Zip zap to bitinstant via western union to Gox.....I been here for it all. Using YouTube because Dtube still sucks does not make me have "flawed logic". When Dtube is on a similar level I will kick YouTube to the curb so fast it will make your head spin. I hate yourtube and google with a passion. Right now it's a necessary evil and I'm just gonna use thier platform for free to promote the rest of thier customers to leave and get paid to blog. Like I said, I'm way out in front, try to keep up with me please.....

All things aside, do you think Dtube can kick Youtube aside? (no pun intended).

The network effects are massive. Youtube crushed all because it's a massive undertaking that bleeds money. Blockchain throughput is slow and you would need sophisticated infrastructure, architecture, robust hardware design, obscene bandwidth, mind-blowing storage and countless database, To run all this you need a many top-notch... sysadmins, scalability software architects, feature developers, network engineers etc. As much as I love the thought of decentralization, centralization will provide the best experience and performance for video. To put all this into perspective, I believe Youtube was barely break even for Google 10 years after the purchased. I think 2016 was their first profitable year.

In the end I think blockchain dapps will crush everything. Dtube has a ways to go before it can even be mentioned in the same sentence as youtube. Dtube works, but it doesn't work as well as YouTube. I do think masses of people are gonna move to social media blockchain because the incentive is just too good. We will see the next big move when BTC breaks 20 and it's all over the news.

The incentive for content producers might be attractive to some, but for the average user who consumes content itโ€™s all about the user experience. Generally speaking, content producers go to where the crowds are. Speaking as a new user the experience has a long way to go. I think steemit needs to think more about new user on-boarding and overall experience. @ned and team members should start new accounts starting at the default rep of (25) to better understand what the new user experience is like. This key any platform is new user growth and new daily active usage. Thanks for participating in this conversation.

I am definitely enjoying this banter! Keep it up guys. (lol)
