I'm really glad Dtube has been improving their usability and reliability. A real viable alternative to YouTube has been sorely missing.
I don't even buy the advertiser friendly argument put forth by YouTube. I think the demonetization is basically a soft form of intentional censorship.
You'll notice that big corporations have no problems with their ads playing during TV shows with extreme violence, foul language and even rape or suggested rape. Yet they are worried about libertarian ideas, government corruption and basically anything unconventional being offensive? Give me a break.
