I'm very positive on Dtube, and very impressed that is has been built and succeeded so well, and I give a big thumbs up to those who made it happen. Even without getting paid, it will be a great platform if videos that add value to society get to be seen by society. At this point I am experiencing some cognitive dissonance over all the talk on the blog and videos about bots, and up-voting yourself, and buying votes, and punishing people who abuse the system, but where it seems the system is designed to be abused (maybe that comes with freedom, and is just part of how it needs to work). I am working on my first posts, but I seem to keep seeing the message that you need to learn how to play the system to even be seen on Dtube. To your point about don't worry about the others, I guess that applies here, and I just need to get going and see how it works. There are also some amazing good things that I'm seeing too, such as how the platform is committed to freedom, and the whole idea of the crypto tie in, and the payout for good content. The whole idea is almost like a new society (I'm sure the bankers and deep state are working on a way to kill it already), and it is great to have an alternate world to the darkness that is overtaking the FANGS.
