Scoring DTube and Youtube to choose which one to start!

in #dtube6 years ago (edited)


Hello Dtubers and Steemians! Let me introduce myself and say about two video platforms.
Are you keep saying you will start Dtube and Youtube? What is your choice?
Let's start it together and see which one become the future.

I gave a thought on which one will be key success in my future and try to decide which one to start.

Three questions came up

First, which one is easier to share with other people?
Second, which one can bring more earning immediately?
Third, which one can bring more future earning?

First, Youtube definitely wins regarding share and engagement.
There are a lot of platforms that supports youtube link to be attached easily.
Also, there are people who are not familiar with blockchain or crytocurrency so that feel uncomfortable to use blockchain based platform.
But there are numerous people on youtube platform, which means there are many more people to engage on youtube.
For D.tube to overcome this weakness, it's necessary to develop and stabilize the interface to bring in a lot more people. Also it will take time for people to feel comfortable about blockchain as some people still recognize it as cryptocurrency blabla scam. (I'm talking about general public, I have studied and been interested in blockchain and cryptocurrency for quite long time)

Second, however, youtube is becoming very competitive and it's hard to catch eyes competing with many other creators.
In despite, D.tubers are bonding together like early youtubers used to. So D.tubers are trying to support each other under name #dtubefamily777 #link777family.
Indeed, it's not necessary to fill 4000hrs view and 1000subscribers on D.tube to start earning as it is mandatory on Youtube partnership program. You are never getting a penny at first day on Youtube but there is slight chance on D.tube.

Third, as you earn steem and steem dollars on d.tube, according to steem price going higher or lower your current earning can become massive or nothing in future. In personnel, I believe the steem price will be much higher than now. Then again, it is not yet predictable D.tube community will grow and become stable earning channel or not in future. In despite, it is currently certain that high earning is possible if youtube channel would have been grown successfully, but not certain how competitive it will be.

So shall we focus on Youtube or D.tube? Please comment your opinion below.

I scored on each question I have.
First, which one is easier to share with other people? Youtube 9: D.tube 1
Second, which one can bring more earning immediately? Youtube 0 : D.tube 10
Third, which one can bring more future earning? Youtube 3 : D.tube 7

And I value each factor differently
As a creator, who wants to show my work to world, I value engagement most, 50%
Future earning is next one I value, 40%
As I do not mind to invest some time and effort for future, I value current earning 10%

Overall, I value Youtube 57% versus D.tube 43%

This score almost tied. So I decided to start both and compare traffic I get and see how future earning be.

So here comes the introducemyself video.
I thought of what video to put to introduce myself.
I brought the video of where I come from.
This is the place where I relate to every important moment in my early age.
This is Soonchen bay in my hometown where I visited for fun, rest and relief until teenage.
Also I have invited many of my close freinds to this place to show myself and hometown.
I am sorry if you expected me to show my face in intro video, but I don't feel comfortable to do that and I truly believe the vibe of the video represents my character-calm but strong. So please enjoy the video.

Indeed, I choosed this video to compare traffic and earning on youtube and D.tube.
I already uploaded this video on youtube.

If you are wondering more about myself I define myself as photographer, at the same time I have work experience in blockchain industry as PR editor and I am starting MBA in digital track next January at Amsterdam. Also, you can find written introduction on my blog @jinbtonic.

Please let me know on comment below what you think about future of D.tube and what I should value when I compare youtube and D.tube! Also, please throw a tip to grow D.tube.

Hi , I havent watched your video yet but I read the post. I think it is better to cross post, make content relevant to both Dtube and youtube. Kill two birds with one stone. But at times of course you can make exclusive content. I personally post to dtube first then re-post to YouTube a few days after by scheduling .

I share my dtube content and youtube on fb, insta and twitter. And I shall start just using the cover pic and post the two links so people can choose. But you are right , some people still fear blockchain and crypto, such a shame....

Yep, I'm planning the same but will schedule youtube first or at the same time. I actually feel more comfortable to share youtube link to avoid being look like blockchain nerd. On the other hand I like to share dtube link and bring some people in this community. Btw, is there any traffic analysis I can see on dtube?

Yeah the way I see it just balance it. If you know your facebook friends aren't gonna click a dtube link, just post the youtube, but at times share the dtube to spark interests.

Nope! No traffic analysis as far as I know. Before we could see how many people saw our post on steemit but after a hardfork it changed.

Why not focus on both and on other websites too?

Yeah, why not? 😊

Dear @jinbtonic, Quite detailed analysis there.

Perhaps you could also checkout Bittube.

I posted a brief note on it a few days ago. Here it is: https://steemit.com/video/@devann/would-bittube-outdo-dtube-and-youtube

Blessings.

Thank you for the information!
