All over the internet there's an announcement that PewDiePie is backing DLive, a new "blockchain-based streaming platform" that's claiming to be an upcoming Twitch competitor. Dlive claims to give 100% share to content creators on its sites and also says viewers of streams can profit as well.
We decided to look into this platform and there are some serious concerns about the business model of Dlive. In this video I go over the possibility that this website could easily turn into a scam, and talk about all the questionable issues surrounding the Dlive service.
I want to stress that it's possible Dlive could run legitimately. But every red flag is there for me to be wary of this site. I encourage content creators to be careful transferring their brands over to this site, and I don't think PewDiePie should be recommending that creators go to Dlive. Be very careful of businesses claiming they have "no monetization strategy."
This video contains:
* Talk about Linos, the Lino Network, and how Linos work
* Dlive, how Dlive as a platform works, and Dlive operation
* Cryptocurrency talks about how to blockchain and ERC-20 (ethereum) ties into this
Special thanks to the Nash Nation community and Discord who helped put together the links and dig through all the data.
