Dtube Is hit or miss I agree, It Is getting better slowly. I still upload on Youtube and also upload the same videos to Dtube just so I have both of my videos on the video platforms.
It depends on what you want to do, do you want your videos on Dtube or Steemit because lets be realistic, not many people are on Steemit to watch videos, they want to read blogs but everyone Is on Dtube because they want to watch videos.
I was just linking my videos on Steemit when I first joined here but Dtube wasnt around then. As soon as Dtube was available I started uploading my videos there. It Is more effort to upload a video onto Dtube rather than pasting a link onto Steemit but atleast then the video is on Dtube and Steemit and not just Steemit.
