So we got into a pretty hot topic in our DTube discord and 
Other DTubers/Steemians that I mention in this are 
Here's my full transcript
“DTube doesn’t have any curation policy! Hot Topic, Comin’ Through!” - Video Request by
This a video request by
Dtube doesn’t have any curation policy ike other steem based applications have.
utopian-io is an example
Utopian has some guidelines such as - how much is invested, amount of sponsors, level of satisfaction, value, difficulty of work, etc
Utopian up votes are by a bot - so they obviously have some fixed set of curation guidelines
Here’s why I believe there are no clear-cut curation policies for videos
Going off what we’ve learned in public video sharing from various platforms such as Facebook, youtube, twitter, vimeo and the likes, it’s actually really difficult to determine a “good video.”
In the past 10 years, so many different types of videos have had a viral effect.
From public fights to pranks to make-up videos to photography videos to wedding videos to music videos to justin brieber singing on his webcam, to iPhones being smashed, to tesla’s racing with ferrari’s to people twerking to late night shows…i could go on…video and art in general is very subjective so they’re following a set of standards and doing their best to diversify the content so that the viewers and new people coming in get a balanced viewing experience. Will there be one in the future? I don’t know. But right now there isn’t, and I personally don’t think there should be a written one. Otherwise people will go generic and try to hit it every single time. People would try to game the up vote system and content would just be shoehorned into that one category. DTube would lose it’s diversity and potential for mass appeal. Bethwheatcraft also mentioned how it’s subjective and hard to curate. At this point - I believe DTube is doing their very best and I think they’re doing a good job because you can see the diversity in it. If they weren’t - our hot and trending video would look like this - Haejin Technical Analysis, Gaming Video, Recording Screenshot, Music Video with a picture, copyright, plagiarized stuff, more plagiarized stuff, original content, adamkokesh, haejin in the next 10 videos, more gaming videos, minecraft, low-quality crap upvoted by bots, more low-quality crap upvoted by bots, more of Haejin technical analysis. So it was actually brilliant of Ned to trust DTube with the delegation and in my opinion, they’re doing an amazing job. Am I bias? Yes. We all are. This is my personal opinion and anybody here is free to disagree with me.
Regarding your videos not getting upvoted - I have no control over that. And valorforfreedom kinda called you out on joining DTube for the up votes. Which you know, he’s just being him and after one encounter with ValorForFreedom, I was like “love him or hate him” he’s here for a purpose and I think his presence is necessary for us to sometimes see another perspective. And although we got off on the wrong foot, I’ve actually grown to respect him despite any differences we may have.
Let me share this story - I’m a basketball fan. My team is Toronto Raptors. There’s this player named Norman Powell. He was suppose to be a main player - a starter as you call them. For a long time he wasn’t. And obviously him being taken out of the rotation wasn’t fun for him. He was disappointed. He didn’t like the coaches call. But what the coach was doing was working. It’s not about the individual, it’s about the growth of the platform. It’s not about you. It’s not about whether you get up votes or not. It’s about the team. It’s about DTube and the growth of DTube. What the Coach was doing for the Toronto Raptors was working - in fact, they’re first place right now. Whether Norman Powell liked it or not - he didn’t get to play. All he could do was work on himself. And when the Coach felt like he was ready, he would put him in to play. Finally the opportunity came and Norman Powell got better. He started hitting his shots and the coach made him a starter again.
What’s the moral of the story? The coach didn’t put him in because he was upset about not playing. The coach had a system and the system was working. It got them to first place. Norman only got to start and play again when he worked on his own game and improved his shots.
Some of you may watch this and say “Oh Dnews…you get upvoted all the time. You don’t know how we feel.”
You can check my history - there was point when I uploaded 7-8 videos straight and didn’t get a vote. Did I complain? No. Did I call DTube out and get angry at them? No. Did I get sad? Yeah. Did it hurt? I little. I spent probably over 20 hours of work putting those videos together. But I focused on myself. I improved my shot. I thought “How can I improve my videos? how can I improve my presentation? How can I get creative? How can I make things more attractive?” and I evolved as a creator. You can watch my first videos on a webcam and see.
So I do know how it feels. My encouragement to you is - just keep at it. Keep on truckin’
Because the prize doesn’t go to the one that never fails. It goes to the one that never quits.
I will end with this.
Don’t take DTube for granted. Appreciate what they have given us. Stop complaining. Start acting.
The world doesn’t reward the problem seekers. It rewards the solution getters.
Be positive. Stay positive.
