RE: DLive is Leaving Steem, And This is My Last Blog Post on Steemit
$80,000 a month in server bills!!!! Haha you guys are really good man.... So you guys spent half a million dollars on server costs in six months? Or should I say $960,000 in a full year? I'm not a seasoned business man but IF this is true than why are you mad at Steem? You built your dapp to not charge any Beneficiary rewards. To me it seems like you guys came here with bags of cash to see of Dlive would work. It did and you guys became very popular. But is it Steem's fault that you guys had such a bad business model? No it isn't. You may pull the wool over some of these guppies eyes but not me homie. I'm from the streets and I know your kind. In Hip Hop we call your kind Culture Vultures!!!! So please don't cry about how this didn't work. You guys were doomed from the start!!!! I always thought it was strange that you guys didn't charge for using Dlive. Now you saying you guys paid 80k a month in server bills. I was one of the first people to use the live streaming service and I hate to see you guys go but I am even more happy that you guys revealed your true intentions. As for the attacks you are getting from Steemers I don't agree with racial and ethnic insults but common what did you expect. I hope you guys treat Lino better than you did Steem oh wait you guys have 20 Mil so Lino users should be fine. So will Lino pay the 80k a month?
I will end this by saying
My comment on one of their transparency shitpapers about them setting a 0% take bringing up issues of how they planned to fund the project long-term held up well.
Success in the world of Blockchain apps can be precisely measured in terms of aggregate distribution of value measured in USD. In 2018 from January to July DLive distributed $3 million USD by leveraging the Steem blockchain for some aspects of content management and autonomous token distribution. Will they deliver the same amount of value or more in the second half of 2018 or 2019?
The only Lino users they will have are from here. lol. there is not one other app on it.
They are free to go, and it is sad.... They will take a few vloggers with them, they will be building from the ground up...

Proof this website didn't have the uniques to back up these kind of bills. The pirate Bay spends less and it has this to brag about .. "As of February 2013, BitTorrent was responsible for 3.35% of all worldwide bandwidth, more than half of the 6% of total bandwidth dedicated to file sharing.[3]" .
My suggestion to future dapps. Forget about building on Steem if you do not enable evergreen content.
