In many ways, Dtube is everything that I wish YouTube was. However, more and more, I am coming up against the fatal flaw of Dtube. A feature that is so broken that it nearly ruins the entire experience of the website. I speak of the Dtube uploader. To call it garbage is to insult garbage.
I would like you to look at two exhibits. The same video, uploaded to YouTube and Dtube at the same time. Just behold the difference in progress.
In a video comparing youtube and Dtube, I said the Dtube uploader is 3 to 4 times slower than the YouTube uploader. I was wrong. It’s got to be more like 10 times slower on an average day.
I am not pointing this out as a Dtube hater. I love the platform. And I think if they could fix this one fatal flaw, it would be the YouTube killer that the creators of the world have long hungered for.
I know that there are probably very compelling reasons why Dtubes uploader is so slow. I just don’t care what they are. The reasons don’t matter. Only the user experience matters. And what we are experiencing is an intolerably slow uploader that is often buggy and unreliable.
I have other grievances with Dtube, but this is the major one. This is 90% of what I don’t like about Dtube. And it’s a real shame, because there’s so very much that I do like about the platform. I hope that they can solve this issue in the near future. I can tell you that if I were them, it would be my absolute top priority by an order of magnitude.
