How do you know that ? Are you familiar with Dtube or steemit ?

As a Dtube user, It's true that there are more and more content creators everyday on the platform.

The amount of content is still veeeeery far away for Youtube's, I'm pretty sure Youtube/Medium/Twitter don't really care about their blockchain-based counterparts right now, because of how small and hard to scale they are

Well.. That's the point isn't it? I've never heard about it, and likely only people interested in blockchain stuff has, I would guess.

On that note, are there any mainstream blockchain based sites or apps right now? Would be interesting to know.

Not sure, Furious Pete has moved his audience to Dtube and he is a fitness vlogger

I think that Circle is the most mainstream blockchain based app right now, because no one using it know that it's blockchain-based !

Do you have any idea how Circle works? I guess nobody knows it's blockchain-based because it's instant and has no fees, which doesn't sound like a blockchain. Are they just making a loss and swallowing all the risk (covering fees and transfering real cash before any blockchain confirmations) or is something else going on?

I doubt they're doing anything on a blockchain, unless it's a "private blockchain" (aka database)

As far as I can tell, both are very small scale and not showing much by way of legitimate growth. They certainly seem to be showing illegitimate growth, though.
