ads. YouTube just recently make getting in and being eligible for the ad program harder. In 2017 you needed to have 10,000 lifetime views to earn money from ads but now you need to have 4,000 hours watch time within the past 12 months and 1000 subscribers. This policy change means unless you get that much view time and have this many subscribers you not be eligible for the ad program.
The truth is unless you get thousands of views often you won't earn from revenue anyway. Not in significant amounts but this recent change has annoyed many small-time creators. They feel unless they grow big they will make no money while ad revenue is only one way to make money from videos, in most cases small creators will not get the other possible options. These issues are where potentially a platform like DTube could solve this issue and provide a good alternative. On Dtube you earn rewards from votes. Anybody can upload videos and earn votes if people like your content. Other than having a stemmit account, there are no requirements to earn steem.
Dtube is also decentralized. Content cannot be removed or censored. It is far too early to know if steemit Dtube an other stemmit based platforms have a future. Steemit seems promising but many startups do. Being promising does not prevent failure. The future of Dtube and stemmit are very much connected Dtube relies on steemit. If steemit grows and gain many users DTube will probably as well. Dtube needs more content creators and viewers.
If Dtube does gain a user base, it could possible be a website that stands out from YouTube due to its policies. It seems for now YouTube will remain king but we never know what can happen in the near future. so is DTube a good alternative to Youtube, it really depends on if users are willing to give the website a try. The developers on the website also have a lot of things to add and features to polish. But what I can certainly say is that is an amazing website and it's the easiest way to earn cryptocurrencies at the moment. So, what are you waiting for give it a try.
