Bye-bye ScrewTube! Hello, DTube!

in dtube •  7 years ago  (edited)


This past week, ScrewTube, formerly known as YouTube, helped me make up my mind to completely transition to DTube. Just as I was about to get monetized, the rules were changed, and I was thrown under the no-hope bus with the rest of small channels. Or maybe so it seems? Maybe every cloud does indeed have a silver lining?
I have always chosen to be an optimist, and I believe that the timing couldn't have been better. Perhaps it is time for all of us to transition to a free, uncensored Internet where you rise because you have good content, and not because you choose to make long-winded videos so that YouTube algorithms would favor you?
In this video, I am sharing my story about ScrewTube, my thoughts about the future (read "DTube and decentralized platforms") and my hope for much better digital times to come.
I hope you will enjoy my little rant :)).
Have a great week, everyone!

Love and peace.
Elena

Dtube is definetly better!!!

@catherinegairard, Definitely!!

I followed you so I don't miss your videos! do you post dancing videos?

@catherinegairard, thank you so much! I followed you as well. Yes, I mainly post belly dance and meditation tutorials :). But I also like to blog pretty much about everything - traveling, being a mom, love, life lol :).

great! the bellydance tutorials seem interesting! I would like to learn to dance that

Be my guest! :)) It's very nice to meet you :))

Welcome on DTube :)

Thank you very much! :)) I feel like it's a breath of fresh air :). I feel excited again! :))

screw youtube!! i hope more and more people keep coming in steemit and Dtube. from what i can tell youtube keeps take freedoms and money out of contentmakers day by day

Amen 🙏! I’m tired of YouTube and Facebook. And all of them, really. I feel like we are entering the New Digital Age :)).

it's about time to lose more and more people and understand that what they are doing is completely stupid and wrong. the fun part would be the ''what we do next :P ''

They got greedy :(. They are losing a lot of good people. I honestly think that in the near future, they will be a new Myspace :).

or turn into steemit too :P but seriously i kept watching one after another of my ''favorite'' youtubers talking about that matter and that they can't handle it anymore.

also a small tip, you don't have to upvote my comments, not i earn $ as it is 0 and you are losing voting power, so it's a lose lose scenario
you can check how your vote worth and how mush voting power you have left by writing your account name in the link below

I think you are right! :)) About YouTube turning into Steemit. :)
Oh, and thank you so much for your advice on upvoting. I had not idea (Facebook habit? - gotta get rid of this one!).

haha i guess so! :P

in general whatever question you have ask freely anyone, i bet they will gladly help you out, that's the main difference between fb and instagram ( along other ones :P)

Agreed! I haven't even seen mean people on here yet! :) I'm beginning to believe in humanity all over again :).

I agree, Even though I was making very little, it still kept me motivated.
But now I'm fully sticking with DTube :) Hopefully it will attract more people to Steemit overall.

I will keep talking about Steemit and directing students from my studio to watch the videos on DTube. DTube needs an app for TVs and then we are rolling!
