I am doing a live 12 hour stream starting at the time of this posting so please stop by my stream to say hi and check out all the new features on DLive!
Hey, my name is Chanse A.K.A. Chanse The Guy on DLive!
I am a live streamer on DLive and have been involved with the platform since early January 2018. Before starting streaming on DLive, I had no previous streaming experience whatsoever but I had always thought it was amazing people could stream things they already liked doing, such as playing video games or doing makeup tutorials, and people would actually watch them do it! I stumbled upon DLive only a few days after joining Steemit in late December and since then, it has interested me and is where I spend most of my time when interacting with the STEEM blockchain.
DLive is truly a great platform for content creators and viewers.
Content creation in the form of live streaming and video creation is experiencing robust growth as an industry and I personally think DLive, based on the STEEM platform, is a next-generation overhaul of the current streaming ecosystem. If you are not familiar with other live streaming platforms such as Twitch.tv or Youtube.com, a significant amount of author rewards are taken the content creators by the platform. I think DLive has a remarkable marketing advantage over these platforms because of the combination of theirs and STEEM's current reward model. As a content creator on DLive, there is a 0% cut taken from author rewards; the money you earn is yours. This is huge for content creators! Though, one could argue that if there is no viewership, it doesn't really matter if another platform takes a percentage of author rewards because they make up for it with user base. The curation reward feature of STEEM is how I think DLive comes out on top in the battle of content platforms. No other platform rewards the user/viewer with their share of ~25% of all money earned by the content creator(s) they support! Imagine telling users currently watching content on any other platform that they could actually receive part of the money the creators they watch earn! It would turn into a positive-feedback loop of the supporters earning more as the creator receives more viewership/upvotes/rewards.
New features; DLive is ready for take-off.
DLive recently announced update 0.7.0 (see more information HERE). Many significant improvements were made to the platform, including an off-chain chatroom for live streams. This new chatroom functions similarly to chatrooms on other major platforms and bypasses the minimum 20 second interval for Steemit comments. This update really took DLive to the next level and I say this as both a creator and a viewer.
My stream!
As well as highlighting DLive, I was hoping to bring some attention to my stream specifically by promoting this post. I am an avid gamer who enjoys playing Player vs. Player (PvP) and competitive PC games. When I'm not destroying other players, I like to test out the newest games, play with friends, and drink beer. I am a senior at my university and major in Information Technology. I have some custom coded programs on my stream such as chat commands so please have fun with them!
