to answer your question youtube at this point is a moneygrubbing soul sucking factory. But the steemit platform and steem sells it self or was conceptualised to be something better . this is why so many of us Flocked here and this is why even after seeing what a great mass of people is doing to it stay here because we still believe we might be able to bring it to it's potential. But putting ones head in the sand and ignoring the elephant that is not only in the room but sitting on our chest is not only stupid but cowardly. Nothing changes if one does not point out what needs to be changed and yes agreed nothing changes by talk alone. But those of us who care and that are still fighting still need to raise our voice or the efforts we make to counteract the mainstream trends will end up being the equivalent of a dung beetle trying to move a semi truck. In the discord forums these discussions have reached several shit posters that start seeing how their actions affect the platform so yeah i am putting it out there, sorry if you dislike it or if all you got out of it was that i am a lazy slob that does nothing. Truth is however that Steem is at a crossroads and we need more people with clout to do something and influence the culture in a better direction or new comers like Ono will become facebook and steem will end up like myspace - mark my words ...
