Quick video on YouTube's controversial Partner Program... and the alternative that is dTube
Turning the screw
So I was reading that YouTube is tightening up the rules on what content can run ads. Not only do you need to have 10k lifetime views on your channel. You also need 4k hours of watched time on your video (in the preceding 12 months) and 1000 subscribers, for the 'privilege' of having crappy ads run on your content.
Broken model
These new thresholds elude to the fact that the existing ad based revenue model is broken. Fundamentally it is too susceptible to sybil attacks. Armies computer bots pretending to be humans viewing content.
Imbalance of power
Also the interests of business is outweighing and dictating the creative process. Anyone else notice how we're being subjected to more and more long-winded ad ridden videos?
dTube, the people's tube
However there are alternatives to Youtube that allow content creators to monetise their videos. Like dTube, that uses the Steem blockchain and stakeweighed voting to reward content creators with the STEEM cryptocurrency which they can trade for bitcoin and then their local currency. Or better will use STEEM to buy goods and pay for services.
Tokenisation
While social media sites like Youtube are trying to consolidate and centralise their power further, what they fail to realise is that cryptocurrencies are likely to decentralise power through the tokenisation of the internet.
Initiatives like Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) will enable (for example) YouTubers to create their own token to circulate around their community and exchange with others. The trick will be finding inventice ways to create value around these tokens however once that nut is cracked we will look back and laugh at days like today when corporations like Youtube dictated the terms on which we could create value for our creativr endeavours.

Its only a matter of time before more YouTubers discover d.tube and the potential it has. The development has been moving along very well and that's great to see.. I think right now they are really waiting for the implementation of SMTs into the Steem blockchain. SMTs will allow them to do all kinds of things that are still not possible right now. I am really looking forward to exploring the possibilities that SMTs hold for all of us on this blockchain.

Agreed - I have a friend who's an established stand up comic and creates a variety of high quality comedy content and I've been trying to get him to migrate it over piecemeal to dtube while working on new OC and releasing it on a first on Steemit/dtube basis. It's funny to me how hesitant he is - but I'm gonna keep on him about it. For the video content creator there's zero downside - worst case you're just doubling your exposure.

Yeah, I feel like for 'right now' it's best to post to youtube then embed to a Steemit post, so you can potentially double dip on the monetisation, without paying the DTube author fee, but there'll ultimately be this tipping point where enough users are regularly hitting up DTube for more video content that it will be worthwhile just to post to that platform.
Definitely seems like the team behind Dtube are going to be able to tackle any challenges that could threaten their growth.

I'm sorry to drop this in a comment section of someone else's blog but steemit doesn't have an official chat. I'll keep this quick. I'm trying to increase the amount of humorous content on steemit. It is the most popular tag on reddit and most other social media. There is a small group of very funny people who post a lot of really quick original memes and gifs. I was rewarding them as much as I could. I lost my delegation and I'm looking to keep the project going. I do a daily post called "What's so funny?" including all of the funniest content I find that day. If you have any interest in helping this to grow, please check out my blog and see if it makes you laugh and if you'd like to see it continue. If you would, I could use some delegation to help encourage them to keep going and to find more authors.
I'm on steemit chat if you are interested in chatting.
If not, thank you for your time.

Dtube is a great idea, and has been making great strides, but they won't break through, unless some major performance issues take place, and some basic features (which youtube has) come to fruition.
Dtube runs terrible on any OS running Safari. Fails constantly, so unless you specifically open another browser to upload content, it's a pain. Also the performance is very lackluster; videos take forever to load, or don't load at all.
Another main feature holding Dtube back; lack of proper imbedding. You end up with a minnature thumbnail that people don't even know to click, and then it RE-DIRECTS. Most people don't want to leave the site in which they are browsing. A lack of functioning embedded player, I think, would be the first thing they come out with in the next update. Maybe they are doing this to cut down bandwidth cost.
I fully support Dtube, but it has a long way to go, and hopefully it gets there.

I think it's important that we all support Dtube, so that it can get to its "final form". I think the concept is great, but also still rather young. So of course they need people to test the service in order to work on the functionality and other aspects of it.
I basically see it just as steemit: It is a beta. It is like testing out a game and reporting things that you think are missing or reporting bugs (for example the problem with the embedded player you mentioned). I think that our feedback is the most valuable for the developers.
And as of now I think they will take into account what we say. Because they care, or at least that is how I see it.

I'm glad you have thought about this more that a moment. I am of course in steem and wish to promote it as we all benefit from building our community.
That said dtube does have some massive competition, Google has the best infrastructure, as much as we love this software it needs to be run on someone's computers. While they have global distribution of deticated server facilities and engineering teams.
Steem has to also build these kinds of relationships between people in order to compete with the Salery's corporations can offer. I think D.tube would have to pay for servers. IPFS is awesome but it's not quite at the same scale as YouTube.
While their demonetization is going to drive their demise we still have so far to go, I hope to contribute to the network by purchaseingg computers and earning crypto to host services! Like a good that lays golden eggs! Though a considerable investment it could eventually provide enough to provide for yourself and others too!

The more youtube creates policies that punish creators the bigger opportunity is created for those on Steem. Youtube makes it seem like they are giving you some gift by allowing you to monetize as if they aren't keeping a majority of the proceeds.
Steem and dTube are revolutionary and are returning the power of creating content to the creators. Thank you for the information and your opinion on this matter. We need more people like you to help spread the word of Steem and dTube.

There is still one thing about DTube that few users are paying attention to. DTube reward system. While after (which is quite impossible for most content creators to reach 10k lifetime views on their YouTube channel plus 4k hours of watched time on their video (in the preceding 12 months) and still a 1000 subscribers) after reaching that milestones the content creator is able to monetize forever as it's content get more and more views. On DTube by the present reward system after 30 days, it does not matter how many more people watch your videos, you will never get paid again.

Good point however it would be good to analysis the 'long tail' on Youtube videos and see just how much comes from views in the first week and how much revenue is generated from later views.
I do think that the rewards system will heavily dictate the type of content uploaded to dTube. E.g. I can see it being a popular place for Topical videos not so popular for things like music videos.

This is likely less to do with Logan Paul, and more to due with the previous adpocalypse issues that have occurred in the past year. Primarily due to advertisers complaining that their content was served next to controversial or offensive content in my opinion.

Right on man! I'm in the screwed category. I'm not a bad actor. I only made gaming videos and I earned less than $100 year. I don't see why they couldn't continue to pay it. I have my own take on the whole mess everyone can read about @ https://steemit.com/youtube/@kreezxil/bye-bye-youtube

I woke up to that message this morning :)
I wasn't surprised to be honest. YouTube has been heading that direction for a while now. It's all about the big players and celebrities now. The user base that built the platform are not valued as much any more.
Let's hope DTube stays 'fair' ;)

Dtube is the new way! But I hope people who are in it for creating content and not for the money still decide to post to Youtube because we could really reclaim it within the community if we wanted to. Youtube would be nothing without its smaller content creators

I am thankful for a platform like Dtube, Im sure there will be arguments over censorship and sensitive content. I think if one wants to not see disturbing things they should turn on their own filters that filter unwanted content out. Does that exist yet (if not its a bomb idea for Devs)? the internet is the best way to share the human story and it should not be censored but filtered. I mean come on it not like people stop making disturbing/nsfw content they will just find another avenue. I look forward to seeing dtube grow and see how this experiment in decentralization works in the long run. Im not sure Steemit or Dtube will be sustainable for 10-15+ years but then again I am not an expert on the technology yet so idk (but i hope im wrong).

What YouTube is doing with all the restrictions is completely awful for all the people that are trying to earn some sort of income making videos on YouTube. They are basically dooming themselves in the long run. While DTube is growing rapidly, YouTube doesn't seem to care about the users at all. It's time people open their eyes and come to hangout in the blockchain!

This is literally youtubes way of saying 'hey you're a small youtuber, you mean nothing to us. I am affected by this and yeah I dont make a lot of money on youtube. And i'm ok with that. Why this has gotten me down so much is because when youre video isnt monitised, youtube suggest or recommend your videos as easy, affecting views. this is what upsets me and really is beginning to push me away completely from youtube.

Not much of a vlog person, although the amount of YouTube I do consume is ridiculous, mainly for educational purposes. At least there are options now to look nowadays. Never really picked up the blog/vlog thing as I was too busy with the real world. May reconsider that stance assuming I have something great and of value to share with the world lol.

I like DTube because DTube also stores your watched videos in order to display the 'Watch Again' category. Just like YouTube does it. You can notice that post rewards won't show for the Watch Again category, as these rewards can change at any point in time and it would be impossible to trust the data we stored a while back ago.

I have been a Youtube partner for 8 years and very soon it is going to end. I received an email from Youtube Creators stating that my channel is no longer eligible for monetization because it doesn’t meet the new threshold of 4,000 hours of watch time within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers. Anyway, I was not so active there. I uploaded about 40 slideshow videos and some of them got more than 50k views. But earned less than 1 USD a video. I am sure Youtube will use my videos to run their ads.
I also tried Dailymotion but I am not satisfied with the result.

Been working with other content creators in my univeristy and online and brought over a Youtuber from the platform to Dtube who is verified and is on a partnership contract. It is difficult at first to tell youtubers that there is a way to monetize content without these hoops to jump through but in time they always come around!

The more I am learning about Dtube the more I am liking the alternative. Is sad one person can ruin it for everyone else but when the government comes in and says, " stop doing this or we will shut your billion dollar operation down,".....Its easy to say " the sold out or quit on the people" But we forget that is not our operation, and that is not our billions dollars. I am glad I dont have to made those decisions anymore and maybe of more people looked at it that way they were understand what corporations are up against! Big Brother wins. 99.99 percent of the time!

Die ganze Sache ist ein bischen verzwickt, denn einerseits, kann man es verstehen, dass YouTube solche Schritte einleitete doch andererseits sind die 1k Abbos eine Blockade, die man nicht einfach brechen kann, wenn ein User ein Video schaut, hat man eine bestimmte Watchtime, abbonieren ist freiwillig und daher wahrscheinlich das größere Problem um in das Partnerprogramm zu kommen. dTube ist eine gute alternative mit leider einen viel zu kleinen Publikum, welches YouTube eben bietet . Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn dTube mit seiner schönen Art etwas wieder zu bekommen, wachsen würde oder YouTube seine Werbe Politik ändern würde....

I was expecting to be monetized on Youtube this week, and just when I reached 10,000 views, they changed the rules! lol I'm choosing to look at it as the message from the gods. It's better to look forward into the future than try to catch up with something that's definitely going out of style. Youtube and Facebook are Myspaces of tomorrow :)) - IMHO

Remember when Youtube was not yet owned by Google?
When I look at my music playlist today tgere are gaping holes of atuff deleted because of copyright. And now with this fake morality police and politicized enforcing of rules they have sealed their own fate. What makes Youtube great is the content and the amount of users. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THEY CAN'T MOVE.

So basically Youtube is killing itself by ensuring talented people have no incentive to begin producing content on their platform unless they already have an audience. I guess it also takes incentive away from bad content creators, but will any good ones want to take a risk with them?
