You do have a good point, that this should be available to be read. DTube should put this on the website not just the faq of the discord channel. I person should be able to use this technology fully from the web or app frontend. I didn't join discord until i realized that much of Steemit/DTube didnt make sense, so i needed a place I could ask questions. The web-based documentation is not very good.

Believe it or not, I found DTube first, in March, and then joined Steemit so that I could use DTube. I was looking for where I could migrate from YouTube.

This is also something interesting. The was DTube is advertized is that the D stands for distributed. I was attracted to the idea of distributed content, like bittorrent. But if they delete videos from their servers to save space, is this a distributed model? Aren't they just a less-successful, fully-centeralized model similar to YouTube?

In contrast BitChute used bittorrent, which is probably where I'm going to move my video content. I'm still happy with Steemit, and from what I can tell it still uses distributed techniques to store the content across the world.
