Well there is an easy answer. It's @Dlive. I have tried out many different platforms such as LBRY, Minds, DTube, and more. LBRY has little to no infrastructure currently, Minds is great, but is more of a social platform than a dedicated video hosting one, DTube lacks infrastructure but it much further along than LBRY however their staff, curation, and general sentiment seemed less than attentive and potential unethical. I'm not even tagging them so I don't get heat for pointing it out.
For a long while I was clearly under the misconception that DLive was just a live streaming platform. After closer inspection I realize that while that is their main demographic, their regular video hosting has a smoother UI, easier to use, faster, is more reliable, and I'm not just posting in hopes that DTube will upvote and still take a massive portion of my rewards (DTube is 25%, DLive is 10% I believe).
How Easy Is It To Use?
I'd love to show you all just how easy it is to use @DLive by going through my upload process for my music account @Scottychams
Then I drag and drop my video on to this (MP4 Format)
You will see your video preview and the uploading bar etc as well as the URL when it generates and stats for later.
Below is the more important fields. You have your thumbnail to upload for your preview / cover image that will display on DLive and Steemit and be used for previews on social media sites. You will fill out your title and description like you normally would find. You can set an age restriction if you feel your video falls under NSFW. You can then set a category to give people a better idea of what your content will be, set your tags and the language of the video.
Something I did find interesting was I didn't hit a tag limit. I only tried maybe 10, but it didn't matter as after when I go to add my extra stuff later I have to remove the extra tags, however they stay visible in DLive so I'm not sure exactly if it works or not, but yeah that is something to experiment with I guess. Then you just submit and you're good to go!
In conclusion though I think it's really easy to use and is by far the fastest and most efficient video hosting platform on Steemit that I know of. It may very well be the best on the blockchain, so big ups to @DLive I would love to get involved in your marketing and help support where I can!
Let me know your experiences with DLive and if you know any other quality video hosting platforms for Steem and or on the blockchain.
