Hello steemit,
I followed my favorite youtuber, TJ Kirk, here after seeing his video about steemit and DTube. I'm really happy that this place exists because I know how awful youtube has become as a platform for creators. Everyone I watch over there has complained about their stuff being censored, demonetized, flagged down, etc and I think steemit and DTube are the most promising solution to this problem.
As for me, I've decided to start creating content myself because I feel a lot happier when I'm doing something creative. I figured I can upload a few videos to DTube about some of the more obscure/niche computer games I play so that people can see what they are and perhaps enjoy them as well. So you can expect the occasional video from me about some computer game you may have never heard of. I might also cover the occasional programming topic. As I'm a developer by trade, I usually don't have any energy left over for programming projects of my own anymore. So if any of that interests ya, hopefully I can entertain you.
BTW does anyone know what format and codecs DTube expects? I've had mixed results so far. The first video I uploaded I used MP4 (h.264) for video with the ac3 audio codec. Video uploaded fine, but it had no audio. So I uploaded a new version using MP4 (h.264) with libmp3lame for audio and this worked fine. However, some friends of mine watching the video from Mac could not hear any audio at all.
