Ok, I didn't know that, so what is the idea of voluntary payment, will to elaborate?

Well the concept is simple, we have an option to pay maybe 1 steem per so much storage space - I dont know what this would cost to pay a server but basically i figure if you made videos everyday you could compress them before uploading and probably pay 1-5 steem per month to store a months worth of vids...

How long are the videos on D.tube stored now??? I saw an interview with the creator but this was not clear...

In general I am just interested in D.tube from a content creators perspective... what they do with their HUGE Steem delegation, I don't really care about... anyway I don't understand the model you describe.. as long as it works I am happy.

They only play for about a week or so - it depends how many requests there are - more requests and it will be available longer but the more time passes they sort of get 'buried'

Thanks a lot for the info... very valuable. I think some of my videos that are much older the one week are still up, but I am not sure.
