Is Steemit Replacing Patreon?
As many of you who follow my program know, we've had some major funding issues in 2017 related to both YouTube and Amazon, but also more recently we lost about 10% of our Patrons due to a bungled announcement of a change to Patreon's fee structure. I caller asked about what's going on with Patreon...
The saving grace for 2018 might be...that with the growth of our content on Steemit, the "Patreon problems" may prove irrelevant

I will admit that I sometimes still have my doubts about Steemit as s going concern, but so far it seems to be hanging in there. Time will tell.
Of course it is! It doesn't cost anything to support anyone. We upvote you because we like your content and not because we don't want you to run out of business. Thank you for embracing steemit.
I don't understand, who is paying these dollars? And what do they get in return?
I can help you with that. http://bfy.tw/Fnr3
I was hoping he meant that you can send content creators rewards at 0 cost
I didn’t even know what Patron is)
I'm willing to bet that eventually you will be making more here then on any of those other platforms.
If I took that bet, I'd sort of win either way, right?
LOL
Get ready for the downvote wars from people who think they know how much money your posts should be worth.
Can you downvote though? I was under the impression you cant.
It's also called flagging. It removes money from the post at the same level as an upvote. There is a big battle going on on certain whales downvoting users whom they decide are making too much money on steemit.
Holy shit, a David Pakman that replies to comments? What is this sorcery??
Is this actually David, or am I talking to a Russian troll?
Either way: Zdraveite
Yeah, I'd go for it if I were you.
I hope so Patreon and other social media sites are becoming anti-free speech.
Expect the trend to continue as ISPs in the near future begin taking advantage of the repeal of net neutrality.
They never were free speech. They were pro-money, like all corporations.
@davidpakman I am wondering what place YouTube and DTube have if a complete move to Steemit happens.
There's no denying YouTube is a superior platform, but DTube certainly helps to bring in more exposure and therefore upvotes/steem/usd. I often have trouble watching DTube videos as the technology is not quite up to par with youtube and some videos (such as this one) I am just unable to watch.
What are your thoughts?
I also have some issues with Dtube sometimes. But as far as steemit replacing it and YouTube, dont think that will happen. There will always be people opposed to steemit and i fear it may be the majority that feel that way. So YouTube will always have a place. And some improvements need to be made to Steemit for it to become widely accepted. It can happen though. Everything starts small and works up. But YouTube will always remain superior to dtube. YouTube set the bar high and dtube is not even close

Don't change steem with any other currency it is not a gentle step according to me steem has really a great scope in future it will shoot up so think about it
Just started following you! Looking forward to seeing more great posts!
You'll be making more here than on pateron if you can keep up with quality content.
thanks very much for your vote of confidence!
Steemit still seems to be in its infancy. Sure maybe down the line it could replace Patreon, but couldnt it replace Youtube as well? Maybe team up with the Brave team and the BAT coin and revolutionize video monetization.
Who knows what could happen.
There is https://d.tube/. I heard of this site from Steemit.

I have never been using any systems which pays out money for content before. I can thus not say which system is more profitable. I would hope however that steemit will be the number one, as this would increase the number of users and content massively.
