https://www.reddit.com/r/dtube/comments/cyhxd7/why_are_dtube_videos_mostly_just_embedded_youtube/ The reason we allow people to use third party services is that for many, the concept of self-hosting and getting away from abusive services isn’t a problem. They’d simply like a video site that allowed them to earn DTC and Steem.
I’d agree that having ONLY youtube videos would defeat the purpose of a decentralised video service, but we allow a lot of third party services (as long as they use oembed, you’re good to go). Alternatively you can let us host the video, finally if you have the know how and a local IPFS node, you can self host.
The point is we provide a lot of options, and that’s the key to decentralisation, not that everyone does it, just that everyone has the ability to do what they want to.
What about https://d.tube/ ? At first glance, you may think Dtube is just another of those websites similar to YouTube, but that’d be doing the platform a disservice.
Dtube is a decentralized platform that uses a social blockchain system where every user interaction is end-to-end encrypted. There’s no central figure controlling what users are posting, so they have more independence and control over their content. As a result, Dtube is censorship-free, and every uploaded video remains there forever.
The best part of this innovative video website is that users earn rewards for posting, curating, and voting content. The rewards come in the form of Dtube’s own cryptocurrency, DTC.

Since editing seems to be broken a bit. The idea of monetisation that D tube has makes it at least a viable structure. I just hope it goes well
