My views are always a little controversial. I actually consider this a net positive. I think when the dust settles, most of the current users will move there. After the outrage dies down, people will realise they can just double upload video and stream on both platforms - kind of like what they do with YouTube now.

I haven’t used DLive in a while and I don’t like them very much if I’m being honest (I used to). However, if we can look past the “betrayal”, they are introducing some killer features like the perpetual earnings - which are just impossible to implement here due to Steem’s architecture.

My only doubt that they will succeed is this Lino thing. There is nothing out there like Steem. Not EOS and definitely not some “Lino”.
