There has to be a balance. Dtube and Steemit needs to keep their servers running, and earn a profit. 25% may seem like much, but there has to be a level of effort users like myself must put in to sustain that balance.

I do believe Dtube can succeed, more people just need access to it. The youtube tyranny can't continue forever, they will soon get the competition they so rightfully deserve. I'm not saying that youtube needs to disappear, but because they are so powerful they can basically get away with murder against their community. Thats where I draw the line, and realize that Dtube is indeed a necessity!!!
