Yes, it's true there is a YouTube look-alike!
This is DTube. Yes, it is very similar to YouTube. It is not intended to replace the giant but rather it wants to stand out thanks to all that I will enumerate. Those who know a little bit about it know that YouTube can become very annoying with copyrights, censorship etc... It can quickly become a real headache.
DTube is based on blockchain technology. That is to say that it allows to leave the total control of the works to their creators without going through an intermediary. This video sharing platform allows the decentralized storage of content.
DTube also rewards content creators thanks to the DTube corner (DTC). It is based on the number of votes and comments.
The main advantage here is that there is no censorship. Only users can do it by negative votes, in which case, this content can be censored. Here the number of views is not displayed, it is rather the DTC earned by the person who is there. There is no hidden algorithm that would favor some videos over others. All data is public. Advertising is not imposed. It is important to know that DTube works without it.
DTube has chosen a similar mode and design to YouTube so as not to disturb its users.
Myself, I've already thought about moving to this platform but I'm still hesitating... On YouTube everything is controlled. Even when you put some so-called royalty-free music, you can be blocked whether it's to monetize or the video can be completely inaccessible in some countries.
In short, it's a very good alternative. You also have the possibility to post a video already on another platform in embedded mode.
