Right now the current interface is mainly linking to 3rd party services or IPFS. You can only host videos that are 480p on there currently because the hosting expense got so high. So in a lot of ways it has regressed in its offerings to host files.

I understand. DTube currently has even more serious limits than 3Speak (ThreeSpeak). There are Full HD (1080p) videos on 3Speak (ThreeSpeak), but the maximum file limit is 5 GB. Currently none of these platforms are real alternatives to YouTube.
I agree and I have thought about a lot of ways to solve that issue. First and foremost there needs to be additional revenue streams besides just price speculation. This can be done through various burn mechanisms and also outside funding to buy back the token and distributed it to people participating in the ecosystem or just burn them. Also pushing the majority of content towards 3rd party hosting does make sense but then I feel like if someone has a certain amount of coins in the system. Like 500 or something then it should unlock the ability to upload directly. The hosting became too expensive but if there were thresholds that were set and adjusted by the leaders then it would only allow people who were vested into the system to do anything like that. DTube became more of a curation platform the way the system is. The advantage is the coins are liquid at all times. You don't have 90 day power down cycles or anything like that.
