That's true, d.tube came out a long time ago :)
Hive-Tube is new, less than a year old actually and already uses P2P streaming, remote storage, automated imports with Tor, incentivized user participation without any custom coins, federated content to thousands of other websites, automated beneficiaries system, and a lot more.
I like d.tube too, don't get me wrong, but activitypub protocol (in Hive-Tube) really raised the bar imo.
I hope Hive Tube will be better. Because with D.Tube in all honesty I can't really use it, because of these defects of putting videos that don't work anymore or that I sometimes can't load a video. When will Hive Tube be live ?
Yeah, deleting people's videos is no way to get long term user retention imo. Also, these days ya really need to leverage P2P technology, with remote storage and transcoding, etc. Be unstoppable.
Maybe someone should show them Hive-Tube. I don't have any contacts over there unfortunately. I'd be honored to work with them and upgrade their site and backend so that they can leverage all the things that Hive-Tube uses.
Hive-Tube is already live, so anyone who wants to install it on their server can do so. Instructions are shown at the bottom of this page:
https://Hive-Tube.com
Yes the site is online, but I only see scriptures. I meant online as we can see an account login and put video and they automatically add in our Hive blog, like D.Tube
Yes at the moment I haven't found a Hive blockchain video server that keep videos like Youtube. And the difficulty of reading on a mobile phone, among the upload bugs that sometimes don't work with all the videos you want to put on the network.
These guys do not let the public upload any videos onto their site, but you can login with your Hive username and upvote, tip and comment. They use the Hive-Tube plugin:

When I read the conditions of this site, they talk about https://dollarvigilante.com
Outside, looking at this site, I am not at all a fan of this kind of character, on the contrary I fled this kind of psychology which he conveys on his site. :(
Have you tried 3speak.tv? They allow just about everyone to post there. Also uses Hive :)
I didn't know, I'll see. Thanks. 😉
