RE: For anyone on the fence about starting a Youtube channel what's stopping you?

in #youtube7 years ago

What's stopping me? Steem... You're going to notice pretty soon, most of the top youtubers are jumping on here. We still need to host the video somewhere, but other crypto driven projects like SIA and STORJ are fixing that fast. Youtube and the other commercial giants have a continously diminishing future ahead, I would surmise, as these projects grow over the next 3-5 years or so. Just my opinion. I still have social channels everywhere, but it's my literal business to do so. That said, my money is all in steem from here on out.

Hey Sircork, yeah I guess the main sentiment of my post was more so just about putting yourself out there as a creator more so than it being specifically about Youtube but totally can relate to the points you pointed out. I'd love to see a blockchain based video site come out that would allow for totally free expression and no censorship.

A new video site is VidMe. I notice there's kind of a sentiment of screw Youtube videme is going to take over the world. I don't really have any gripes about any social platforms, at the end of the day they built it, its their platform and they can make the rules so while I may be frustrated by some of them I get that if I wanna play on their playground I have to follow their rules kind of thing.

I don't really like to pin one social network against another I think they each have their own place, each have their own culture and each have their own value.

I can agree with all you said, and I once directed a multimillion dollar social network project as well, so I totally get the ways and means of all of them. But I am an anarcho-capitalist at heart, and I see a brave new world of decentralization heading our way. This steem is just the vapor raising off the tip of a very big ice berg. I can feel it, after 30 years in the professional networking and internet industry. This stuff is the next big thing and here you are, all pioneering and shit. :) See you in the steem!
