At this point everyone knows that today YouTube is the largest and most used video hosting platform in the world, but it is also true that it is not the only alternative, in fact there are many users who, unhappy with certain Use policies of the Google Video Portal, look for other proposals
Well, in this case we are going to talk about another similar website, but at the same time very different, called DTube, a decentralized video platform that uses Blockchain and P2P technology. Say that the main interface of DTube shows us the most outstanding content at that time, the trends and the most viewed. At the same time we can search or use the menu on the left to explore various labels or listings related to our account.
In this same list we have two other options for videos called "see later" or "see again", which will be of great help. Clicking on a video opens a new window that automatically plays the content, so far, there are few differences with other sites like YouTube. However, we can ask some questions, since, in the absence of ads, how is the content monetized? At the same time we can ask ourselves where the videos are hosted, or the restrictions that we can find in this platform.
DTube, the P2P streaming video service without restrictions
And is that DTube is a platform without advertising, since it uses "Steem blockchain", which provides many advantages with respect to the operation of other portals of this type. This means that users do not have to make initial deposits and that there are no transaction fees.
In this way the videos uploaded to DTube earn rewards in the form of crypto-currencies for seven days, for which this site uses a decentralized storage system powered by the P2P IPFS protocol to store the contents.
In fact, with all this the publishers of the videos are not the only users who make money here, but the visitors who leave comments, can also accumulate profits. Content creators can add their own accounts on DTube and upload videos to the service, where normal videos and NSFW are supported (not safe / appropriate for the job). However, the latter are hidden by default, but can be unlocked by clicking on the configuration icon located in the upper right corner.
Therefore, the service itself states that there is no moderation of content by its creators, so that users have full control in this regard using positive and negative votes. Of course, this is a platform that is now in full growth, so it still has a time to mature to have more content.
