WOULD YOU ACCEPT ADVERTISE IN YOUR VIDEO'S? - DTube talk#143

in dtube •  6 years ago 


Hi DTube family.
We all have seen what was going on in the last days. Steemit.Inc is pulling back delegations from DApps like dsound or musing.
What would happen if @dtube will loose the ~ 2 Mio SP delegation?
Well, in my opinion, this worst-case scenario should be considered as these delegations are never a safe pillow.
One option would be to get investors from outside investing in @dtube. For example with advertising video content.
Would you accept that? Find out my thoughts about it in the video.

Thank you for watching and please let me know in the comments below what you are thinking about it.

Have a wonderful day!

Love from Barcelona

I don't think that's really an option to be honest. We don't have the traffic for companies to justify advertising with us.

Also, I think it's pretty much now certain that the delegation will go, so enjoy it while it lasts people.

What I think should happen is for us to now stop thinking about DTube as a way to make money, but just another way of sharing our content for the love of it :)

Thank you for your great comment Ade. Well I agree. We might not have the traffic yet for being interesting enough for companies.
Ufff, hard to digest you saying this nightmare might come true. But I agree it is very much possible. We will see who will stay if this will happen. #fortheloveofit

I am afraid that dtube will be next. I hope not, but that’s what it’s looking like. Just hope there is a way to attract traffic and I don’t think adding advertising is. If I knew I’d be rich 😂

Thank you my friend @balticbadger for your thoughts on that. Well, let me know when you got the right enlightenment 💡 for the solution. Hahaha

I would accept ads but only as a last resort hun.

If you want any promo info put up in SteemNurse just send it to me on Twitter or here and I would be glad to tell everyone to help donate/assist/or even to help raise attendance for you guys. Just drop me a note if you need anything Dear hauptmann. Long time no chat. Any luck getting those videos removed from Daily Motion? I was able to get mine taken off but they put quite a stink up about it first. Talk soon. <3

Hey Steph, sorry or my late reply.
Yes I see it like you, as last resort and just temporary. Let’s see where it will go. Regarding the vid on daily motion, I couldn’t follow up lately. Have to do this homework coming weekend.
Promotion for the DTube Forum is always most appreciated. Any word, any mention and resteem will just bring this project further. Thank you for your offer. Best greetings for you and Ava from Barcelona

@dtube is a amazing project, we have so many to share to the world, we I don't kno if it's a good idea, all we have to do is create amazing content

Amazing content is a good start. But to create that, people need time. Time that has to be rewarded as well. But our community is healthy in my opinion and we will stick together and we create our future bright. Greetings from Barcelona

You're right, people need to be rewarded but the steem block chain has many ways to reward content

Advertising sounds like the best solution for me.

If dtube would implement advertising, do you think we would have to rely on views, rather than on upvotes??

Good question. Well of course it has to be countable as well for the potential investors. All what counts for them is clicks and watchtime I guess. Greetings from Barcelona

my video not running.please give me suggestion

Pulling back delegation from Dtube will affect many user who have started to share their content on regular basis....anyway advertising is not way, but even YouTube use advertising...you never know what next

Eh, the whole point of a decentralized video service is no ads needed. I think with services where the users are hosting the video it should be up to the creators to find their own sponsors, even if they sign up to a services that somehow inserts advertisements into their videos that is from outside of the service. The whole problem with the adpocalypse on youtube is the ads are too generic and both the advertisers and the creators don't have enough say in what is happening. With TV the companies know what programs their ads are put along side but with on demand they have no such insurance. What Google is doing is trying to apply an old system to a new system and expects it to work seamlessly which it will never get to work. If they keep on this course they'll just need to get rid of independent creators and only allow select companies along with a few creators to be allowed post videos. I really think the service that will replace youtube will be 100% decentralized and once it gains a little bit of traction companies like the Dollar Shave Club and VPN services will seek out creators on these platforms and sponsor them directly like they do right now on youtube. If Ford wants to advertise on a decentralized video service they need to get in touch with the creators directly. This would be 100% fair, sure, whoever Ford is sponsoring is making bank but the little guy that has a small VPN sponsor won't be pushed out by the video service allowing the Ford sponsoree on it's trending page but not the creator sponsored by the VPN service. Both creators get paid for better content on an equal playing field. Better creators will get better sponsors and such.

Thats an interesting topic buddy! for the sustainability the dapps really should find out an autarkic business model. it would not bother me, ok those must watch ads before the video are annoying but a banner on the side of a video would be ok in my opinion. because in the end this will be distributed, at least a fraction of it, to content creators as well. great vid
