I think it's far too early to say anything about their business model. Fact is that they are entering into a market that is being dominated by Amazon and Google, which by itself is nuts. However, a lot of creators are disgruntled with them, so they may have an opening there. Them paying out their own currency to creators, especially big names like Pewdiepie, is a completely normal business move. Not only are they incentivizing more creators to try their platform that way, allowing them to gain a community and get their business off the ground, they also need to get their cryptocurrency out there so people can use and spend it.
That they are mindful about how much of that cryptocurrency they put out there by not paying huge amounts into the main wallet is also a good thing, because every time they convert their own money into Linos, they are essentially printing money. Which is something they need to do in the beginning, as the currency grows, but doing it too quickly would cause inflation and the currency to crash.
When you said you don't see their business model working, you are also forgetting about one essential thing that the stats on their main wallet don't show: they are acting as a bank. As such they don't just make money from people buying their currency, they also seem to take a small percentage of each transaction in fees.
So with the market situation as it is and their unusual but interesting business model, it is impossible to say where this is going. However, having the biggest YouTuber as an advocate and active streamer on their platform is a HUGE deal! So their chances of becoming established and stable aren't bad at all right now.

I have a topic for you. I just did a fancy Debian Buster Plasma
install. It came pre-loaded with 2 gui package installers.
Discover and Apper. Apper uses 7 MB of RAM and Discover uses 208 MB
of RAM. Feel free to correct me. There was some debate about
this back in 2015 in Fedora, and then about a year ago on Reddit.
But apparently all of that debate is obsolete now as both Discover and
Apper have both made lots of progress in development. A user does
not need both. So I assume a user will tinker with them and
eventually remove one of them. Can either be removed safely ?
By the way, the new RC Installer ( Calamares ? ) for Debian Buster
worked for me. It is not part of their daily builds of Buster, so
not sure if this installer will make it into Buster. Surely somebody
out there would know ? I thought setting up Debian Buster was easier
than Fedora and OpenSUSE.
If a Linux user is comfortable in Debian, is there any logical reason to
use Ubuntu-based distros ? is there any reason to use a
Debian-based distro, such as SparkyLinux ? I would say definitely
use SparkyLinux. I love SparkyLinux 5. I also love Netrunner
Blackbird. But I am going to stay in Debian Buster on hardware as my
only OS until I get bored or run into a wall.
By the way, Debian Buster Plasma comes with Konqueror as the
web-browser.

Thank you for posting this informative video. In additon to the concerns you
raised I am suprised how few streamers are raising awareness in regards
to the problem of predators using the Dlive platform to groom
children.... When a 38 year old tells a 14 year old to call him
-Meat-Popsicle-, doxes her location (multiple times), and an older
boomer is callin the child mesmerizing there is an issue. Yet the only
one punished is the one streamer actually raising concerns about the
grooming happening on the platform. Along with this, why are popular
Dlive streamers using Omegle to chat with the14 year old? Of all
chatting platforms to choose from and they use Omegle to chat with a
youth. Children should avoid Omegle it is a dangerous website for them.
Unfortunately there are even darker concerns no-one seems to have the
guts to speak about without fear of not becoming a global
partner/censored etc... #DlivePizzagate?

I don't think it's a -scam- but I do think D-LIVE needs to get their shit together. However once people start running out of the startup Lino people will start buying more and paying into the system. This whole thing about the LINO being -worth nothing- is them just covering their ass in case they flop.
However it's Upgrade time, they still haven't posted Ubuntu 19.04 to the upgrade servers however I'm pushing the development release and I'll update when I'm done.

I don't think -scam- was ever the correct word. Risky-as-all-hell seems more accurate. It's an in-development system, and I don't think it'll begin to turn a profit until the mainnet goes live and they produce the actual crypto, which can actually vary in value and generate profit based on the value of the people who use the network. Will it wind up working? No idea, but all I can say is I like the concept, even if Lino isn't the one to do it successfully.

so far im loving dlive, the community is mostly great and very supportive and they have announced that ads will be coming soon so im guessing this is there way to make money now.
i have a fair bit locked in and use my LP to support others while cashing out what i earn to help improve my stream. I would never go back to twitch if anything i'd move to mixer or youtube but twitch is defo not the place for me.

My Google Chrome keeps popping up DLive when I start up my PC. I found out that uTorrent was advertising it, I didn't even know how i clicked it. My dad helped me and said that you have virus on your computer. Also I found that in my PC there's 2 apps that are called -Programs-. Does everyone has it or just me? I didn't find any information how to block/get rid of the DLive website.

Something about opening new businesses: They are rarely profitable in the first few years, let alone few months, even when working optimally. Heck, Youtube was on the red for most of its existence (is it still? Forgot to check).
This is not to confirm or deny anything about the video's content, it's just one thing that I see a lot of people don't know.
