I am back on DLive and I have learned alot more to the system than I thought.
A new experience: What happened was I got a slot on the front page of DLive and from there I learned that anyone at any time will be selected as long as you do not have the mature / x-tag enabled. This is a random thing in favor of the small streamers giving them visibility.
What scared me the first time? the whole political right wing and other non-sense but most of that was removed since they where banned for live streaming the raid on the cap. hill back in jan.
Here is a pro’s list of DLive as in it’s current state.
Pros:
- The platform is secure from the start the API is locked down with tidylabs.
- The platform doesn’t cator to sponsors and supports the small streamers
- Dlive is similar to twitch but not really, most of the UI is similar
- NO Ads, straight up no advertising in the middle of broadcasts and that is amazing.
- Better sign up, chat enforcemnt, and
- Vods don’t get muted, you don’t get DMCA striked and you can play music while you game and entertain.
- It lives and encourages chat to interact with the streamer based on the rewards of the lemon system, you can earn lemons.
- Lemons (Dlive bit system) earn you real money and you can stake into crypto for even more money.
- Decentralized platform.
- Potential to bring in content that could boost my presence especially when this platform actually does take off to a higher ground.
Cons list:
- It relays on the streamers to help inspire it’s growth and the major ones only joined for rebounding.
- Discoverability is a bit hard and different if you just want to search for a game there is no tags and because it has no major favoritism and try to boost small streamers you will get a mix of all types of streamers in catagories.
- it’s hard to view your chat list if they don’t chat there is no way to view who is watching yourstream.
- Viewer number doesn’t go up unless you interact with the streamer. (you need to anyways to boost a chance to earn lemons and make money)
- No sponsorship from anything major I’ve noticed, like some places don’t even know it exists as a platform.
The stream so far is becoming a much better experience this time around. I have my Niche on Twitch, but it’s over saturated network. It’s own users has became the feel of a “regal” like system amongst themselves when they achieve said partnership or higher standards.
The way twitch is being these days / years, Dlive just needs that boost from a community and be able to sponsor it’s viewership to go up. They can’t just keep getting a rebound system going they need that boost even if it’s a gaming company to boost it, it is atleast something. This is a company owned by Rainberry, INC. the ones who started BitTorrent.
If I become a partner on this platform… Then I will one day just stop streaming to twitch as it is useless to me at this point. My twitch partner is unlocked, but I got no help to make it happen as my applications gets denied due to viewership numbers.
DLive I don’t need that help, I can do it on my own and it is much easier.
