RE: YouTube star Philip DeFranco is leaving YouTube and why that is good news for Steemit.com

in #youtube • 8 years ago (edited)

Just happened to post about these YouTube issues again as well today. YouTube did this to our channel years back just as we were on the verge of breaking 100,000 subscribers. It got so bad we basically gave up posting new content on our channel. If you're "in with the in-crowd", though, you can post just about any darn perverse thing you'd like...

    Was that the reason you came to Steemit?

      From my "introduce yourself" post a few months back:

      And remember this was back in 2011. We've been searching for the ideal next generation "censorship-resistant" platform ever since. In the past year alone, the censorship and banning of "dissenting opinions" is worse than ever not just on YouTube, but across all major social media. And even reaching your own subscribers has become more difficult than ever. Which, of course, gives steemit an even greater opportunity to really hit it out of the park.

      steemit (especially with upcoming busy.org), while still constantly improving, excited me as the first alternative to address censorship and monetization in an entirely new and unique way that may finally be able to compete with these entrenched far-left-leaning centralized mainstream behemoths. It even inspired me to once again test the waters, do a bit of posting, and dip my toes back in the game.

      If we can figure out the best way to adequately monetize content on a more continual basis, I think YouTube may be in for some serious trouble...

      That's fantastic, hopefully this platform can become what you hoped it to be!

      On the subject of YouTube's management "failings", if this doesn't even further make the point, while they're busy "dealing" with users that don't quite suit their "agenda"...

      Last month, YouTube lost 5 percent of its top advertisers in the US and Canada following a global uproar over its placement of ads from big companies alongside videos created by neo-Nazis and ISIS supporters.

      Speaking at the YouTube Brandcast event for advertisers on Thursday, YouTube boss Susan Wojcicki said, “We apologize for letting some of you down. We [like] can, and we will, [like] do better.”
