Tipping the Balance - Consumers & Content Creators

in dtube •  5 years ago 


Considerable amount of time has been put in from the d.tube development side and the content creator's side to make this platform bigger, better and more successful.
I remember when most content creators where very proactive to make this platform that we enjoy gain more traction and do the best from our sides. I remember @hafizullah, @sergiomendes, @jeronimorubio and @drisers openly contributing to the idea of growing the platform as a content creator.

The problem lies within the fact that the balance between consumers and content creators isn't very easily stable. Through out my short journey I have noticed that most content creators on dtube are the consumers of dtube, and most consumers are the content creators. I remember very vividly Sergio talking about how we can get more people to watch videos here and help everyone grow. I remember how the other contests asked opinion about how we could excite others to join the platform. In my perspective, I do not mind the ratio of consumers to content creators as long as there is an increasing curve of users, because eventually one or the other will be nerfed.

For some time now, I have noticed a handful of dtube content creators have started receiving non-dtubers attention. It made me look at myself and the other dtube content creators as to why people who want nothing to do with dtube have started consuming and showing interest in dtube.

The secret to tipping the balance has always been in front of our eyes!

Whatever you do, if you are passionate about it, that matters. Your audience will know your feelings. Fake it to make it will not work.

Let me ask you a question. If you want to know or learn about anything and you want to consume that on video, where will you go? Of course, you go to YouTube. There is a reason, YouTube is the second biggest search engine.

The way DTube and DTubers put their effort on this platform, we will see a better picture in the future. Most DTubers are vloggers. And that's a good thing. Any kind of video content should be encouraged as long as it gives value. It could be related to educating, entertaining, providing information, news, lifestyle, how to videos and so on.

I have started making videos on DTube recently. I'd like to thank DTube and DTube community for your support and kind words of encouragement.

so #pypt is going to make me watch a whole lot of dtube... I'll try!

[ edit after watching a day later: ]
duuuude that's some top notch editing quality... love how you bracketed the content with those casey-neistaty-intermissions!

oh and, since we touched upon this on #pypt, it's really easy to actually embed your dtube in the post so that they're easy to watch on steemit... just paste the plain link URL into the post content like so:

and you'll get this:
