Well, we don't know, because Steemit, Inc. does not release information about their delegations, which I feel ought to be more transparent. @DLive launching their own platform is of course their right, as it is ours to demand an explanation of the behavior. My intuition and what I've gleaned so far tells me they were not being completely honest in this post.
Never heard of @bitchute or Real Video, I'll have to check those out! As far as @dtube, along with many others, I wish they would take a smaller cut than 25% of author rewards. I know they need to reward their teams, but that is a massive amount.
I have not been able to play my older Dtube videos. That is videos that are older than a few months which didn't make any money on Dtube. They don't load, they don't play. But my older Dlive videos did play even if they didn't make money. If earning a certain amount of money is required for Dtube videos to remain up, then I just would want to know about it ahead of time, lol, but really. I like http://Bitchute.com and the others too. Thanks. Upvoted.
