RE: BREAKING: My Thoughts On DLive LEAVING Steem!
Right now my plan is to post to both DTube and DLive. I've read their reasoning for leaving and I understand and support it. It's a business decision. In the end will it be a good one? It's hard to say. But I do know they've been quite supportive of me since I started on the Steem blockchain and found out about DLive. I started on DTube. But DLive was upvoting more often for me. So it's clear to me where my content seemed to work better. But that's not to say I'm giving up on the Steem blockchain either.
And that's a dangerous thing for me to say right now. People are getting flagged for sticking up for DLive. And there seem to be some crazy conspiracy theories as to what DLive is up to. And I wish people wouldn't go all into that. But that's going to happen, and that's fine. Whatever.
The people who are on DTube have also been very supportive of me and my channel. But yeah, no whales were upvoting or anything (and that's fine). DTube upvoted me once in a while but again, not as often as DLive would.
I'm not going to jump on the conspiracy theory bandwaggon, or the hate bandwaggon that some are doing. Both are great platforms. I personally never cared whether the video/streaming service was decentralized or not. That just wasn't, and still isn't, a big concern to me. If it is decentralized, great. If not, well that's fine too. I don't have an agenda either way as far as that goes.
But I know I've found DLive has worked well for the most part for me, so I'm not going to abandon them just because they're leaving the Steem blockchain. At the same time, I'm not abandoning DTube or the Steem blockchain, either. As a content creator, it actually makes things better for me because I can post the same video to both platforms without making it look like I'm spamming on my Steemit blog. :)
https://vimm.tv/ is just starting, you should investigate them.
I may try them out too. But right now the site is down.
I feel ya, they're under a lot of strain for a just starting group. I just F5 it (refresh the page) a few times to mitigate the "502 Bad Gateway," error, but after a few times, she works :). Good luck!
I'm going to sleep right now, it tomorrow if you need help, feel free to hit me up and I'll do best.
