Yeah but the question is that... Why would a decentralised video platform is sponsoring a centralised video award ceremony???

Targeted marketing to those most likely to use their service.

You go where your potential customers are.

And we all know the only thing decentralized with any "d" streaming service is decentralized in payment only.

But tell me which big and established youtubers would livestream in a platform where they can't make any money out of it???

I can ask the same of why they are not flocking to dtube.

Getting your name out there in a mainstream market isnt a bad idea. Steem could use some marketing themselves.

Why would anyone come to dtube or any of the other dapps when there are already established ones?

The answer is it isnt just for the big names. The "whales" of youtube represent 1% of content producers.

Anyone that is less than a big fish in a big pond can get traction in a smaller pond.

The same argument that you have with why anyone would go to dlive is similar to the question why they would come to steemit, dtube, vimm, etc.

Hummm okay I get it. But I guess the reason big names are not joining a Blockchain like steem right now it is because they are not ready to gave up and open hands to all that centralised contracts and sponsorship opportunities that probably wouldn't come as often if they associate themselves with a decentralised platform where all the numbers and results are visible to the whole world.

Im not talking about those that have youtube exclusive content where they are contractually obligated to only stream or make videos for youtube... Im talking everyone else.

That being said, they arent moving because they still think they can make it or they dont even know about other options.

ahem hence the reason for marketing.

We can only get so far only appealing to whales on this platform. Reall success is going to come from not only bringing people IN but promoting your work on other platforms.

If I only did dtube and refused to make content elsewhere how can I be expected to grow outside of the community?

Grow or die.

Yeah and I am a very strong believer, specially in that stage that we need to keep spreading the word everywhere else. Don't take me wrong.

But there are ways and ways to do it.

So if you are a decentralised platform and 99% of your main core values are totally different from the centralised platforms for me that's where this partnership got so confused.
