I just watch this YouTube video, posted by @jerrybanfield, which is an excellent, honest discussion of both the strengths and weaknesses of  [DTube](https://d.tube/).   Jerry posted this video on September 5, 2017, over 9 months ago.  At that time Jerry mentioned that DTube was about a  month old.  DTube sounded like a worthy alternative to YouTube.  Jerry describes some of kinks that need to be ironed out in terms of the user experience.  

I am still a minnow, having joined the Steemit community one month ago.  My questions are:  well, it's close to a year since DTube was launched.  Has DTube lived up to its promise?  

Ten months is a  long time in our Steemit world.  Seems like another century, the manic phase of what appears to be yet another  manic-depressive cycle.  So, nearly a year after the DTube launch, I'd like to know if DTube has lived up to its promise. 

According to the video, even though there would be fewer people watching, I should  get more revenue per viewer than on YouTube.   Is that still true, especially given the recent demonetization  of many YouTube accounts.  What do you think?
