I am going to watch a few of your older videos because there was some things that I was interested in...you are education as well as entertaining.

As for the votes, I agree. This is a social site at the foundation and we will upvote those we know, like, and trust. That is why I wrote a few times that it was misguided to think that some of the heavy hitters wouldnt upvote each other. It is only natural. If they spend a year developing trust and kinship, why would that cease? It wouldnt.

One thing I did consider with the heavy hitters is that they might be on here and pull in a lot of new users; yet those users do not have much VP. To start, that might frustrate some of the youTube superstars. Their 500K followers might be worth some money over there but on here, unless they have VP, they arent worth much. Also, it means the voting pool will take a while to dilute especially if those youtube followers arent content creators.

But you are right with that comment, the serious YouTubers who spend a lot of time creating longer, serious content arent going to be part of D.Tube because of the payout window. That might frustrate those who are reared with the produce it once, get paid forever....not on here...get paid for 7 days and that is it.
