To even compete with Youtube or Twitch in any sense (even though that may not be the goal), the platform needs to allow livestreaming. I make videos from time to time, but in livestreaming, it really allows the ecosystem to thrive as people can upvote (or flag) in real time creating a whole new dynamic of making brilliant and ever changing content.
If this implementation comes sooner than later, I will make DTube my full time video streaming platform, and although I only have 800 subscribers, I can still bring those people over and expand the steemit user base at the same time. It is crucial to expand on pure video uploads because this type of platform is almost archaic at this point... but we are still in the infancy of relative blockchain technology and DTube feels like what Ebaums World was to the year 2003.
I think DTube is obviously going to be branched off of (as it somewhat has been already), and eventually we will get a fully functional site with livestreaming capabilities. I can see how people streaming sports events and films could get around a alot of copywrite laws and what not, but hopefully with a future fork, security and the evolution of content creation can take center stage.
I look forward to the developments, but I'll be livestreaming in Youtube for just a bit longer...
