Alexa rankings don't lie! Nothing but a decline for the past 6 months.
PATHETIC!!!
I'd assume rankings are decreasing because the site is an amateur-built piece of shit that barely works with major buffer and upload issues.
d.tube going down the shitter...

What ever the numbers are, I think this is just a hit piece because of your current feud with @hemindanger. @dtube has helped me grow on Steemit more than any other dapp here, period. It has provided the opportunity to make a living within this flawed ecosystem and to them I appreciate it.
Sure @dtube has its issues but do does everything here when you hold the magnifying glass to it. @dtube deserves every penny of @ned delegation. It has brought so many people together and has pulled some out of poverty.
"has helped me grow on Steemit more than any other dapp here, period"
Last time I checked you cannot run dapps on the steem chain...
@walden
You didnt look very hard. Just off of the top of my head:
#dlux-io
#steemmonsters
#dpoll
#share2steem
#steemhunt
#actifit
The Steem chain is focussing on Dapp development and third party onboarding ofcnew users. It is part of the reason behind HF20.
The Steem chain is an excellent platform for Dapps - quick transactions and cheap fees.
The number of new developers working on Dapps here is exploding, and so to will the user base.
None of these are DApps. Do you even know what a DApp is?
These numbers are awful and its all true. See this link. As much as I want DTube to succeed, there is no doubt that it's struggling. I have used DTube right from the beginning, mostly for the reason that it is on the Steem blockchain and I've had many issues with YouTube. After DLive left, DTube should be soaring but its not. Videos older than a few months no longer work. I've been sharing links to people with videos that don't work. I am very glad I have a YouTube alternative for all my videos. DTube also appears to upvote the same users time and time again. Check this out.
Over 16 days just an additional 108 accounts upvoted. See that nice brown chunk, that's 1.7% of the upvotes going to the @reseller. No wonder you're happy with DTube.
DTube previously took a 25% beneficiary cut from payouts and redistributed most of it to curators. It was so badly advertised hardly anyone knew about it. I'm not willing to give up on DTube yet but it seriously needs to get its shit together.
Appears it's fairing better than Steemit....DTube has certainly been a net positive for me and my Steem experience. It's not without issues like all developments, but certainly it has helped me grow and improve as a creator more than any other dApp that is or has been here. I've had a good 10 months or so creating on there, appreciate the followers that watch and enjoy my stuff. I'd say @ned did exactly the right thing ;)
Nice feud you and Heim have going on though.
Steemit.com's traffic directly follows the price of Steem, which in turn closely follows the price of Bitcoin.
That correlation is very interesting. Why would that be? It seems to me that people are running behind the facts. When price goes up everyone want to be part of it, when price goes down they abandon it.
Wow, are people really that easily influenced by sentiment? ...
I think Steem changes in relation to bitcoin because of larger buyers buying/selling using bots as part of portfolios. The relation of posting rate to token value shows that people are using the platform to make money and the lack of social feature development means that in the market place Steem sites are not competitive on their own merit in that regard. People need to be motivated to use the sites with or without rewards, otherwise they will just post elsewhere or do other things when the token value is low and they can be rewarded for their time more effectively elsewhere. That's my opinion anyway!
Dropping 7,283 places is better than 956. I don't think so. I think you might be biased because you are on the DTube upvote list.
tbf im p sure all of steem has been in decline.
also amateur-built crappy platforms are kinda the base for better platforms in the future
Pretty idiotic post; how is a crypto based project supposed to hold a steady growth when literally everything around it drops in value? Also, using bidbots to shit talk is pretty disgusting, but I assume otherwise the post would be on 1 or 2 dollars so nice one
Please do not feed the trolls. This berniesanders account is clearly a troll. Dtube has a massive rise to a a high US and World ranked website and then there is some fall off? Earth shattering news. Are you now going to say the same thing about Steemit because it fell as well?
Humm I wonder who sent the thedelegator and abusereports to downvote my recent comments and content. Could it be a troll? Yeah I think so. How dare I speak out.
Surely Dtube has uploading and buffering issue but drop in ranking is probably due to drop in interest in crypto from general public.
I hope when prices rise Dtube guys can afford better servers to service the streaming community.
Yeah i thought that as well. @dtube must have massive problems with servers due to being crypto based. Im pretty positive that its super hard finding someone to host that will take crypto as payment. Maybe witnesses could take it upon themselves?

agreed Bernie you are right there are many bugs it was too much lagya seriously i don't like it for the first time..
yea, it sucks!
now you can debate on how it is going to be the number 1 site in the universe but that won't change it is a web cover with an outdated script under it
I've been getting an unknown error every time I try to upload for like a month. :(
@heimindanger, why does your site suck so bad? This user hasn't been able to upload for "like a month".
Same here ..
I didn't even realize I could log in without Steem Connect! Ok, I will try that next time, thanks.
Seriously, I do not know why we bother GIVING Dtube our money and shit . I complain about it all the time and it seems 50/50 love/hate. Shame on it's "developers" for charging us for sub par platform. This is why I have to use the shithole of YT as my go between, STILL. FFS!
Yea, pretty sad @ned is wasting delegation on this shit site.
Dude, people need to take it down or the developer needs to seriously make adjustments that fix it I mean it’s past time that someone does something to fix it. Websites been on here for a long time, it’s a really shitty site.

Not only does it have major upload issues but watching videos is often a pain in the ass as well.
Posted using Partiko Android
Yeah. I mean l don't want to take sides but Dtube, seriously wtf? I especially hate it when I want to see previous older videos and they don't play. Like deleted or something. What's up? No bandwidth? It's lame when you can only see vids 2 weeks old and not older.
I tried uploading a video once and it was like a 1 minute one it took me 6 tries over 2 days and I was like this isn’t worth my time
Also the only reason people dTube is because why create a good post when you can make a shitty video and get a 30 dollar upvote!

My videos never upload to d.tube, and I just end up adding my Youtube video link. I wish steemit would incorporate drag and drop videos like we have with Images. Also live streaming would be great, because could you imagine going to the trending page and always seeing people live right on Steemit.. It might not feel so dead sometimes on here 🙁
I like the site... when it works 1/20 times I try to upload.
come on @dtube try to fix all your issues and avoid or don't shut down it we are supporting you :)
with other projects like viuly, and Bit.Tube DTube is struggling...
Haha your too black!
Uh, what?
Also, it's "you're".
nice correction: p
@berniesanders are you positive that you corrected the right word? I mean the sentence is a complete non sequitur regardless.
Maybe he was trying to insinuate that you are a racist slave owner and meant to say, "Haha your two blacks".
🤔
DTube is a horrible disappointment. I believe DTube has singlehandedly delayed and damaged the Steemit community as a whole. A properly-working blockchain video website (that doesn't delete your uploads 2 weeks later) is absolutely VITAL if Steemit is hoping to go anywhere, and compete with mainstream social media. I sent SO many people to DTube over the past couple years. I'm embarrassed to have done so, and myself have returned to YouTube, something I dreaded doing but had no choice. What a shame!
It's Steem community-based not Steemit
If you meant it's a "Steem-based community", yes, thank you for the correction!
hello @transisto can you please tell me why are you boosting this shit with a big amount? https://steemit.com/funny/@steem.lol/elizabeth-pokahontas-warren
@drutter you are correct - but there is nothing stopping other developers from competing with DTube if they believe that they can do it better.
I think that we are about to see an explosion in the number of developers working on Dapps on the Steem chain. Perhaps we will see some competition soon.
Yes, I hope so. Some open and free competition would be a healthy thing.
No one is going to migrate from youtube to a site where your videos stop making rewards in a week. I moved to bit.tube where you get tube coins every view, forever.
What blockchain is bit.tube based on?

What about http://Bitchute.com and http://Real.Video and http://Minds.com and http://Gab.ai which are websites which you can upvote videos to? Why not upload to them?
Better question: Why upload to them?
Why upload to YouTube?
To reach my 8000 subscribers. I've been uploading to YouTube for over a decade.
Why do you ask?
My question is related to your question. I'm answering your question with a question. You asked me about the other places. So, I folded the question back into the source, which is YouTube. If you're expanding from YouTube to Dtube, then why not also expand to the other websites that I already mentioned as well, places like Dlive, Bitchute, Minds, Gab, Real Video, and not only Dtube, is the question I was asking which goes to you and to me and to everybody. Upvoted. Thanks.
TBH, Dtube sucks. needs a do over. can't stand it
yeah what could say bear market
Oh, and... !popcorn
It's how hard it is to upload.
Posted using Partiko Android
It's pathetic, what "developer" can't provide decent upload functionality?
Yet charges you 25% bene for deleting your video some days later.

Yo simplemente me cansé de intentar subir 1 video. Ni modo que lastima.
You got that right
There aren't many good creators on there. And some deliberately choose to not put any effort into their content. They just use it as an easy way to earn crypto.
Are we talking about the same thing? I've never found DTube an effortless or easy way to high payouts. If it's so easy, why isn't everyone doing it?
I guess it depends on your definition of low effort. And after looking at your profile, I don't see any DTube videos. So I suppose you haven't tried much in recent weeks.
excelente
Sad.

Frankly, this is my concern with Steemit. Reliability and usability is important not just for keeping users, but attracting new ones, and I've seen some pretty serious issues. Never really used D-Tube extensively though, so I can't really attest to whether or not the issues exist as described.

I really like DTube and when I registered to Steem this was my main target but after time I learned that DTube isn't Gamers friendly, I didn't felt that DTube likes gaming content and also this problem with lifetime of videos.
Dtube is great for vlogs and boring content like: 'Don't be jealous" made by few great content creators which is good, and then made by 1000 other people because they will get fat upvote and after one month who cares? Or vlogs how your day was, especially when your day was nothing or "I went to the shop, and then to the work GIBME UPVOTES".
Last time someone ( I don't wanna tell who) told me that I can post video to DTube to GET UPVOTES especially fat ones, and in description I can post mirror link to same video at YT, even better because of 1080p and there video will be forever.
I agree with that and I'm preparing few videos, but it made me sad, I don't wanna post my work ONLY for upvotes I wanna build community around me and after months they have to watch this videos on YT, so for what reason I need DTube? I wanna use DTube but DTube only. At current state it's too problematic :(
I don't wanna post let's plays, for that I have greate @Vimm and I stream there games, I wanna post reviews for games etc. Let's say there is new game, and you don't care about it right now, I did video and I showed my opinon, but after few months you wanna buy it because it's cheap now but you wanna check opinions about this game and you wanna check it on DTube but there is no video anymore so you have to go to YT to find reviews and by spending time on YT instead DTube you support YT and we don't wanna that right? We wanna support Dtube but it's hard. My friend don't watch DTube because he have his gaming niche and he told me that on DTube there is no content for him.
I hope in future DTube will be much much better than now, then we can compare YT and DT together.
Please @heimindanger I believe that you can do it!
Congratulations @berniesanders!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
I don't know what kind of shitty internet do you have people but I didn't have major buffering issues in months. I never tried to upload anything but some creators did complained about d.tube uploader in their videos so I would assume that might be an issue worth looking at but buffering nah.
What I would suggest to d.tube staff is to write or even better record video tutorial for creators about how to set hosting of their own videos if they wish to have them active for longer than is the provided by d.tube.
I do not know if d.tube has any other problems, but I know that I would not even register on steemit.com if it wasn't for d.tube because I wanted to give a like and comment on a one particular video . Rewards this, rewards that... I do not give a flying fuck. I used youtube for over 10 years and I never expected nor did I received any reward of any kind ever so why would I expect any from d.tube?
D.tube is imho loosing visits (Alexa) due to poor content quality. It is just endless slurry of crypto stuff, advice, facebook-ish "I ate delicious bananas today so give me a like" vlogs and shit like that but there is some good stuff like "2 minutes with the farmer" worth my time. However Bitchute is eating the cake as main youtube alternative imho mainly because of the content there being just better.
peace
Aww does someone have a sore life because they don't have a phone with service fast enough to upload on #dtube??? XD
Are you trying to have your rep killed rendering your posts/comments invisible?
Just finish your daily jerk off now you have to keep the thread going?
nice graphic layout
Maybe you should add a little disclaimer that you work for DTube? Your comment appears as if you are trying to save your own interests. A little more explanation about the concerns raised in Bernie's post would have been better.
@heimindanger is a homophobe, remind him it's 2018 and people are people.
Would you believe anyone who calls someone else a "fag" in a derogatory way?
I don’t care about the context, using that term is never appropriate. Go fuck yourself bigot.
Next time I will include the link, BOTH of them.
Homophobe trash.
I agree that there are a lot of issues with D-tube. A year ago everyone was trying to compare it with Youtube. But now nobody cares and we rarely see something positive about it.
A lot of Steemins quit it because It is not user friendly and very heavy most of the time when watching a video.
The developer should take it soo serious and fix all these issues or else I don't think It is going anywhere ahead, except being neglected and shut down like D-Live.
I don't think d-live shutdown but they are migrating to another blockchain for their better..
DLive wasn’t neglected or shut down, it moved over to a different blockchain which is why there is no more site of it on Steem.

Instead of blowing hot air like you always do Bernie, how about putting some money where your mouth is? How much would you like to wager that Dtube will be a top 10K website before Q2 of next year?
Based on the main dev trolling, calling people faggots and offending people nearly every day, I think it seems unlikely.
Based on the site barely working, it seems unlikely...
I sure hope it does though. I don't like him, but I'm hoping he pulls his head out and focuses. He has a great opportunity.
Oooh this is good!! A homophobe too eh???
@whatsup thanks for pointing out that @heimindanger likes to throw around terms like "faggot" - what a great guy...
Blowing hot air? Look at the comments moron, the site is a piece of shit.
Like the ones you censored?
That comment was pretty idiotic itself. Yeah, I am talking about you @dailydogger. Growth of a project isn't pegged to the bear market.
The following two websites / projects are where I lurk around the most these days. I was a top 10 contributor in musing during its early days when it didn't have any delegation from Steem Inc nor had any proper funding source.
I supported trybe despite the fact that the team screwed up pretty big during their airdrop. Both of these projects are moving pretty smoothly. Their content quality have improved significantly and the developers constantly make changes to make improvements.
I can't say the same for d.tube. I have come across d.tube several times in the past few months and I didn't notice any changes / improvements regarding content quality or the main website. It's SLOW, filled with low quality paid promotions or "advice" videos by Jerry Banfield 2.0 (@joeparys). @heimindanger
You should probably learn what censorship is. Turd.
Flagging != Censorship
It's much easier to earn on @dtube than YouTube @berniesanders I actually recommended it at a Bloggers & Vloggers workshop I was speaking at here in Davao City, Philippines (today).
The recommendation I have for @heimindanger that is probably the highest priority is increasing the speed that videos play since the videos pauses while I'm watching but YouTube doesn't.
The name in itself though is enough to say that it isn't just a piece of shit - I cannot think of a better name and domain for a decentralized video sharing app than d.tube.
I also like how people can host other people's videos so that they stay online and that more than one person can host a single video so that it is harder to censor.
YouTube is seemless and doesn't have the bugs that @dtube has but trust me, there are a lot of complaints in the vlogging community about YouTube, their censorship, demonetization options and their tendency to shape who gets seen and who doesn't.
This is a huge opportunity for @heimindanger and he is also giving us Vloggers a big opportunity by upvoting our posts.
I don't know enough about you @berniesanders or even @heimindanger but I appreciate this community and hope that you two will resolve your differences.
Why wager when you can bounty?
@heimindanger is a homophobe, remind him it's 2018 and people are people.
Would you believe anyone who calls someone else a "fag" in a derogatory way?
i agree with you
@heimindanger is a homophobe, remind him it's 2018 and people are people.
Would you believe anyone who calls someone else a "fag" in a derogatory way?
Here is not only one but TWO examples of this bigot using homophobic slurs.
