I can see how some people would be upset about the DTube situation as well. I have posted quite a few videos up there and I wasn't getting a lot of love on there but what it seemed like is that they were really focusing a lot of what appeared to be original content made for the DTube platform. They have a big issue with imposters posting other people's content from YouTube pretending they are that person so I understand it to a point.
I did get a couple of upvotes from DTube which I was happy about but yeah when I see voting power above 95% for those platforms who have been delegated power it is an issue. If need be they should select a couple of trusted Steemians with high reputation to curate real content for them.
I want to get things set up to post on DLive. They have been voting a lot more. I tried to get OBS setup to do it but I had an issue doing it. I really want to get it set up so that I can just go live on there from my phone like I can on YouTube.
Yeah me too! I have an account on here for my non profit, and we really want to live stream our shows and performances. Once they make it a little more user friendly, that should be possible! And it's easy to forget that we are still at the very fledgling stages on a lot of these platforms, so I try to be as understanding as possible, but that being said, every day, more platforms are popping up, and they will have learned what Steemit did wrong, and try to build a bigger better platform. If Steemit wants to be the Facebook and not the Myspace of the crypto multi-space, then they have to start listening to their users. These aren't huge changes they have to make, but when the mega SP holders themselves are the ones holding Steem back from a higher Weiss rating, then it's time to potentially step back and try to patch some of the problems up.
It has been interesting that no one has really came in and made a competitive platform to this. We were talking about the competition back in mid 2016. They all went down dead ends and didn't come up with anything for the most part.
Yeah the distribution from the beginning really caused a problem but the voting curve was made it worse. It is way better now than it was.
I imagine it will always improve! And there were a lot of "Friendsters" before Facebook came up on MySpace and brought a can of whoop-ass. Haha. It will be interesting to see what happens. Though, if I continue to invest time and money into Steem, I obviously hope that it sticks around! :)
I'm confident that it will always be here to some capacity. Even when there are pullbacks there might only be 1000 people posting ...etc. But it keeps going and then when things surge that is when account values go way up . That is my thinking. It goes in waves and as long as you end up with enough power and play your cards right it will continue to be here
