I need my videos to remain up and viewable for longer than 3 weeks, so DTube stopped being useful to me a while ago. YouTube is also free, but censors me and collects my data. So I pay 3Speak a few dollars a month to upload to a superior video website that doesn't take down videos.
It's nice to hear that DTube is trying now, though. Maybe they sense there's competition out there? It's a free and decentralized market, after all!
