If someone upvotes, YES! In fact, it might be wise to do that while logged out from Steem and logged in into DTube. That way, you avoid the Steem blockchain but still have it on DTUbe, where you can earn and don't have to worry about anything, because it is likely that DTube will only touch content that has been particularly requested as stolen or criminal.

Most funny thing: you can upload all your videos to Youtube, use their services and quality but entirely monetize on Dtube/Steem.
