3Speak dropped their fee? I hadn't heard that... great news!
But neither 3Speak nor Dtube are free because they require a functioning Steem account, which is not. Try starting at 0SP and see how many videos you manage to upload.
We need free platforms, with instant signup and access, where videos continue to play forever. Steem isn't gaining any new members as YouTube empties out - the proof is in the pudding. Flote and LBRY are doubling in size every few weeks right now. Steem has been stuck at a million accounts for what, 2 years?
If we had a decent video platform here, it would have helped, but people have had to go elsewhere for that.
