RE: How are the other Steem sites doing?

in #steemit7 years ago

Interesting. I might check out the photo site and see what that's all about. I tried dTube but I still haven't managed to upload a video. It always fails for me.

So the big question is - these other services, are they feeding from the same rewards pool as Steemit? i.e. are we all competing for the same resources?

Sort:  

I managed to upload to Dtube using Firefox today. Had problems with Chrome. Some of the services use apps, so we won't see their use reflected in web stats.

All of these are just different ways to create a post on the Steem blockchain, so they use the same pool. What they don't always make obvious is that some take a cut of the post rewards. That's their business model and they will also have to cover the cost of hosting and streaming media. This post talks about that. I don't mind paying for a service, but the costs have to explicit.
