Totally agree with the view count as that would be a benefit. We know DLive does this, but DTube hasn't yet. We believe this would be implemented by the end of their first year (hopefully).
As for your first point, we believe this should be an option for the creators that want their content to be stored and are willing to pay for file storage space, yet not everyone either wants to pay or maybe doesn't earn as much upvotes to make it a viable option.
How about sub-channels for your account? Organizing and sorting what type of videos you make and which categories they go in (like all these videos with be categorized as "Japan trip" and then ones from Hawaii in other sub-channel, etc.).
Btw, let us know when you're in Bangkok. Would be up for a meet-up one night! Hit us up on here or Discord - travelling-two#5596
