There are a lot of people doing other stuff.. but they never make it to the Trending or Hot pages of DTube because.... .......  🥁.....

........DTube does not upvote them :D

Exactly what I'm thinking. Noone is gonna care about a plattform that is entirely meta-discussion

@bethwheatcraft I agree, we need to expand and support unique creators on @dtube and the account with the most power right now deciding what makes trending is @dtube. I just posted a video parodying some videos @dtube upvoted today. If they really want to support new creators they'd upvote this post... https://steemit.com/dtube/@antonioscore/9tr53lmm

Agreed wholeheartedly. I actually just posted an article that brings up this issue, as well as others. Check it out if you’re interested: https://steemit.com/steemit/@aws77/a-beginner-s-view-of-crypto-and-steemit-dtube

What you are saying is very true and this has been a reoccurring topic since 2016.  At first some of the large STEEM holders tried to reward stuff heavily that wasn't crypto related and some of that was good and some of it was so over weight on a few content creators that a lot of people just left the platform.   

One of the reasons that happens so much is because people subconsciously see that some of the top rewarded people are just talking about STEEM and DTube so then everyone else starts doing that as well. 

Then in the defense of anyone trying to curate on the platform or look for original content if people aren't talking about Steemit or DTube they sort of have this feeling that it is thrown up there by someone that is throwing it out to other platforms as well and it doesn't seem like they made as much effort to actually be apart of this community.   

This platform is having a hard time every escaping the situation you are talking about and it all goes back to a messed up distribution from the beginning.   Everyone on here in 2016 knows the situation and a lot of people just hope that people won't realize it or the problem will somehow go away but it won't entirely go away.

This is so true! All i'm seeing on d.tube is people talking about platform itself. I'm new here and i'm not saying this is something bad, but we really do need quality content. Something we can share on social networks... I'm thinking about starting a music channel, do you think that's a good idea to spread steem around mainstream social networks?

I agree 100% with you bethwheatcraft. I'm still a noob and just learning the ropes. I can't wait to "unleash my creativity upon Dtube"! :-) Thanks for all your great vids!

True dat!

Hi Beth, I'm glad you're out here posting. I really want to try and stake out a living with Crypto. I also struggled with an answer on whether or not I saddle with the Steem platform or split my audience to Patreon and YouTube. 

This tells me that the Steem community at-large is a great loving crowd who really care about profitting off their own work.

Just some friendly advice, as much as you talk about wanting to raise the bar for DTube keep in mind that numerous "selfie" vlogs will distract from your larger video installment.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing your videos and stories. :)

Howdy we have made the move from you tube to d tube and could not agree with you more on this video  as we are still learning the ropes on steemit 

I cant say it enough. I want to see other stuff besides crypto, Dtube and Steem videos. I dont really care if my videos get any attention, but I would like to come here and find something besides the same old shit. Which is why I like your stuff. It is not always sucking Dtube stick.

Great message!  I’m new to DTube and looking forward to uploading videos. Upvoted for you 

I’m more interested in looking in New Videos. They have more varieties than the trending or hot videos. Same creators on trending all the time. What’s up with that ?

The thing is, DTube has some issues on the desktop mode, on my phone it works perfect, but when I try to upload something from my laptopt it s impossinle..I hope the issue will be fix soon...but as a platform I like DTube more than Dlive.

Yeah, D.tube is full of d.tube hype, people should stop it and do other stuff.
Maybe most of popular people are getting upvotes and lots of money because it is the only thing that they can do to attract others.
Videos about d.tube are awarded by dtube channel, it means a money.
That's my opinions about that topic 🙂

ok but I just have one question.....what is dtube?

Well I feel like you just said in the video, I registered my steemit yesterday. Today I uploaded my first video on dtube, and I don't really know how to show it to more people. I mean should I only put the right tags and share it on my steemit blog? Should I just keep my fingers crossed that someone will upvote my video and it will get to hot videos or can I do anything more to spread the message? :D 

The irony is....you're right...and this is a video about Dtube. I'm still working on a niche for myself. I have to create new content I don't know enough to be helpful with this platform, but I'm learning by watching people like you. 😀 thanks for sharing.

Your background looks so nice. I totally agree with you here. One thing that has changed my steemit and dtube experience is ginabot. I can finally get directly to the content I want to see. I found the artists, the unschoolers, and the quality content curators. 

The problem with steemit is that it's freaking hard to use. It's not user friendly, you have to really want to make it work. I've been uploading to dtube daily and the upload fails often. It takes forever and then I don't know if I'll even be able to post. How do you do it with longer videos? All of my videos are under 5 minutes and it's a complete pain in the ass.

Thank you Jesus christ

I agree with this.  I think part of it has to do with DTube giving their upvote to these types of videos, and with how much money it's worth, it makes sense to make video like that.  There is some shareable content on here, but not nearly as much as their should be.

How can I down vote ur post? So ignorant. No option on my mobile device... u should b happy I have no power with my votes.

Nice Video ! @bethwheatcraft

Thank you!!! You're one of the first people with a good following who I've seen touch on this. DTube as it stands is just swamped by vlogs that for the lack of a better word, pander, to a crowd that already exists. I've seen some interesting music channels that seem promising, and gaming could definitely lead to a big active community too. Hopefully my crappy videos might get better and I can throw my stuff in the ring, but it's definitely hard to compete with the platform as is, flooded with vlogs.

Have no idea what the difference is in uploading a Dtube video and a video on steemit page?
