RE: "Decentralized" YouTube Alternatives on Steem? Nope, Not Yet | A Detailed Look at 3Speak and Dtube

purposefully mis representing that we are a currently a decentralised storage system for video.

That is subjective, is it not? How could I know if anyone was purposely attempting to misrepresent?

What I can show is an ongoing narrative that alludes to it.. and then when people go to look at 3speak’s website, what do they find? A faq that says it’s stored on chain. It’s not shocking why many of your users are now running with that narrative as well.

Here are a few examples-

*3speak also doesn’t store videos in a decentralized way, which was her question.

Someone points that out...

And they get a response, which does also include a link to your video roadmap, which focuses on the goal of being a DAO.. it doesn’t actually answer the question at hand though or say what it does currently or how it works (which again, is what people are asking)

So you only use that for speed? And have a decentralized back end? Or “still being built” means you don’t?

Again, future plans are kick ass.. but answering a question with what may happen in the future doesn’t actual answer the question of what it is right now.

*3speak also uses big backer centralized storage

What does “decentralization of storage also incentivized” mean? There is no decentralized storage currently.

John joined lbry due to “decentralization” and you know.. He should join 3speak too

And when anyone who reads any of this.. which does allude to the idea of it being a “decentralized alternative to YouTube” and goes to 3speak.online.. they see this

What exactly does that tell them?

There are tons of other tweets like this, these are the few I went to grab quickly. Your users are now taking this message and running with it.. and how could they not know that is how it worked?

I’m not trying to be an ass here, but quite frankly I’m a bit confused how you don’t see the issue tbh.

As I said, I think the project idea and the current set up is pretty great.

You have a powerful message, great UI/UX etc.. it just seems irresponsible to not only not have a back up storage but also to advertise your project to individuals currently being deleted elsewhere as somewhere that that could never happen.. when you and I both know that with the current set up that is also what can happen on 3speak.

Yes, very subjective. There was a time hat we stored on sia. But it was disabled based on wehmoen’s comments here Other than this, there is a clear mis understanding here which could have been easily resolved if bought to our attention in our discord. Please do this in future, or at least try to. It will save a lot of valuable time and effort on both our parts. We will issue our correction blog and update our tos based on the outcome

Are you telling me that no one from your team was aware how the project was being represented?

And that I should have just come to discord to tell you and all would have been resolved?

I look forward to the more clear communication and will edit my post when it’s done, but acting as if this was all just a big misunderstanding seems like a cop out, not gonna lie.

That isn’t up to u. Ur opinion is ur own. Free speech after all. Yes. We take all we
questions in our discord very seriously and do our best to answer them. I am sure our users can attest. You should try joining it. It can be informative at times. And yes, this type of clarification would be taken cery seriously and resolved as quickly as possible in our docked. If not, we would expect our users to make noise about it on the steem blockchain ;)

Yes my opinion is my own, but this is also a legitimate question -

Are you telling me that no one from your team was aware how the project was being represented?

And I’m not stating you don’t take concerns seriously, I’m more surprised that anyone would have to bring this to your attention.. and asking if the team wasn’t aware themselves of how they were representing it.

I will be sure to bring my concerns forward in a different way in the future, as you know I’ve brought many concerns up in the past and they weren’t taken all that well either.

Perhaps that’s why I chose to go this route instead, as it appeared that the team was aware of how it was being represented, as they were the ones doing it.

If that was a mistake on my part, I apologize and will do my best to bring these concerns forward in a better way in the future.

Thank you Justine. I look forward to being held to these types of high standards, whereby we are given an opportunity to do the right thing If we slipped up and you can help us improve in our discord room, unless it is completely necessary to go public immediately
