Definitely a major factor for me on 3speak is the speed of startup for playing videos. They start almost immediately on desktop and mobile. This has been a crippling problem with Bitchute from day one. The upload process has been rock solid since the very start of the beta as well which is something I never got working on D.Tube. All in all I was DELIGHTED to pay 17 Steem for this month because as long as I'm paying, I know I'm not the product!
