Why Steemit Can Replace YouTube in a Few Years 🤭

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)


Steemit is an exciting new application to social media that not only rewards the Content Creators, but also the viewers as well. YouTube has had a monopoly for far too long and its algorithms for trending videos as well as monetization have been severely flawed. Consider the Logan Paul suicide video. The video was trending at first, was upvoted by 500k people, and was essentially rewarded with YouTubes algorithm. With such a clear bias for certain content creators, Steemit is like a breath of fresh air.

Steemit is a true free market and allows for true democratic popularity. The power is in the user, not the advertisers. The platform is decentralized, meaning that there is no censorship or advertisements. This allows creators and viewers alike to produce any content they desire without fears of being demonetized or flagged for "inappropriate" content. Steemit also rewards the viewers with curation rewards based on how engaged the viewer is. In this kind of atmosphere, Steemit is a freer, more profitable YouTube.

This is why I have decided to take Steemit more seriously and will begin to build up my Steemit profile to encourage others to adopt this technology and also teach them how to thrive from it.

At least now they have a strong contender. And if they don't pay well to their content creators, Steemit will become and more atractive to them.

Don't know if it's going to happen in just a few years...youtube is massive, and Steemit still has a lot of catching up to do.

But it will be at least a decent competitor in the medium term, which is a good thing for consumers.

Totally agree with you. DTube isn't as functional as youtube is yet but it definitely has potential.

I couldn't agree more. Youtube is paying less and less to content creators, whilst Steemit is paying more.

Thumbs up if you remember when Youtube used to be about YOU!!

....Now, all they care about is big advertisers and lining their pockets with fat wads of cash off of the backs of the creators who built them up in the first place! Dtube and Steem don't run on ads, and therefore won't need to throw creators under the bus to succeed!

Steemit is the way forward.

Good post! Youtube's monopoly is so toxic. Even Logan Paul's newest "redemption" video hit number 1 on its trending tab within a few hours, steemit and similar platforms are the way forward!

Agreed Bro, thanks for the feedback.

If Steemit will replace youtube imagine all those people coming here posting stolen articles and other stuff from various sources

Thank you @kingcryptical you may be right, or we both may be lunatics. I hope your right!

I’m trying to bring my subscribers on Steemit and I will soon start to migrate on Dtube for my uploads as well.
I have never had any troubles with their platform but after 12 years of loyalty, it’s time to change to something better.
