@heimindanger, creator of DTube, one of Steemit's most popular channels, has joined the .TUBE Top Level Domain as a crew member. In exchange for accepting to become one of our first ambassadors, the .TUBE registry contributed to his cause the valuable domain name D.tube.
Together, the .TUBE registry and D.Tube interacting on the Steemit platform aim to take on YouTube and become a viable alternative to that platform by allowing the creation of video channels populated by videos uploaded on IPFS and shared on the immutable STEEM Blockchain, while earning cryptocurrency doing it. Adding a powerful .TUBE domain name to the D.Tube experimental web application creates a powerful video channel that breaks many of the barriers that YouTube imposes on its creators.
@Livedottube got the .TUBE domain termination after a three year battle against Google/Youtube, who wanted this asset to corner further the online video market. As owners of the TUBE brand, we could not allow YouTube to privatize this popular term which has become the worldwide slang for online video, as demonstrated by thousands of sites around the globe who use the term TUBE to name their video channels.
Sites like Rutube, KinderTube, GodTube, EllenTube. Different cultures, different languages, different countries, different terminations, different subjects, one thing in common, they are all video oriented sites.
Video is now the killer format on the internet; according to Cisco, by next year, over 80% of all internet traffic will be video and .TUBE together with DTube on the Steemit platform are positioned like no other to become a viable alternative to YouTube. The most valuable asset that YouTube has are the content creators that populate their site, nevertheless, they are facing more and more hurdles on the platform. A big exodus is now inevitable and D.Tube stands to gain a sizable market share of the online video market.
It’s about time to leave behind the days where creators of popular content on media sites can’t even customize their own profile; where they get censored by robots and algorithms and silenced for the wrong reasons; where creators cannot monetize their own content and have to wait for checks that get smaller and smaller.
With a .tube domain name, you have full creative control over your content and design and user experience. You have full creative control over your brand. You have full ownership of your users and metrics. Your profile will no longer look and act like everyone else’s, you hold the reigns! With the D.Tube platform, you will be able to share your videos without censorship and make money of every click. You have full control over your monetization, you hold the reigns! That’s why users already have wonderful reviews for .tube. This is a post from d.tube, one of our most popular domains and one of our partners in starting the .tube revolution.
“When I learned that .TUBE domains were available, I contacted the folks at @livedottube, the company behind the .TUBE domain name extension. They understood my vision and decided to support my efforts with this great domain name. D.Tube was contributed to me for hosting the DTube project and it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. I can now proudly say to my nerd friends that I own a 1-letter domain name, one that is faster to type and memorize, and one that will increase exponentially the likelihood of success of our community”.
