Most people have probably already heard the news that Dlive is moving from Steem to Lino. When I first read it, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I always thought that Dlive was a well-respected platform on the Steem blockchain and that they were in it for the long haul.
I've personally recommended it many times over Dtube, praising their low fees and easy to use interface. Now I'm really starting to regret doing that. That announcement really hit hard, because I genuinely liked using Dlive, I've had less issues with it than with Dtube for example.
In their announcement, they mentioned that the reason for abandoning Steem, had to do with the fact that content on Steemit wasn't fairly rewarded. This seems like a bit of a bullshit excuse to me. It really looks like they've been planning this switch for a while and Dlive seemed to have connections with Lino before there was even talk of switching.
Alternatives
Dtube now seems to be the most logical alternative to replace Dlive. I'd say we're pretty lucky that we're able to have multiple options in the first place. Imagine if Dlive was the only streaming platform on the Steem blockchain, we'd be screwed...
Another smaller streaming platform I've seen being mentioned is Vimm. It looks to be a lot smaller than Dtube, but that also means that your content is more visible. It's always a good idea to have multiple successful streaming platforms available for Steem, I think that has become clearer than ever.
Or you could decide to stay on DLive, in the hopes that the Lino tokens get some value in the future. Don't forget that you'd be reliant on tips and donations in the meantime. Might be a bit hard to sustain, right after they've lost a big chunk of their streamers.
Conclusion
Dlive was a really great platform for streamers and I would be lying if I said i wasn't going to miss it. While I only streamed occasionally, Dlive allowed me to do that with minimal amounts of effort. EVerything just worked out of the box for me.
That's the main reason why I'm so disappointing in them for leaving Steem. It just feels as though they've used Steem to get their startup funds, while always having planned to leave it eventually. I think 
Steem will definitely still do great without Dlive, but it's still very sad to see a big platform like that leave. Let's quickly move on and support better platforms!
