Glad you got off the merry-go-round. I wasn't on there but maybe a year and I noticed quickly that things were off. Even stuff that was monetized properly on my channel never paid. (Not that I would have even kidded myself for one second that a viable income could have been derived from participating there, but to not receive the payout was shady.)
I've been here a few months now and in the short time I've been using d.tube, the tech has significantly improved. I think that it's extremely powerful, especially considering we're still just rocking a beta.
Glad to see you here, man.
