It Is The Perfect Time To Promote Steemit And Dtube!

We Steemians already know the benefits of Steemit and Dtube, that is why we are all here. But many out there do not know about the platforms or do not understand them. They have been content with Facebook, Youtube, etc. But the monopolies those companies have held has been slipping and weakening.

Censorship, the "adpocolypse" and many other issues have hurt them and sent the people packing. In a very strange twist the Alex Jones deplatforming has caused even more concerns of censorship. Agree with his deplatforming or not (I do not support Alex jones but would also never call for him to be censored in such a way) many have been questioning if this is just a first step, and if much more is on the way.

Within days those concerns could possibly be being seen already. Tim Pool covered the story about the Youtube channel H3H3 having their livestream shut down mid broadcast and being given a guideline strike. For simply discussing the Alex Jones issue.

While motherboard is writing articles with the title "Deplatforming Works". A sample of that article states:

"The dust is still settling after Alex Jones’s InfoWars was more-or-less simultaneously banned by YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and Facebook. The move has spawned thousands of takes about whether deplatforming Jones was the right move or a slippery slope toward more censorship. But just as important to consider: Will it work?"

This is all adding fuel to an already growing fire of discontent for those huge platforms. A fire that gives everyone of us Steemians more incentive and a more "visual" set of benefits to show to everyone that we know. If we all start heavily promoting Steemit and Dtube, explaining how it works. Why it is so amazing, etc. To every person that we can, we can really start to see Steemit become what we all know is possible. The errors of the monopolies like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and all the rest. Can be used to help create this decentralized social media platform ushering in a new era of online freedom. But only if we make it happen.

I say it's long past due, Don't you?
