As many of you who follow my program know, we've had some major funding issues in 2017 related to both YouTube and Amazon, but also more recently we lost about 10% of our Patrons due to a bungled announcement of a change to Patreon's fee structure. I caller asked about what's going on with Patreon...
The saving grace for 2018 might be...that with the growth of our content on Steemit, the "Patreon problems" may prove irrelevant
▶️ DTube
▶️ IPFS
I will admit that I sometimes still have my doubts about Steemit as s going concern, but so far it seems to be hanging in there. Time will tell.

@davidpakman I am wondering what place YouTube and DTube have if a complete move to Steemit happens.
There's no denying YouTube is a superior platform, but DTube certainly helps to bring in more exposure and therefore upvotes/steem/usd. I often have trouble watching DTube videos as the technology is not quite up to par with youtube and some videos (such as this one) I am just unable to watch.
What are your thoughts?

I also have some issues with Dtube sometimes. But as far as steemit replacing it and YouTube, dont think that will happen. There will always be people opposed to steemit and i fear it may be the majority that feel that way. So YouTube will always have a place. And some improvements need to be made to Steemit for it to become widely accepted. It can happen though. Everything starts small and works up. But YouTube will always remain superior to dtube. YouTube set the bar high and dtube is not even close

I have never been using any systems which pays out money for content before. I can thus not say which system is more profitable. I would hope however that steemit will be the number one, as this would increase the number of users and content massively.

Is there some easy to use payment system that runs on steem that would allow a "subscriber" to contribute money monthly to a person? Something like someone becoming a patron on Patreon. I new to Patreon and Steemit. So far I have one patron at $1 a month. I have made more money on Steemit so far I think. Not sure exactly how to convert the steem to dollars yet.

I can't see it replacing patreon yet, but as a platform for earning income, it's a great way to earn money just for doing what you do.
Many patreons feel the need to incentivize contributing to such a degree that I see them doing more patreon work than personal work.
If Steemit takes off then it'll be great for creatives who want to better balance personal projects with patreon work.

I have noticed that writers use both platforms and some get exposure on the Steemit platform but post most of their work on the Patreon platform. I don't think there is a major competition between the two platforms currently.
