Thanks @roger-that. It's great that you could take away something useful from my post. It has been tough on Steemit recently for a number of reasons. I see most of these problems as temporary. The potential is still what excites me. As soon as people start to realize that, the content creators and investors will start rolling in.
Also with YouTube restricting monetisation and the tight censorship, I believe many YouTubers are going to prefer Dtube or Dlive.
