What they got wrong was that all content on DTube would be stored on the Steem blockchain. Actually, the video files themselves are stored on IPFS and only the Steem post that DTube automatically makes from the video is on Steem along with all the comments. But DTube alone cannot delete anything that is stored on nodes other than their own from IPFS. Also, even if DTube deleted a video (in case theirs was the only node storing it), they couldn't demonetize it because of the automatic Steem post made.

They would have to block each node separately.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Many are claiming that DTube removes videos after a period of time, is this true? I am not very familiar with DTube.

IPFS has what is called garbage collection. Rarely used videos get purged from a node if its owner chooses to use garbage collection. There is no automatic syncing on IPFS and there is no way to cause a file to be delete from someone else's node.

I see. So, saying that 'videos get removed after a period of time' would be mostly an inaccurate statement?
