We’ve heard a lot about how the Web3 creator economy is better for creators. But how creators should enter this field has always been a problem.
In addition to NFT, there are actually many ways for creators to enter this field. For example:
-
social token
-
Create DAOs
-
metaverse
-
social media
Social media was the least mentioned of these categories. But the opportunities for better, decentralized social media networks are still enormous, judging by the way people use new technologies. In the era of new economic technology, ownership economy and creators will choose platforms more carefully.
Let’s take a look today at 6 decentralized alternatives to YouTube in the Web3 space.
YouTube for Web3

D.Tube
D.Tube is the first encryption-based decentralized video platform built on the STEEM blockchain. Users can find and upload all types of content on DTube. The immutable STEEM blockchain makes it possible to integrate cryptocurrency incentives for watching, uploading, sharing and commenting on videos. Viewers can earn DTUB coins (ie native tokens) on it. In addition, the platform also generates voting rights (VP), which can be used to influence video ranking and bandwidth (BW), and can also be used for transactions on the blockchain, and can also represent participants' rights and interests in DTube DAO. There is no algorithm to decide which video ranks higher; every creator has an equal chance. Users can reward content creators with cryptocurrencies.

Odysee
Decentralized video platform Odysee was launched in December 2020. It can now successfully provide users with basic services and bring them a pure user experience. The platform hosts video content on the LBRY network. Its content is stored on the blockchain, and the platform cannot delete the creator's channel. There are no moderators on Odysee, they are all supervised and governed by the community. Every creator and consumer of the platform will be rewarded with tokens. LBRY points can be used to purchase digital content. The biggest advantage of this platform is that it is free from censorship and advertisements.

AIOZTUBE
AIOZ is a token that powers the Aioz network. The network is an L1 blockchain that supports interoperability between Ethereum and Cosmos. It aims to provide low transaction fees for the implementation of dApps such as file storage, live broadcasting, content delivery, etc. Aoiz Tube is built on the AIOZ blockchain to distribute video content in a decentralized manner. It has viewer rewards for viewing ad impressions and videos, allowing viewers to earn AIOZ coins on the platform. Advertising revenue on the platform is shared with creators, who can also earn revenue while making videos for the platform. They call this the Content Partner Incentive.

3Speak
Content creators directly own their content assets and communities in 3Speak. The platform ensures that communities connect directly with the creators they care about. In addition, blockchain technology allows the creator to fully own the content, so the content can be transferred to other applications using blockchain technology whenever the creator feels the need. If creators are not satisfied with the platform's services, they can transfer their generated assets to another app. 3Speak does not censor, reject or remove creators' videos as we have seen on YouTube. Viewers are also rewarded with Hive tokens and can accept token donations. Its tokens have a large number of practical functions, providing token holders with more rights and interests in the governance of the platform.

DLive
DLive is an American live video service company founded in 2017 and acquired by BitTorrent in 2019. The platform is primarily geared towards live streamers and promises to empower creators and their communities through a revolutionary rewards system.
Like any decentralized platform, DLive puts ownership in the hands of users and rewards them for their contributions to the development of the platform. This system allows the community to gain more benefits from cooperation. However, it charges a 25% commission on all transactions on the platform. To join DLive's partner program, creators need to have been on the platform for at least 1 month and have at least 15 traffic on their profile. They include recurring subscriptions or one-time gifts used in ecosystem development. The community is central to their narrative, making members stake their BBT tokens and earn staking rewards for daily contributions.
Summarize
Due to the censorship system of traditional platforms, which restricts online content to a certain extent, decentralized platforms can avoid these situations, and at the same time treat content creators as co-owners rather than content machines.
Finding a platform that works for you and your users becomes extremely important.
