I don't work for dlive, but I can see the risks and calculations they are making.
They have funding, they have a community, and they plenty of reasons to leave steem. Calling steem the "most positive place that exists" is incredibly naive.
Their goal seems to be to create a platform that can rival, if not destroy mainstream corporate platforms like youtube and twitch.
Let's stop pretending that steem isn't holding them back from that goal.
Steem has a track record. Okay name 1 place that is more positive than this? You will not find it. You get what I say with most positive place. Especially in Blockchain culture it is. There is a big negativity on literally every other platform.
They have funding but they don't have community. They just threw the community under the bus. "if not destroy mainstream corporate platforms like youtube and twitch." you mean what Steem is already doing.
What is it that Steem is holding back?
Steem has the best "product" or functionality of any blockchain, I will give you that. But positivity?
That's a really vague statement, and I don't really agree. There are some seriously insane people on steem.
I'm sure there are a lot of limiting factors from trying to mass curate on a blockchain you have no control over.
Steem shouldn't be above criticism. Dlive is leaving for a reason. People get maliciously flagged until they leave the platform. Higher quality content is hard to come by, and extremely low quality content can get overly rewarded depending on your stake and connections. The Haejins and the Bernies of the world are constantly devaluing the steem that actual good content creators are earning, buying, and spending.
I'm not saying I have all the answers but we shouldn't pretend steem is some blissful unicorn fairyland.
Yes Steem is not a unicorn fairyland. Steem is the real world.
"The Haejins and the Bernies of the world are constantly devaluing the steem" no they are not. People disagree about stuff happens all the time. It's human. It's not like there is a new big argument here everyday. On Steem Blockchain people voice opinions more than other platforms. Since on other platforms you have bad protection.
"People get maliciously flagged until they leave the platform." this is not true either. People have intense discussions yes. Some lose some cents here and there. That is mainly what you see. Many people become best friends after a disagreement. Adults have different opinions about stuff.
Majority of people create higher quality content eventually get's discovered and rewarded. You can even daily get paid for walking with @actifit. Also you did not mention a place that is more positive. Here people invent new projects on a weekly basis.
I'm working on a project for Steemit right now with a witness developer! very exciting stuff for Steemit!
@phoneinf Flagged off platform: https://steemit.com/@doodlebear
lets stop pretending like Steemit is the issue, they should be sued for saying all this bullshit! they are deceitful lying thieves, they built a project with Steemit CEO SP delegation of 2 million and all steemit users curating their daily posts added with the self voting they made thousands and are taking it to a new platform as they could never get streaming correct and that is what they do! they instruct you to download OBS and suck at life. @vimm has come out as better projects always will when you suck at what you do. The shady outfit @dlive held social media contests and used us to blast them all over before doing this.. they are leaving with our content without our permission... scum bags but hey lets stick up for them
the cost of servers/data storage were probably more (a lot more) than the 70k steem they made curating/posting. That means they have been operating at a loss with a pretty revolutionary platform.
With their own blockchain (centered around content) and own coin distribution they will make more money and so will the content creators. And they might be able to compete with the likes of twitch/youtube.
Steem is not centered around content. Steem is centered around power.
They are not revolutionary, a streaming service that requires you to download real streaming software really revolutionary????
Their own blockchain? Look closer, you sure its not a web page?
they have funding haha 20 million, they have community hahahaha 35 in their discord is huge!!!
