RE: Why do Youtubers Fail on Dtube/Steem

in #steem6 years ago

I totally agree with ya dude. It's a totally different animal than the Clickbaity, heavy title, 'be sure to like and subscribe' Youtube that we've all seen. To those who get it, it's refreshing. But for those who don't, and don't have the patience to reprogram, they don't seem to last.

I remember commenting or posting on a similar thought a long time ago. I thought to myself, if I have found a lot of success on one platform, why spend a lot of time and energy reprogramming to move to another? That's their home, they know how to work the system (as crappy as we may think it is), and unfortunately those credits don't transfer here. Essentially, there's no reason to leave without having strong faith in crypto and Steem in the first place.

I think Youtube vs. DTube harbors the biggest divide though. I think there's much more overlap from some others, like Twitch to DLive for example. I think someone moving from a live streaming platform is used to interacting with their fans, and would be totally okay with the system here, DLive or otherwise. Even Facebook, as much as I'm not a big advocate, encourages fan pages to interact, answer messages, reply to comments, etc. Youtube seems to be the platform that really encourages automation and ad attention over interaction. Point being, if we're going to pitch to anyone, maybe it's better to look at Twitch users, Facebook [live] users, hell, maybe even Twitter/Insta users.

Regardless, I think human interaction is back in style and they're missing out! Great video, as always dude!

Thank you for the feedback brother and of course you and I are 100% on the same page here.

I'm happy the human element seems to be taking over again.
