Great post. Well DTube certainly has came up at a good time. Youtube algorithms have just went berserk and its no longer thinking of the small creators who are also big time subscribers and viewers and also Youtube is just about revenue from its advertisers. With new update to this YouTube partner policy, Youtube has once again made it clear, all it means it the Revenue from the Ads.
A big BIG problem for Dtube and steem is that Google being the nanny of YouTube, controls all the search engine optimization for YouTube. So if we search for Videos, we only get YouTube video links.
Google as a search is extremely biased for the companies which it earns most from. Many wont believe it, but that the truth. If the rift between Amazon and Google widens, we won't see Amazon sold item on top of Google search as well.
Also the top Youtubers are turning more and more baised these days with sponsored contents and endorsements and what not. Which they never say but for a average person, it is normal but if we tend to think logically, it will make sense.
Ultimately we are seeing what is a very manipulated matter. We see what the multi-billion companies wants us to see.
