DLive was the first project that tried to follow DTube's ways that I didn't resteem. Why? Because they had a D in their name, but their website was centralized. They were (and still are) running a GraphQL database to serve all their content. They haven't ever used the trending or hot features of the steem blockchain. The only thing they used in the steem blockchain, was the rewards mechanism.
Then they took a community-made DTube logo (which we ended up not using), painted it purple, and called it their logo.
Then they begged for delegation, because they knew it was achievable after seeing other real decentralized projects getting it. And they got it, because in the end Ned doesn't care that something is decentralized, as long as it uses Steem for rewards... ok.
Then they started competing on the video market. That was a particular dick move because video upload was already possible on steem. Oh and of course they decided to put the fees at the extreme minimum of 0%, just like furion did with his view.ly shitapp when I released DTube. The idea behind that, is that of course this way you grab more users, and you can make other apps that try to generate revenue from their work look bad.
Then they started paying their 'staff', which were all recruited from the steem community. Some devs coded for them, some marketers did marketing, and all were paid out of the delegation... I have no idea how much money that represents, maybe some of the people who worked for them can enlighten me?
Then they added more centralized tools. Facebook login, Google analytics, and much more. They tracked you, while giving your data to big corps, and perfected their marketing techniques until you believed their lies good enough.
Then they started collecting your emails, with the innocent excuse that they want to alert you when a new stream that you follow starts. And you gave them your emails. And now you're getting spammed.
Then they quit the STEEM blockchain, so now I can finally make a ragepost about their project without looking like a greedy competitor who is mad about the turn of events.
Now, the truth has been revealed. We know that DLive has always been part of a larger project called LINO, which got funded in Febuary 2018 for $20,000,000 USD by a Chinese investment fund, on the concept of making a 'decentralized youtube'. Rings a bell?
So it all makes sense. They weren't trying to make money and pay for servers, or hire a team, and build a project. They already had all that. What they wanted to grab out of STEEM, was a community, while testing and building their UI. They already had $20M in bank, and slaved good-willed STEEM users to work for them for upvotes. They deceived Ned by making him think they needed money when what they wanted was attention. Their plan was to leave Steem, since the start of their project. They even said:
Our experimental simulation on the Steem blockchain
in March 2018 in the lino official blog, as if they were having good fun with it.
Now, I'm not sure if this post will get a lot of visibility or not, but tell me guys, why did you trust these liars despite all the warnings the good users gave you? Why did you work for them for upvotes? Why do you believe any lie you see? Because you are GREEDY.
You are all crying now because your dear DLive is going to their token after having provenly raped and lied to the STEEM economy for months. But as usual, you should just have listened to the same people who have been doing good and promoting STEEM, not a few random chinamen who registered 1 week before publishing their project, and who hadn't done anything before that.
I'm glad that this cancer is off of STEEM, but sadly the bigger cancer is still there, and they will keep on lying to you and promoting shitty projects. If you don't feel confident in your judgement, and if you used DLive in the past especially, here are the recommended steps to avoid getting used by the manipulators inside this network:
- Follow your friends and people you truly appreciate reading or watching videos of
- Follow me (should already be done if you followed first step)
- Use the feed (its the steem homepage if you are logged in)
- Never click Trending/New/Hot/Promoted categories
- Dont ever go on the profile of a user you do not trust
- Mute all the bots from the comments

If you upvoted this comment of mine, I'm sorry I ruined your DLiver career :D
Update content:
Few hours after this post was published, someone started sending scam emails to random people pretending to be [email protected], trying to sell life insurance stuff (??). DTube will never send automated emails to you, we only use the @d.tube emails for business emails between our staff and partners. Also we can't even send you emails because we don't know what are your emails, and we don't want to know.
It's very likely that they are doing that after reading up on my post which analyzes and details their full intent and premeditation of their scam from the start. Being the script kiddies they are, they didn't find a better way to annoy me.
I have to admit I didn't see this coming, I want to make a longer post explaining everything and why I love curating streamers but I'm not able to right now as I only have my phone available. I hope the truth comes to light and the users who I got to know through dlive will see the true power of Steem very soon.
You might call it just being greedy, but I've personally written tons of posts before a streaming platform existed on Steem, you might be right about the users who stopped posting videos to Dtube and turned to Dlive though.
Anyway, the way they did this is really disgusting and it will hurt their own brand more than it does Steem. Considering Limo is only distributed to private investors it's funny they think users will want to go there to enrich them.
Also love the bonus content, they are literally becoming worse than Twitch.

The emotion and tribalism is in full force.
Much of the problems Kent outlined in steem have been proven over and over today.
Greedy whales (and ass kissers) will circle jerk eachother dry, while anyone who dissents from their opinion ends up getting flagged.
Whales and those who wish to convert to fiat are constantly devaluing steem, limiting the reward pool and dlive's ability to curate their creators.
Imagine you are dlive, your goal is to create a platform to rival twitch and youtube- you can't do that with the (roughly) $1000 a day the reward pool allows you to allocate.
And did any of the whales (who are so angry at them leaving) come and support some any of their content creators? I know you did, johal did, and fulltimegeek did and ausbit did. The vast majority did not. And it was clearly not enough to make a difference.
I've been told I should quit steem because I support dlive's move. This community would much rather ignore its problems, blame others and fall in line. It's pathetic.
Dlive is leaving for a reason. To say it is an exit scam, a fake ico, whatever- is wholefully and willingly ignoring the real reasons.

Sorry, but...how is Dlive any different? They were given 2 million(?) SP so that they could upvote streamers. Is this not a whale’s share? Is that content and their voting habits not exclusive?
Why is a business trying to rely on gifted stake and curating? Sounds like a failed model to me. Maybe they ought to learn how social media companies and revenue models work.
Dlive is leaving for a reason - and that reason is that they have their own blockchain. This was their plan. Steem has tons of problems. But to think that Dlive and their STINC delegation wasn’t part of them is just completely ignorant, and willfully so. They can whine and make excuses all they want, but the only people they’re fooling are the usual lot of fucking idiots.

I understand they also had some significant potential funds from Lino's ICO that, given the same folks ran both, they could have used to increase their stake and operating funds on Steem. If they'd ever seriously tried to they may well have been able to keep running their ops on Steem, and simply ported over to Lino and become a dual chain platform.
They never seriously considered that IMHO.
Thanks!

Yesterday when I read the announcement, I though DTube was leaving. Glad to learn that it's actually DLive, which I never used due to its lack of decentralized video hosting.
One fishy aspect of the farewell post is that it doesn't provide actual technical reasons for leaving Steem. The "Why is DLive migrating?" section is super wish-washy and mostly discusses the imperfect nature of influence proportional to power. But this shouldn't actually concern a service provider. For example, as long as people post to DTube and they keep getting a slice via beneficiary rewards, then all is good. As such, it was clear to me the DLive explanation was a red herring... excuses.

Dlive was a great app in Steem blockchain which always promotes Steem and which brings huge traffic from outside of Steemit.
Whatever it is; Let's put @dlive to one side, I advise you to to develop your own project instead of teasing the others @heimindanger ?
Dtube is still same Dtube as previous months.
I've used it about 7-8 months ago, uploaded a few videos.
None of them was upvoted (your team were busy to upvote his friends, you know who I'm talking about, no need to say names here)
And all my videos are lost now. All trash... I can't find my videos.
And probably i can't get any future upvotes after this comment btw lol
And here is a bonus content:
I just browsed livestreams section on Dtube.
There is only one stream.
And I can't even watch it...
By the way; there are still more much live streams on dlive.io at the moment. They are streaming although they know that they can't get upvote from dlive anymore. So, are you sure that they are greedy?

Rome wasn't built in a day. DTube is an open source project, we gather fees but on @dtube upvotes only, any benef reward coming from community votes are fully redistributed via @dtube.rewards, and ends up being about 50/50 curator/author split instead of 25/75.
This allows us to have a few persons actively working on the project, but it's really not a lot, and variance in the price of the token forces us to be conservative in our approach, as we don't want to overhire and have to kick people out. Instability of service is something that happened a lot to us during the 0.8 patch (more about that in 0.9 patch post), because we couldn't afford to purchase a copy of our infrastructure solely for testing purpose, so we tried it on live servers. Our new livestream feature is also not the best currently, some users complaining about disconnects, but it will improve over time.
All this stuff we are building is still experimental, and we truly try to make things 'for good', not for a cash grab, otherwise I would have created an ERC-20 for DTube a long time ago.

I'm assuming you have no issue with that though, right?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I don't know if you blame us for this but I'm starting to get used with anonsteem accounts talking about our delegation...
So I could say sorry for working 18h per day to create value on Steem and getting rewarded like 80$ per week to survive..., when a normal company would pay me 10k per month, but I really prefer to say that :
Can you give me any alternative? Because I searched for it for a long time, and until we find investment or release an app with an economic model (which is on the way), I dont see too much possibilities.... except taking fees on our Founders.. which is pretty the same problem in my idea, since most of them are for the benefit of Steem too. Why all witnesses are not helping to do that? That's also a good question. Except some guy like ausbitbank they are just taking benefit of Steem without doing anything or helping others... and I don't know now how much produce a witness in the top but I'm pretty sure that he get more Steem per week than the whole Fundition team....
As I said we have many projects on road, not only Fundition, you can check them here https://steemit.com/steemit/@futureshock/futureshock-and-steem-the-future-is-yours and most of them have a big potential but unfortunately, even if we are allways looking for sponsors and investors, finding them takes much more time than expected... and mostly because a simple conference cost in average 2000$. If not you can be sure that I do my best to get in and promote Steem and our projects to everyone in a good way ;) By the way if you pass in Strasbourg (France) the 10 October you can see that in live.
https://www.meetup.com/Crypto-Alsace/events/254829756
And if today we are taking benefit of the reward pool with our self-upvotes, same stake holders should think about who's creating value over Steem, why they are doing it, and with which mind. We do it as an incubator, and I believe by creating useful apps and free tools for everyone. While there is many ways to take benefit of that "pool" we prefered to choose transparency with our rewarding system. Btw like unother app, I can say that we never cheated with upvotes and voted "our friends", we mostly did only useful and logical things (at least in my opinion) while in our team, we do weekly report to ensure an equality of work/reward. And the last thing that I can say is even the guy who receive only 1 upvote per week in our team is doing 10x more work than he get paid, for the health of this blockchain, because FutureShock is building non-stop and Fundition is helping many other platforms to grow or to become alive.
So I can totaly understand what you say, since I took many time to think about that system before doing it, and the only thing that I can ask from people is to trust in our work. And if not, I suggest them to downvote our commentaries, that's how Steem works.
Because even if Steemit Inc. did a misstake this time too, most of DApps which are supported by them are still used by many stemians and became an habbit for them. DLive is a pity case and as an old Dtube dev I really wish to see the platform getting developed and taking back its place.
Finaly, everything would be different if we had some real support from most of stakeholders instead of suspicious commentaries, because some of us are willing to improve steem... everyone is not holding 20M$ and planning to move somewhere else ;)

Is @ned so naive that he delegated so much SP to a project which loyalty was doubtful? As you mentioned, "Because they had a D in their name, but their website was centralized." A centralized platform was duping the experienced businessman like Ned for months and he had no awareness of the matter. I never used dlike. I had posted just a few videos on dtube because I thought dtube is better, despite of never receiving upvote from it.
I think migration of dlive is better for this platform and dtube also. Now, dtube can progress much and become a true decentralized 'youtube'.

You'll notice a huge influx of new users joining Dtube. I do feel sorry for all the guys who were building a real community over at Dlive for it to be stolen away from them. Still, Steemit will go on and we will get stronger.

Streaming was why I initially went to dlive and because they would upvote and my account could grow on steemit which allowed me to curate a lil better with other good content and it meant my content did go noticed as well plus gaming was better used there.

What shocks me the most is they gave our personal info to God knows who. Literally my name address phone number etc. I’m terrified to think who is holding that information now and what they might do with it. I’m not even sure if our passwords are safe after logging in there. Honestly if they are that shady I’m thinking of changing my password too. @elsiekjay

I only know what I read in @heimindanger 's post. You need to explain this to him than I guess.
"Then they added more centralized tools. Facebook login, Google analytics, and much more. They tracked you, while giving your data to big corps, and perfected their marketing techniques until you believed their lies good enough.
Then they started collecting your emails, with the innocent excuse that they want to alert you when a new stream that you follow starts. And you gave them your emails. And now you're getting spammed." <- his words not mine. I do feel you should have given those people notice either way. Also why were you not decentralized but never told anyone?
Honestly I would be inclined to believe you if you had given people more notice of your exit. But typically it is hard to trust people who pull fast ones on loyal members. So I am going to go with @heimindanger on this one. I wish you guys all the best. Don't shoot the messenger. I only know what I was told.
I have corrected the word sold to gave to exactly quote above more accurately. However I have no clue what was done. Only knew what I read. I do know you ditched thousands of users who built a massive following with no warning. Sorry the truth is not pleasant but 'facts don't care about your feelings'.
Lastly why would you use tons of bots to upvote your own comment if you are so honest and fair? Your trying to make it appear as if people agree with you. It is really lame. If you were being honest and lets say you were for a moment you would not need faux accounts to push what you wrote to make it appear better than my comments. My words aka the truth do not need 'bots' to be validated. Your actions on Steemit are worth more than a thousand of your bots in validating the truth that is written above about you by @heimindanger. Go pick on someone your own size. I am just a Mom trying to create content. I have never used one bot in my whole life much less ELEVEN of them on one of my own comments. Lame lame lame. Oh wait it has since increased to FIFTY bots. Truth can stand on its own two feet it doesn't require bots. Please quit while your ahead. You are making me loose brain cells.

There is 10 of your "people who agree with your comment ah hem lie". I would do this 40 more times to prove my point further but I would not want to waste the pixels on anyone's device screens more than has already been wasted on this nonsense of leaving thousands of people high and dry like you have. I will only continue making you look silly if you persist because I have truth on my side and you Sir do not. You show us there is no honesty in your actions and your excuses are as fake as your 50 "upvotes". Your problem is I have too many brain cells. Not a lack of them. I also have the ability to speak my mind. I think many people are afraid to say the truth out here and are being way to nice to people who left them like hot potatoes.

I had my suspicions about D-live not being decentralized but couldn't find any information about that. Guess it was staring us in the face all along.
I've been curating DTube for quite a few months now (at least topics that interest me) and I really appreciate the curator/content creator ratio as it incentivizes the community to mutually support one another. I never had a problem with the 25% going to support devs and to help pay for the IPFS storage. We should all put our money (votes) where are mouth is to bring in true decentralization on the platform and beyond. Much respect to you and your team. I hope i finally get around to making video content one of these days;)

IPFS generally doesn't cost money for storage =\ even I run an IPFS node.

Fair point, but correct me if I'm wrong but if we're talking about HD video files then storage does become and issue and more costly.
I believe that DTube's original post talked about the possibility of Witnesses running IPFS nodes and in that model could get compensation for hosting content on their servers. However, since it would be costly for them (initial start up expenses) to host a node with the capacity it was not feasible in the early going. Therefore, it was necessary to find an existing IPFS network to connect to as a workaround.

Yeah, considering how STEEM is built, witnesses should be the ones running the IPFS nodes, or at least largely contributing.
But they don't want to. It's extra cost, without gaining anything. Most witnesses are greedier than the average user.

.... Nope. Not so. Your post reels of asshurt greed. Yet you dare to accuse those of us who didn't want to pay an outrageous fee for your so-so platform of greed? Tell me of any fee in the fucking world that is 25%. I was with you and listening until you dared to spew that garbage.
The fact of the matter is that their platform was superior. The reason is because they had a shit ton of money and they were more stable because they had heavily centralized elements. However, if you had done the right and brave thing, trusted people, and sounded the alarm in a tactful way much earlier, dive would not have been able to pull this off so well.
Don't blame the users because you chose silence. Admit your mistake and welcome the disoriented and betrayed users into your platform... Instead of making yourself feel good and saying "haha, I told you so... Well I didn't because I was afraid you wouldn't like me, but I totally could have."

Wow. Downvoted my post without comment or explanation. Real mature, man. This could have been a discussion, but I'm glad you're showing your true colors. The amount of ego required to downvote someone who gets nearly zero visibility for saying something you disagree with is unfathomable. You're wrong and you know you're wrong.
The crazy thing is that despite my critique of you in general (I stand by everything I said) I'm actually in your side. I'm grilling you because I need to know for sure that you're there real deal.
My main issue with your article is that it totally seems to miss the point. Screw DLive if they're leaving. All the better for you. But now you are the face of Steem's premier video dApp. You can't shove customer choices in their face. If you're taking profit, that makes users customers.
Argue all you like, but when you do things like you just did it reflects poorly on Steem, on you, and on your platform. If you want to expose an evil doer and with dignity and grace, then it will become clear.
I want Steem to make it and, despite your behavior, I want YOU to make it. But I'm not some brain dead Steem worshipper who will pat you on the head and tell you you're great. I'm going to hold you accountable. If you don't like that and are going to fight it, then Steem is already doomed.

I understand your frustration, however ... in my case it was not so much about being greedy (and, as far as I remember, neither I myself nor my wife ever received any upvote form the DLive account).
The reason why I stopped using DTube is that unfortunately I noticed that after I while some of my DTube videos didn't work anymore. And all I want is a place where I can save my precious (precious: for my own memory, probably not concerning quality) videos.
I like to use DTube again, if I can be sure my videos will still be watchable even years after I posted them.

A better way to do this is when you have those moments you want to keep stored for a very long time, back them up on external media (external HDD's, CD/DVD) and upload them to multiple sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Bitchute, Mega, etc. Redundant backups is the safest method for this kind of thing.

Thanks, I know ... But as STEEM(it) plays a rather important role in my everyday life, it would be very nice to have access to my best videos as well when I am logged in there. Before entering STEEM I was not active at all in social media of any kind, and I have not (and don't plan to open) many different accounts on many different sites.
Some of my videos are actually stored at vimeo, but I would like to associate them all with my presence here in the long run.

Invalid argument. Hosting and keeping your videos loading is easy, you just need to run IPFS. The hash of your video will never change, if you still have the source files, getting them back online is pretty easy.
You are greedy, and now looking for excuses for your behavior, and trying to convince yourself that you are in the good and did nothing wrong, because you expect a decentralized website to host petabytes of videos for free forever.

I have no idea about all that. I just noticed, that some of my videos aren't running anymore. In DLive it worked better. I am a user, not a developper.
Nonsense. You are unfair. :)
I know better than you why I switched to DLive, do I? Yes, I do!
I need not to look for excuses - why should I need to justify anything?
I wrote that comment, because I like DTube and wanted to let you know what the problem is. That's all. I wouldn't have written anything in case I didn't care about DTube.
I don't have enough time for complicated thoughts like that. I just want to use something which is working well.
So in other words you say that it is impossible to still view uploaded DTube videos after quite some time has passed? Then, unfortunately, for me it makes more sense to save my video in sites like vimeo, even if I would prefer to use an app like DTube.

Well you need to take into consideration that we are trying to build a decentralized video platform. If we host all videos like vimeo does, how exactly does that make our platform decentralized?
While it is convenient to have vimeo or youtube host everything in a brainless mode for us, it isn't possible if we want the platform to be truly free...
I understand that decentralization doesn't have any direct marketing advantage. That's why DLive acted the way they did, and centralized everything, while keeping the decentralized part in their marketing scheme. It's easier and it looks even closer to a real video platform experience, because actually nothing was changed from it.

OK, thanks for your reply! But what do you suggest if I like not to lose my videos in the long run?
Shall I upload them to DTube again, anyway, or must I save them at another place, as well? Do I I still need an additional centralized place?
I am not especially talented in making videos, but nevertheless some of them mean much to me as precious memories ... and I like to observe nature and secure these moments.
Concerning videos not running I read in one of your other comments that this problem has been solved (or at least improved a lot) since quite a while, right?
Also here I may not be up to date because I am not uploading videos so frequently.

A video file is just a video file. I don't know how big file wise video files are. But google does allow for file storage. I don't think they care what kind of file, they just have a limit on the amount of file space they give for free. So you get a google account, your wife gets a google account, then you have two places to store files. Google doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, delete files. Heck I have e-mails going back to the beginning of google.
If you run out of storage on google, you can always change your phone number and get another google account.
I think amazon also offers file storage, and a few other places they of course charge, but if it is just your files, it may be a reasonable fee.

Our storage strategy has evolved in the latest patch with the new clustered infrastructure. Videos should stay on IPFS for much longer than before.
Of course, we still recommend that if you want all your video to keep loading, to run IPFS yourself on your PC and keep your own videos pinned there, this way they will always load.

And yeah, I'm saying "I told you so" because I can. And I will keep on doing it for all the other shit projects out there, as well as all the other bad things happening in this community.
Oh and counting views in a decentralized way isn't the easiest thing to do. But you don't care, you're not a technical person and you just want your goddamn view counter like a little kido.

I might actually keep using them as video storage (if they keep it free xD) instead of YouTube but write the actual posts on top of steem.
I might use dtube or something else. Whatever suits my work interests at that particular point. I don’t mind being a little kiddo as long as the content I create brings traffic and adds entertainment value (๑╹ω╹๑ ), that’s why I care that it stays available as long as possible.

Thank god I was using both DTube and DLive to post videos, now that I don't have to upload my video twice and can stick with the open source platform without worrying about which is better.

I only made 2 videos on Steem and it's on Dtube. I understand you must be very very pissed. I didn't know why I havent followed you before (it's not like we never talked, even in Steemfest2) but that's remedied.
I hope those who were duped by Dlive do follow your recommended steps.

Thanks for calling them on their bullshit.
There are so many slick, yet devious, marketers that have infested our ecosystem and we just need to be more discerning and not fall prey to the bells and whistles or the dog and pony shows.
I like you, @heimindanger. I appreciated Clean Trending and the stance you take against the circle jerking that is prevalent. With that being said, I would like to do my little part to support.
Going to start using Dtube again and am glad to support with the beneficiary rewards. Actually uploading a game stream now. 😊
Keep doing what you do!

DLive seemed fishy to me from the get-go and I have never used it. I won't miss them at all. It's a shame that Steemit Inc. delegated so much power to them without vetting them first.
I'm glad to hear the DTube has added live streaming capabilities. This is a good move.
Perhaps I'm misinformed but I heard that the code for DTube was procured from open source on Github but is now no longer open source. If this is correct why have you closed access to such a useful code?
There are many applications that this could be applied toward to further attract users and engage communities. If I'm mistaken I stand corrected, but if not why prevent others from having access to an open source code with so much utility? Would you care to enlighten us?
Also, are there plans to one day have DTube able to embed videos?

@dlive It was the platform that made me grow and I'm thankful to them, and Dtube is super centralized where it only rewards finger or his friends. Dtube Discarded to upload videos

DTube all the way for me, now. I made the mistake of logging into DLive with my steem account too, though. I think we all did. I never read the post, but when I actually viewed the Lyno web site, I was quite a bit confused. I never thought that they would actually do that. For all those who are pissing and moaning about videos disappearing, give @heimindanger time, and remember to use YouTube as a backup until the technology matures. That's what I do; I've got followers everywhere, unfortunately on centralized as well as decentralized services. I can't just abandon them in the name of decentralization.

All drama aside, I only uploaded to dlive once a few months ago. I find dtube to be a lot more enjoyable experience both as a video creator and consumer and I'm glad dtube "won" here on steem. Happy to hear your thoughts @heimindanger, keep on rockin' the blockchain!

I didn't know many of the facts you wrote about. Didn't know that you are the author of Dtube?! It's never too late to congrat you on such a good work! Bravo! 😉
Due to the way you wrote this article, with passion which awoked passion in me too, I somehow believe everything you wrote here!
Didn't even know that Dlive was centralized?! Fortunately, I never used it! 😤
Thanks for the facts you exposed!
Keep on the good steeming!

How likely could dtube use livepeer https://livepeer.org/ to decentralize live streaming? Or a fork of it for steem?

I personally never took to Dlive, no real reason why just choose DTube and stuck with it. It’s not perfect but I’m pretty sure most similar projects would take a while to iron out the creases and get on top form. DTube has always seen me right and been awesome with upvotes, I never expect but am always happy 😃
That all aside, the arguments and bad vibes ripping through the community I’ve come to love is really heart breaking to see. Can’t we all just get back to the real reason I hope we’re all here for, making great content?!??
DTube is the future of content creation (in my opinion)

@heimindanger ! Thank you for the post! I'm Totally support everything that you wrote.
The only thing I do not understand is why do you think it's a bad way to use the GraphQL backend for an application on STEEM?
I'm developing my application now (steem.mapala) and try to follow the "right way" as your project, but my applications need filtering which is not possible in the node api(GeoJSON). Will it really be bad to use an additional service that anyone can independently deploy with one command (Docker container), synchronize with any node and switch to it in the application?

I mostly use my feed to discover content lately, rarely go to the trending or hot page, and when i do, i am very cautious on trusting the stuff there, as most of the stuff on the trending page is busted with upvote bots... Of course this is a lesson taught with time, months ago i used to trust everything on the trending page blindly...

Totally agreed, especially the part that it was 0 fee which basically make everyone else looks bad because people do not realise how much it cost to run IPFS servers, just because they already loaded with money to pay for it. If they stayed in Steem at least whatever they bring would help Steem as a whole. What a dick move.
I never streamed or made video so I have used neither DLive or DTube. We did promote DLive as a way for game devs to use Steem blockchain to earn more. Looks like we would need to put something out to reverse our endorsement of Dlive.
