Yes it was a bummer, but i'm over it now - at least I have something to travel on, even if it's not my shiny one from the UK.
With regards to the apps, I guess we just have to try to get involved with one that has a nice delegation. I have been fortunate with utopian-io, and am aware it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Anyone can make a video though I guess :)
True, but D-Tube takes an additional 25 % and their votes seem to go to the same circle of favorites. So, the small fish gets even less from their tiny little payout...
Dlive is a bit better and more reliable too. I don't think that they have quite the same size delegation...

There's some info in this post regarding the 25% and the delegation size. The 25% is returned to the curators (via wallet sends), and dlive actually owns a little more SP :)
good to know :) thank you.
