Dtube – A decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS

TBH, I'm not sure how big of a future video "platforms" will even have. With IPFS+Filecoin and a few other parts, it might become quite trivial to host your own video content. With that the focus could possibly shift to platforms like Patreon, and if the payment parts of that can be commoditized (via things like Stellar and SatoshiPay), maybe even back to the good old website. One can only dream...

Using Filecoin means you are not hosting it yourself.

Oh, of course, my bad. I mean't to express "have your content hosted without a central party gatekeeping party".
