RE: Steemit and the underappreciated porn star
The video and post is interesting and I don't know why you got a downvote for it. It is a well known fact that many people that tried to get into the porn industry got burned really hard, either by getting financially exploited or get infected with a STD. Steemit has a great potential to directly connect content creators and consumers without any middle man or services in between. There is so much money lost in between the engaging parties.
I took the porn industry as an entertaining example. In reality, this new paradigm can apply to any employer-employee work relationship. If a boss is getting rich off of your back, are you being exploited? Maybe. The distributed ledger has the ability to tip the scales. The challenge is to first build the infrastructure to support this type of new relationship and then affect worker's minds (admittedly, the most difficult task).
