Dear DLivers & Steemians,
I have some news about DLive to share with everyone on DLive and Steemit. Before I get into the details, I want to take a moment to thank @ned and Steemit Inc. for the support. Steem is an amazing blockchain. It was the first project to introduce its own content-focused blockchain to provide an outlet for those content creators being censored, demonetized, and treated unfairly on other platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch. I sincerely feel that DLive adds value to the Steem blockchain and we have shown the new and existing users of Steemit just how great this blockchain is. However, we have realized that a consumption-based economy is indispensable for the long-term sustainability of any live streaming and video applications. The major source of income for streamers should be highly dependent on their viewers supporting them through various methods such as tipping, gifting, and subscriptions. Now, it is time to start a new chapter on this journey. On Monday, September 24th at 10:00 am PDT, DLive will be migrating to the Lino blockchain testnet. During the migration, DLive will be down for the entire day. On Tuesday, September 25th at 10:00 am PDT, we will be back up and running but on the Lino blockchain testnet.
This may come as a shock to our Community but my team and I have had thorough discussions about truly bringing this platform to the next level. Yes, there is a bunch of development work that needs to be done before we become competitive but we feel this move to Lino will greatly improve the user experience and performance of DLive. More importantly, it will create a sustainable future for DLive. The Lino blockchain not only maintains the important positive attributes for why DLive decided to utilize blockchain technology for live streaming but also provides solutions for a more decentralized and stable infrastructure, fee-less transactions, and can process over 10,000 transactions per second which is ideal for micro transactions. On top of all this, Lino’s main focus is to revolutionize the video content ecosystem and will be providing resources and support to make it a reality. The Lino Team is a group of talented individuals that share the same vision in the future of blockchain and video industry. Your original content should not become something that is manipulated by anyone or entity. We believe by utilizing the Lino ecosystem that DLive can become a killer app that stands out from all the DApps in the world.
On Tuesday, September 25th at 10:00 am PDT after the migration is complete, you can expect to see a glimpse of "The New DLive" along with a new UI and the new branding. It is an exciting change for every DLiver. Unfortunately, after the migration, the DLive android application will be down for roughly a week. For all the users that are using the mobile application, we ask that you use the web app, or navigate to https://dlive.io on your mobile browsers.
Why is DLive migrating?
We've been monitoring analytics and we were not able to reward our content creators with the true value of their content. Our focus was to grow our user base, and build an engaging live streaming and video community while growing Steem as well, and deliver upvotes as evenly as possible during the last 9 months. However, the current economic model of Steem incentivizes large Steem holders to continuously upvote their own content and other creators who specifically support their content. This creates an ecosystem where a content’s true value can't be recognized or be fairly rewarded. Community members who are not "privileged" enough to be a part of these groups with large voting power are therefore penalized financially. This problem has been brought up many times within the community and even by prominent figures outside of the community. We believe that this problem, along with the current market conditions has led to a decreased consumption rate of live streams and videos on the platform and is one of the most important issues we are looking to resolve. For DLive to reach the next level of live streaming and video, we need a more sustainable ecosystem and a more fair mechanism to encourage content consumption and production on the platform.
There are other issues that will be addressed after the migration. Things like account setups. Account setups are instant on the new DLive, you can create an account and start live streaming or uploading videos within a few minutes. This is so important for mainstream adoption. We monitored our guest accounts and found that only a small percentage were able to wait for a Steemit account to start using our platform.
For improving the live streaming experience, you can start and stop your broadcast whenever you like straight from your broadcasting software. There is no need to make a new post every time you go live. There are many more reasons why we are migrating and I believe if you sign into DLive on Tuesday, September 25th as a new or existing user you will agree.
How will DLive users be rewarded during the Lino testnet phase?
During the test net period on the Lino blockchain, we will use LINO Testnet Points to reward users. Rewards will be delivered through tipping and gifting rather than upvotes. All the users will be allocated a certain amount of free LINO Points when they sign up. Users will also be able to buy LINO Points in order to make donations. We will also have channel subscriptions enabled shortly after the migration, so you will be able to subscribe to your favorite channels. However, consumption is very important to support content creators. The major source of income for content creators will come from the donations from viewers and fans who truly appreciate the original content, and eventually, the DLive team will reward users through the Lino blockchain inflation pool instead of directly rewarding users through tipping.
Lino has an inflationary rewards pool similar to Steemit. This is paid out on top of your tips, gifts, and channel subscriptions based on Proof of Content Value; it will be done automatically based on the consumption using a proprietary algorithm. The reward pool distribution to you, as a content creator, will be proportional to the amount that your content earnings constitute of the entire tipping pool earnings.
For example, when you receive a $5 tip, and the remainder of the entire DLive ecosystem content tipping pool within the same time frame generates an additional $95, your earnings constitute 5% of the total earnings pool and therefore will be rewarded approximately 5% of the inflationary reward pool. All the posts on the Lino blockchain will not have 7-day earnings window, which means all the posts can be tipped and earn bonus rewards from the inflation rewards pool forever.
Earnings for a single post (live stream or video) ≈ Donations from viewers + Bonus rewards from blockchain inflation.
Introducing the New Community Hub
End-user experience has always been and will always be a top priority for us. Nothing will change with this migration, we understand how resistant the Community may be to change but let me assure you that our team will be here to assist in anything you may need. We just launched a new Community Hub in replacement of the Help Center, dedicated to all of DLive’s users. The new Community Hub consists of a help center, a forum, a blog, and customer support services. From now on you can access all the resources you need in one location.
As always our team is accessible through Discord, DLive Fanbase and the new Community Hub, 24 hours a day. If you have any questions that are not addressed in the Community Hub, please don't hesitate to contact us.
A New Chapter, A New Start
To show our appreciation, all DLive accounts created prior to September 24th will receive 100 LINO Points as a bonus, when you sign in to The New DLive and claim your Lino blockchain account.
The New DLive on a new blockchain. It is a change as well as a challenge to DLive and everyone in the community. It is a new journey for both DLive and the Lino blockchain and I am sure everyone will love it.
We have always valued the opinion of our Community. If you will be using #TheNewDLive and are supportive of this change, leave a comment below. I can’t wait to hear from all of you!
Again, thanks @steemit, hello #LinoNetwork.
Best Regards,
Charles Wayn (Kent)
CEO, DLive

Why does anyone think that a private company like steemit inc will tell anyone what they are doing?
Do they not understand that a private company does what is in the best interest of those private owners?
I was hoping that they would be more open... until I discovered that it was a completely private company. Now I don't expect them to do anything but enrich themselves. Isn't that what private companies do?

In order to do so, private companies must create and mantain some product/service at a high enough level of quality that people still want to pay for it.
They have a right to keep secrets, and we have the right to continually demand them to change that policy. Else, a more competent company will obsolete them in the long term.

I think it is despicable that dlive are leaving Steem as well as poaching Steem's users to a different chain, no less after so many Steemit users have put their time and effort into helping dlive become what it is today.
Ultimately, I think the decision to leave is only going to do harm to dlive and not Steem itself. A network effect can only be achieved if projects like Dlive build on Steem - the first and most established blockchain for social media applications. Taking the dapp else where is just fracturing value.
If it's not built on Steem then I can't support, or use it. As such, I will no longer be a dlive'er. Disappointing yes, but as others have pointed out, Steem is much much bigger than dlive.
Good luck, good bye, and good riddance.

To removed your content from dLive before they steal your personal property and move it to another chain database without your consent, log in and edit/delete each one. They are not offering a way currently to wholesale remove your content. You can also use third party tools to download the content, and a post is going to be made by a concerned user in a community I am in, which will outline the way to find the direct storage link and download your prior content using tools like VLC player.

I think it's great news/warning for steem stakeholders, to see and hear community requests. If they think bid-bots, self-votes, angry whales will attract investors but not dapps (if they don't support them enough), well we'll see how it goes. I think every dApp should pursue its goals and look for better solutions. I don't think dLive is happy with this change but we can't blame the team at all.
And I think they already brought enough value/people compared to the delegation they had. Other dApps should think about moving to steem (this money generating blockchain with zero transaction fees and almost instant transactions.) However we are witnessing to opposite why? maybe our stakeholders have a short vision, unfortunately.
We already have a handful of successful dApps around here, if we lose a few more...
I tried dLive once, my upload speed wasn't efficient enough and I know dTube is going to support live streaming. Or someone else can work on a live streaming dApp on steem but if nothing is going to change, results won't change either.

I wasn't talking about steemit inc's delegation but other ones who invests in bid-bots and try to get some ROI by self-votes. From my point of view dApps will save this blockchain. Everyone cheering about SMTs, what's SMT? a tool for dApps, hivemind? niche networks... That's the only future for steem, or there will always be alternative chains.
Steem is lucky to be a frontier but that's all, it was even luckier when koreans decided to pump it.
Yeah what if dTube decides to move to another chain, will you support them as you do today?

I say, their chances of succeeding (becoming at least one of the top 50 tokens) are not that big. All the crypto people are already using Steem to post their clips on the blockchain, why migrate to another platform.
And even if Steemians go on their video platform, they will probably just end up taking the price, and buy back into Steem, or even fiat.
Their only chance is to hit the Asian market.

Of course, everybody's free to come and go as they please. DLive surely got bought to move, and probably for a substantial sum of money since they were already doing great over here. Why not use both chains? Because they are part of the Lino team.
They can leave but, the way they leave seems just like a slap in the face to the blockchain that put them on the map. Why give away 100 Points? Because you need new users and are trying to acquire/steal them from here.
But yeah, maybe you are right, a handful of devs can't steal away Steemians to a new testnet platform because, with all its problems, Steem is still the best social-media blockchain out there, and the industry standard at the moment. Thus, who would leave it for something non-existent? :)

I'm willing to test the waters on this new endeavor of theirs. I am nor ever was exclusive to @DLive or #STEEM, but I believe that both will be successful on their own accounts. I'm a streamer, and I still do the occasional stream on twitch, of course it's not primarily for the money or that twitch has all the bells and whistles, it's to show my audience there are better alternatives like DLive. I also blog, and a majority of my posts are oriented towards life as a streamer, so even after DLive pulls out and blows their wad in a younger, prettier, less experienced partner, I'll still be blogging on @Steempeak.

Sorry, my bad in that case.
Yeah, users can use both chains, it is already happening, that's not such a huge issue, necessarily.
But, people didn't just used DLive for their service but, for the chain they were operating on. A lot of people became video content creators after the launch of DTube, and eventually DLive because they saw an opportunity in doing so since they could've got rewarded in Steem.
People were also able to stream on Twitch it's same as DLive, probably better as technology but, many of them never did it since it's not Steem.
DLive developed their tech here, with the resources we provided, and are now leaving with to another chain, and that is the reason people are mad.

Probably a big chunk of that SP will now go to DTube because there will be an increasing demand for curation on their DApp since all the DLive users will migrate over there.
They could've easily kept their service for both chains but, since they are leaving, it is obvious that they got bought.

This is the first time I've ever used my rented SP to flag a post 100%. Mainly because I usually prefer to take the route of rewarding excellent content/comments instead and stay out of inefficient conflicts.
But this post is simply unacceptable without you being more honest. You think you can put on a false front and give a few flippant reasons why you're moving to Lino, without telling the full truth. The community is not that stupid. Did you or did you not plan this for an extended amount of time, secretly and behind the scenes?
If not, you have a lot of explaining to do. Did Steemit, Inc. know of your plans? Did you really think this decision would not greatly enrage people, especially making it suddenly out of nowhere? Do you really not think this will permanently damage your company's reputation because of the lack of integrity you have displayed?
If you wanted to do this the right way and really felt you needed a different blockchain for your project, you would have written a genuine announcement about this a long time ago. But you wanted to keep getting free handouts from STEEM as long as possible, didn't you?
Answer all these questions in full detail and complete honesty and I'd retract my flag as well as edit this comment.
[self-upvoted for visibility.]
P.S. Note that I don't support the aggressive way some are choosing to handle this. Death threats are never acceptable. We can handle this in a more civil manner.
But we still expect answers if you want things to even somewhat resolve when it comes to your relationship to the STEEM community. I write this comment with a loving intent and not out of anger. We're waiting for the fuller truth of this situation to emerge.

Self upvote is just using your own stake. It's the ultimate freedom. It's called promoting yourself when you feel you have something important to say.

I can't say I entirely disagree with you, but I've always seen self-upvotes as a form of approving of your own content, rather than taking your perspective out of the equation and allowing others to be the judge.

Yes you approve your own content. But it doesn't make you immune. Other stake holders can upvote and downvote you at the same time. Others will judge you also.

I really don't understand what the purpose is, or why it is necessary
especially when STEEM is going to be having the major updates it will be having relatively soon. It seems that you all want to build a great platform, but fracturing and potentially destroying the entire userbase doesn't really seem like a great idea. Why was this decision made and announced not even a week before implementing without any input from the community? That's distressing, and "#InDLiveWeTrust" isn't really an answer, blind faith is a bad idea.
Why not have DLive work cross-chain and work with both or more chains?
I am not sure that I will continue to use the service if it is off STEEM entirely.
I don't even know what LINO is, it may be better for DLive, but at least give people time to understand. 5 days is not nearly enough. I thought transparency was the rule of law at Dlive, and am severely disappointed.

We are very disappointed to see Dlive leave the Steem ecosystem. As much as we understand the need for innovation, and the upsides of having control over your own blockchain, we can't help but to think that this exit is happening right before the peak of opportunity.
In our view, it would have made more sense to become part of the SMT ecosystem and build on a blockchain that had already the underpinnings to catapult Dlive into new heights, but recognise at the same time the value of freedom and choice.

Wow, this is big news. I hope @wa7 understands that the majority of people here are obviously upset; however I'd say that this event is something the Steem community (including Steemit Inc) should learn from:
DLive is a business, and as a business owner / founder / manager you have to do what you deem best for your business. While the arguments in this post are fairly weak (why can't you have tipping with Steem?), there's definitely a thing to the account creation topic which hinders growth for a startup (a lot, I suppose).
Therefore it's DLive's right to make this swap. However, what seems really wrong is that they've used the delegation from Steemit Inc to grow their business initially and now that they've had their kickstart they abandon the ecosystem to start their own. If Steemit had given DLive a usual "real world" grant, investment or whatever, this kind of thing would be prohibited by real world contracts. @tcpolymath also had a good piece about the delegation principles. @ned maybe something to think about.
The other side of this is that leaving Steem will probably kill support from thousands of users. Whether Lino is actually usable or valuable to DLive's remaining and new users is totally unclear. So far, and without having read much about Lino, it seems the whole thing is pretty centralized. Good luck with that!

Wow so many downvotes! I rarely if ever see one. Here are my thoughts as a video creator. I love making videos, I have been very active with YouTube since the end of 2013 with my cooking show, and with over 230 videos and about 5 years later, I make okay money on YouTube, but if you took away my top two earning videos after all that work, I would make a pittance. I was so happy to find DTube! It was another avenue to earn money with my content. I tried DLive and just didn't like the experience much over there. I know people love that platform. I just couldn't get much traction on it. I think using the Steem Delegation to build up their platform and then leave is not cool. But here is the thing, so many people got upvotes from Dlive right? DLive can't take that money away from you. So at least a lot of people here on Steemit benefited from the delegation. I think out of all my videos that I made on there, I got upvoted once by DLive. haha at any rate, I am fine that they are leaving, but I was never really invested with them that much, I am sorry for those that are/were. I do wish people would be a little more civil though with each other in the comments. :)

Everyone on some threshold or another is reluctant to change, so from my perspective I happen to think that this is a positive step in the right direction for @DLive. I really don't like the idea of migrating to a completely new blockchain that hasn't weathered the storm of the crypto-market like #STEEM has, but new isn't necessarily a bad thing here. Blockchain tech is on the cusp of a new generation and the Lino blockchain appears to be very oriented toward video content creators, human interaction, and a fair rewards system. I just wish there was a bit more tech info but I can't even find the whitepaper!
All in all, I'm with #DLive on this one, you will see myself and @reptimom88 on the new platform.
Cheers to new beginnings @DLive :beers:

Combined with the fact that this was a rushed decision with no proper community input or allowance for proper time to even research LINO to begin with.

Congratulations!

As an experienced longtime producer of amazing content for consumers to enjoy as they utilize this blockchain and as someone who has used their stake from time to time in an attempt to support those using your service known as the Old, Moldy, and now Defunct DDead in order to help your service and the contributors see success, only to be told it wasn't enough and I've wasted my time...
Well...
To that I say good riddance!
If the shirt is dirty, throw it out and buy a new one? You'll face a whole new set of problems now with your new plan and there won't be too many places left to run to.
Many folks here will not want to turn their backs on the following they worked incredibly hard to earn and you seem to think a vlogger can do that and then expect donations? Yeah, good luck with that one.
Everyone can go there and start from scratch to enjoy a service that sounds like it's going to be just like all the others in existence today, offering nothing new or innovative. That doesn't sound like a disruptive technology I'd be interested in. It sounds like everything else. These vloggers would be better off now receiving tips and subscriptions on Youtube, because that's what they do there.
If you're planning on reinventing the wheel, you don't just build a wheel and call it a whool instead.
This platform has been working on solutions since day one. They know it's not perfect but they certainly don't want it to remain imperfect forever. Some trial, some errors and a shitload of patience is needed and that's something a lot of people here can handle, which is why we don't see them running away with their tails in between their legs.
I feel used, and I don't like it. We produce content, make sacrifices, build up a fan base, people who stick around, they're here to explore, they see something like Dlive, become fans of new users there. As a content producer on Steemit, that's one of the greatest things I as well as many others do for you folks and we're all facing the same struggles yet sticking around.
Have a nice day.

SMTs are a ways away but to break it down from my understanding, smts doesn't solve the reward pool being rapped continuously by a "dedicated" and "invested " few, it only gives people the ability to issue their own tokens, which is nothing more than a glorified way of ignoring the problem caused by the lack of moderation by fracturing people into little "moderated" groups.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes you can issue your own tokens, that's not "only", that's a huge difference. Steem will continue to be payed out like it is now, plus it will also be part of the SMT rewards. Like with @steemhunt, you can earn both HUNT tokens and Steem with your upvotes. Now if DLive went with an SMT and did 1 person = 1 vote token payouts without 7 day limits, it would solve a lot. And steemit.com is losing its firm dominance on the Steem ecosystem. It isn't far fetched at all, you're going to see a new dominant dapp here in the near future. Now if DLive was on top with millions of users all upvoting their favorite streamers/video creators, everyone getting payed both in DLive tokens and Steem, it would make a big impact on Steem's distribution itself. 'Cause the problem is big accounts circle voting right now and not enough small accounts voting to make a difference. DLive with its account based voting as the main way to earn would consequently change the game for Steem as well in the background.
That's my understanding of SMTs anyway. :P

There is no reason why an SMT could not become hugely valuable if the app(s) it was created for became hugely popular. It's possible to design the distribution of an SMT in any desired manner from the outset. Every one of the problems mentioned by the DLive team could've been solved by the SMT protocol - except for bandwidth, of course, the ownership of which will be quite concentrated into whale hands for quite some time.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Exactly. The way Steem is payed out won't change, but SMTs can change the distribution. You earn Steem alongside SMTs. So if the masses started using any dapp using SMTs as its main payout method, those same people voting would unconsciously make Steem more evenly distributed. Making the potential whale circle jerking using just Steem harder and harder. A few whales can't offset a flood of minnows fighting against them.

I won't speculate about whether this was your plan right from the start or not since it wouldn't change a thing, but I want to let you know that you just personally failed on a high scale. Being the crypto markets still a very small world, your newly acquired image of having exploited the Steem network in such way, won't help you much in terms of starting out new business agreements. Who may want to trust someone like you in the future?
The fact that the Business Developer from Steemit, Inc just commented a Nooo! here, makes me think if you haven't even informed the ones that provided you with so much loyalty and support, before setting up this blog post. That'd be not only unprofessional but also a clear zero with regards to business ethics. I hope I am wrong about this.
Now I have a question for you which is a friendly recommendation at the very same time:

So ultimately the only thing that SMTs do is make innumerable niche communities that aim at "excluding" those who abuse, which creates a whole slew of problems, such as raping the reward pool without all that competition.

It depends on how you want to view raping the reward pool? Since self-voting is not prohibit there can't be such a thing like raping the reward pool. Who ever has Steempower is allowed to do with it what he wants, thats the beauty of decentralization. Otherwise if we prohibit it we have a problem with centralization. Ether way its better to view self-voting not as raping its more like unsocial behavior which is pretty common nowadays in all kinds of businesses.

The problem with "the code allows it" is that you evade the responsibility to speak up against injustices and the dilemma is clearly that who remain are those who don't care and those that condone the abuse. Clearly every stakeholder has a responsibility to condemn abuse or outright stop it with their stake, or do you really think that the consequences won't proliferate into an atmosphere completely against community?

Well I agree to your argument but I can also understand that not every Steem user is a content creator, developer or witness. Most people you upvote them self are purely investors and they like to see ROI. In order to be able to create income for them they have to hold on to their large Steempower which is a good thing. I hear many users complaining about the price of steem...and thats why we need more investors on the platform who are willing to increase their steempower. This platform also can't survive just by content creators who keep on selling their earned Steems to the market. We need to make everybody happy here on Steem...content creators, developers, witnesses and Investors.

The ROI is Curation rewards, that's what the structure is designed as. If people don't hold Steem they are forced to stop interacting with the community. If investors want an ROI, they have a duty to use their stake for the benefit of everyone, more or less, any other behavior will only disadvantage the community which will lead to a worthless token. You cannot evade that inconvenient fact, if you are an investor and don't use your stake then it's only speculation and ultimately you will exit the market, so any such investors will devalue the token.

I understand exactly how it works, that's why the whitepaper talks about the exact abuse you seem to not understand.

It's obviously no mental mastery involved to conclude definitely that you hardly considered such a basic logical exercise. I've beat people over the head with that yet the denial of reality is so great that they think they can twist it around, the reward pool is un-rape-able, why don't you explain what you think I meant when I and a multitude of long time users talk about abuse and raping the reward pool, then I'll beat you over the head with some more basic thought exercises.

I'm sure there are a lot of limiting factors from trying to mass curate on a blockchain you have no control over.
Steem shouldn't be above criticism. Dlive is leaving for a reason. People get maliciously flagged until they leave the platform. Higher quality content is hard to come by, and extremely low quality content can get overly rewarded depending on your stake and connections. The Haejins and the Bernies of the world are constantly devaluing the steem that actual good content creators are earning, buying, and spending.

Yes Steem is not a unicorn fairyland. Steem is the real world.
"The Haejins and the Bernies of the world are constantly devaluing the steem" no they are not. People disagree about stuff happens all the time. It's human. It's not like there is a new big argument here everyday. On Steem Blockchain people voice opinions more than other platforms. Since on other platforms you have bad protection.
"People get maliciously flagged until they leave the platform." this is not true either. People have intense discussions yes. Some lose some cents here and there. That is mainly what you see. Many people become best friends after a disagreement. Adults have different opinions about stuff.
Majority of people create higher quality content eventually get's discovered and rewarded. You can even daily get paid for walking with @actifit. Also you did not mention a place that is more positive. Here people invent new projects on a weekly basis.

the cost of servers/data storage were probably more (a lot more) than the 70k steem they made curating/posting. That means they have been operating at a loss with a pretty revolutionary platform.
With their own blockchain (centered around content) and own coin distribution they will make more money and so will the content creators. And they might be able to compete with the likes of twitch/youtube.
Steem is not centered around content. Steem is centered around power.

I am surprised by this move but hold no grudges of any kind, everyone is free to do as they choose without overpowering others - that is part of the anarchic philosophy the underpins the design of Steem.
I will just point out though that whether the points raised in the post here are the real reasons for Dlive leaving Steem or not - I for one am always looking for ways that truly resolve the power imbalance problems on Steem because I see that once they are resolved, the value and attraction of Steem can skyrocket and benefit all users. For those who may not be aware, I have created a Steem Stats site called steem ocean that allows us to examine the voting behaviour of accounts (among other useful stats).. And now, perhaps more importantly, I have realised a way for the steem bid bot problem to be resolved without overpowering anyone - which I have posted about and which I am currently talking with UI developers about introducing to their apps (though not steemit.com since it is not really in active development and my suggestions nearly always get totally ignored anyway). Follow me for more info on this as it evolves, if you like.

Well @phoneinf, I disagree. Have a good look at some of the Whale one line or one word posts and tell me they work just as hard as anyone else. I'll wager that I can find a Whale shitpost with less than 1 word that made more than $20. At the same time I can spend 2 days creating a video and I have very good luck if I make $0.20 This isn't about shaming people that have more; this is about giving folks a fair chance when they deliver quality work.

That wasn't the point, what we've been saying has completely gone over your head. The issue we're bringing up is effort vs rewards for that effort. Numerous people produce some high end work and it hardly gets seen and makes next to nothing, or literally does make nothing. Meanwhile someone can just log in, type "LOL" and click post and BOOM more income from typing 3 characters than a full day of minimum wage labor.
I have spent 5+ hours on just writing a single post that barely makes a few cents while someone can literally just make a throw away shitpost and score bags. That is the issue. Effort. High effort doesn't get rewarded meanwhile low or no effort gets heavily rewarded.
Why should anyone continue to really put in a ton of effort if all that's going to happen is we'll get ignored and unrewarded while content that takes literally no effort at all rakes everything in?
Why should I spend 66+ hours researching scientific articles and sifting through tons of complex information to write a quality post on the future of mankind as an interstellar species on Steemit when someone else can literally post a no effort post? Is my quality of work as a scientist, software developer, researcher and deaf activist worth less than someone who posts low effort garbage on Steemit?

"I have spent 5+ hours on just writing a single post that barely makes a few cents while someone can literally just make a throw away shitpost and score bags. " The problem is that you expect to get a reward. Which makes you come across as entitled.
I spent 8 months writing hundreds of articles on a website. I barely made $100. I don't go around complain though since I wasn't entitled. I wasn't giving what the market wanted. You have to adjust to the current market place.
"Numerous people produce some high end work and it hardly gets seen and makes next to nothing" this is not true. First of all it takes around 1-2 years of smart and hard work daily before you even get on the map. Steemit has barely existed for 2 years. So there is a lack of perspective here. You need a solid content strategy to succeed and you also need to leverage work + connections + capital. You need to be able to build trust and relationships with people. You need to be both Street Smart + Book Smart.
"someone can just log in, type "LOL" and click post and BOOM more income from typing 3 characters than a full day of minimum wage labor." no it doesn't work like that. That won't be sustainable for long. Majority of stake holders are not doing that either. It's a waste of time trying to look at the minority. And people can do what they want with their stake. That is the cool thing about this place. You don't earn insane amounts of rewards by self upvote. With a few thousand Steem you can get maybe 1-2 Steem by self upvote a day. That is not so much. So it's not unfair for anyone.
"Why should anyone continue to really put in a ton of effort if all that's going to happen is we'll get ignored and unrewarded while content that takes literally no effort at all rakes everything in?" this is because you don't put enough time and energy into commenting and building up connections. Yes it takes a lot of time. But it's the same for everyone else.
If someone invested early then clearly they will have more Stake. They took a risk. If they made a profit they can do what they desire with it. You are in competition with the whole world also. Since we now have globalism. This means you always need to improve your game.

Then I suppose you wouldn't mind a simple change to make the stakes more fair. Instead of the current system that puts things on the front page, how about things instead be chronologically ordered as they're posted without things sticking up at the top for very long at all? Would you be in favor of something like this?

@phoneinf As if the Whale who votes for himself doesn't expect a reward; talk about entitlement and hypocrisy. Go ahead, flag them a few times; see how they react! I don't expect a reward; I expect my work to be seen and rise or fall by it's own merit because if it doesn't, I haven't really succeeded, ..nor have I failed.
I am not some freeloader, I paid for at least half of my Steem, and the next time I buy Crypto I may just save myself the additional overhead of converting it to Steem.

I think it's an interesting move. My wife and have were consistently producing content on Steem for a while, but the circle jerking thing really annoyed us both. Eventually, as rewards started to decrease to community members and float to the whales which caused our earnings (mainly hers) to go down, she became disincentivized.
I'm appreciative for the initiative Steem took to tackle content monetization via blockchain, but this monetization issue (steem circle jerk) has been around since the beginning of Steem and was always a major problem. Everyone shouting out that this next update HF20 will solve everything, when Steem has been around for 2+ years with this existing issue, doesn't exactly make me feel that re-assured either.
Will see how both Steem and Lino work out.

However, the current economic model of Steem incentivizes large Steem holders to continuously upvote their own content and other creators who specifically support their content. This creates an ecosystem where a content’s true value can't be recognized or be fairly rewarded. Community members who are not "privileged" enough to be a part of these groups with large voting power are therefore penalized financially.Do you seriously complain about this?

Even if you seem to have logical reasons, your arguments do not seem valid to me, because there are many other options that you could apply in your understood evolutionary process and growth, but without damaging Steem...
I am very sad and disappointed to see people and projects very ungrateful, such as DLive and others, who received a lot of support, money and help from Steemit, after achieving their objectives, the biggest financings for their projects and earning many dollars, they pretend Now sink the "ship" and then escape like Rats, abandoning the Steem ecosystem and causing serious damage to investors.
In your analysis, you thought: How about being part of the SMT ecosystem? Probably little cares about that, because maybe your plans were from the beginning to make a lot of money here in the STEEM ecosystem, obtain the funds you needed with minimal effort and as hindrances of Steemit, and then as parasites assassinate whoever hosted and fed yours kindly.
I think you are very dishonest and unethical...

Ustedes en sus análisis pensaron Qué tal formar parte del ecosistema SMT? Probablemente poco les importa eso, porque tal vez sus planes eran desde el principio ganar mucho dinero aqui en el ecosistema STEEM, obtener los fondos que necesitaban con un mínimo esfuerzo y como rémoras de Steemit, y después como parásitos asesinar a quien los hospedó y alimentó amablemente.

DLive's reasons for migrating are valid to some degree BUT a dapp that chooses to receive support from one (beta) platform and the community members on there should NOT unabashingly abandon for another (beta) platform.

I agree with you that the use of delegation funds in this way was inappropriate and not a good way to go about leaving steem.
By the same token we can look at our endemic whales who never upvote other users and the whale wars such as those with haejin and bernie sanders that argue that they can and do whatever they want with their Steem.
In that regard I feel Dlive did more to further community development and engagement than all the whalebots ever did, just like Steemmonsters is building something users can utilize and engage in that brings value, we still have time to see new Dapps appear and while it may be a loss for us it's more of a community lesson. Even with delegation and power they were looking for something Steemit could not offer them, I mean Lino ain't even got a value yet and they still went with it.
Until we address the core problems of Steemit delegation and whaling though, it would not surprise me to see some Dapps leave the ecosystem in the long run.

Yeah, that was my first reaction, too.
I'm shocked!
Does Steemit, Inc have written contracts with their delegatees? Maybe we can learn from it and make loyalty become a legal compromise for partners who receive such monster delegations? I don't even know if something like that is possible in a decentralized world, but since most of the dApps are centralized, maybe it's something to think about.
Besides the general slap in the blockchain's face, many users are worried about their content being stored on the Dlive website, not providing any feature to delete it from there. Hopefully we don't need to fear that our content will be used in the Lino network without our permission.
Tough days... Sending my best wishes to you and the team, David.

Today is definitely a dramatic day in the steemit blockchain, where we move from here will be interesting and looking at the community reaction there will be a contender that will take off and grow fast will only be a matter of time.
I believe an entrepreneurial team will come and show us something great.

Change is constant! So, kudos to the new adventure Dlive is embarking on. Instead of playing the Blame Game, we all should put our hands together and make planet Earth a better place to live in.

Here's a problem I see. You want to avoid circlejerk, but I already see a way to circlejerk in their new system, even before its launched. All you have to do is "donate" your friend some tokens for their stream. Then they will reward them with more tokens because the stream already got some attention. Tips won't be enough to stop circlejerk, hell it might even increase the circlejerking. Whatever you do, I hope you the best of luck, but in my eyes, you've made a mistake leaving the steem blockchian. But where you ever truly here to begin with, because from what I see, it looks like a cashgrab to open up LINO. Whatever it is, see you guys later.

Yeah I'm not migrating over because this removes the only source of income I get on videos, the upvote. For smaller creators without a lot of fans and when most of said fans don't have money to donate, the upvote was a great way to support creators.
By removing that and making it tip only, you are removing the one advantage your site had over YouTube or Twitch, the fact you can get paid by people who are broke or just don't want to give directly without ads.

I used DLive for videos, not livestreams so Vimm doesn't work for me. DTube is a better alternative for that use case.

I've read the post, and the comments. As much as I understand the emotional reactions, I always thought Steemit for dlive is like a soccer player(dlive) trying to kick a 40kg ball(steemit) when it comes to Steemit's sign up system. Example: I told my friends and some gamers/bloggers about steemit/dlive and only two got their accounts approved although many more tried to sign up. There were many more wanting to try and stream their gameplay and do regulers blogs, but some accounts never got approved. If somebody got told about steemit from a blogger already signed here, this person could receive the needed help and an account could be opened through Blocktrades.org but not everyone interested knows about this. I agree that steemit has to keep trying and prevent people from opening massive amounts of accounts, but there needs to be a better solution so those who made the leap to join steem at a certain moment and mindset, can use steemit right away! I have folks who tried to sign up December 2017 and they still didnt get approved.
Solution suggestion for this problem: Enable people to open accounts without delegating any steem to them. Then, after a couple weeks of usage when you see, aha, one of the new accounts is a legit user, you still can choose abd support them.
Regarding the leaving part and exploitation accusations, Steemit never said a app has to stay on steem blockchain forever upon receiving a delegation. Maybe it's a gamble with the new blockchain and they will never take off, or dlive team had ideas they weren't able to realise on steemit, ... but thinking about the many streamers who failed signing up and help grow the community due to steemit's waiting period in comparison to the driven @dlive team to make this app work I am curious to what's coming.

Hardfork 20 is all about streamlining new signups. If Dlive stayed with Steem they'd be able to bypass Steemit and sign up new users themselves. But apparently that was never part of the plan.

I hope so too but because of the time passed many creators/streamers didn't sign up.
Example. I told youtubers about steemit and got a 7million sub channel to sign up but upon waiting for weeks to be approved they may have lost interest.

Crazy news! I was
with surprise when I found out, especially since I was wearing my lucky rock today.
But change is an undeniable fact of life. I love Dlive and I love Steem and while I understand the shortcomings laid out, I always thought the two were a good match and would eventually hash things out.
I bet this was a hard decision to make, but I don't believe it was made lightly. I will continue to support Dlive and Steemit and am excited to see what the Dlive team has planed.
All aboard whose going aboard!
