I do wonder how many of those posts are dlive or dtube. Along with how many have been voted by the cleaners with a message they found similar content/issues with the post.

As someone who spends way too many hours a day on gaming related tags. I see a lot of video content not earning anything. While dlive/dtube are really good at finding and rewarding things. There a good reason for many of those posts to never get much.

-They never talk in the video

-The video can be found on YouTube but there no mention of there no link to their steemit profile in the description.

-They never mention their steemit username/the video includes watermarks/other people’s YouTube name.

-They never say dlive/dtube

-They are not using things like dlive UI.

-They don’t appear to be engaging with their dlive audience. The people they mention are not steemit usernames.

-The video is old posting from YouTube.

-The video looks like it was just dl off YouTube from 2010 with black bars/low res and bad audio.

-They never have a friend and/or check themselves if the video uploaded currently and other issues are not going on.

Educating

While most of the content I look for tend to be at 24+ hours old. As I’m looking for the stuff that got overlooked.

I’m just don’t have the time either to point these things out to people. I would become a copy/paste spammer. People do not like being told there content could not be verified that it belongs to them as the uploader from what is looked for in the gaming community I'm in.

I’ve also had people who then want ask a million and one questions about a 5-hour long stream that I might have only had had 3-5 mins to watch it and evaluate what I could of it. It’s sad but I just don’t have the time to invest in hundreds of people a week like that. Even more so since I don’t produce video content myself and there only so much “advice” I could give. Not to mention once you become someone “go to” for information they seem to lack any ability to research anything and you are now google.

I’ve been thinking about express some of these thoughts in a blog from the point of view as a gaming curator. Including both what i look for in written gaming content and video content as well. For now, I’ll just leave it as a comment. I also don't’ won't come off as sound “if you don’t do these things no one will ever vote for you.” As every community looks for different things and have may or may not care how reliability they believe the person posting the video on steemit is the owner of such content.
