"The truth of the matter is, Hive account@dtube is lame. I have never gotten it to work and it would appear that engagement is extremely low on that platform. "

Agreed. Alt media is having a hard time with censorship and shadow bannninng with Youtube. Steemit and Dtube doesn't have the real human (not robot) traffic compared to simple easy to use working platforms like Real Video, Gab Video and Bitchute which most free speech advocates have already adopted.

It's kinda sad because most alt media platforms want to moneytise their content to keep them going.

"let's never talk about Hive account@dlive ever again. I hope they burn in crypto hell for all eternity. How's that Lino bull crap working out for ya?"

Not understanding why Dlive deserves hate. They are perhaps the best working Steemit app out of them all and they're a proper business. It will be the first blockchain related (centralised or otherwise) streaming platform to take on Twitch and Mixer. Lino doing well is a good thing as Steemit needs competition. SMT's and EOS are not going to happen.
