Ok so I gave it a try with a video I put up today and I have some feedback. The only annoying thing I think I saw was that all of my tags were renamed to having dtube- in it.
I am perfectly fine with you mandating that maybe 3 tags be dtube- related but I need at least two normal dtube tags on my posts so that people who use steemit normally can find my posts.
The decentralized thing is silly honestly. It does less than zero for the end user. Nobody fucking cares.
The best thing to do is charge people a flat 30% of profits made on the video. And if their videos fail to meet standards then lock out content posting privileges until they pay the difference.
5 USD worth of SBD or Steem a month to store their videos is actually perfectly fine. Seriously, You can probably charge 10 bucks a month for the right to host videos and be perfectly fine even with the 30% cut on top of that.
Stop making this some complicated decentralized mess. You are going to need some degree of moderation on the content posted no matter what you do. I see right now that there is a damn game of thrones episode posted. You are going to be hit with some serious lawsuits very soon if you don't clamp down on shit like that whether its decentralized or not.
The content on dtube is hosted on IPFS which is a protocol similar to bittorent. You can't sue a protocol. Dtube.video is doing nothing illegal, they are not hosting any content.
Blockchain tech is going to reshape this world and turn the rules upside down, you better get used to it :-)
yeah, but that didn't stop governments from incarcerating PirateBay owners.
