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.

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:

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.
