@dtube is a gamble. You either get their upvote or you just give them 15%. For a minnow thats a big hit. I tried contacting some of the moderators, trying to see if theres some kind of incubator for creators, patronage etc. Havent gotten a response so far. Its a hard decision. My videos take time and giving dtube 15% without support by them is something i need to consider. Hopefully in the future things will change. Atm. Im still waiting for their response.
