5 Reasons Why Steemit is Better than YouTube

In this video, I'm gonna be sharing 5 reasons why I love Steemit, the decentralised content platform that utilises the Steem cryptocurrency.

nice work my young brother

Building a following on Steemit maybe much, much more profitable over the long-run, as every follower you get, or at least some percentage of your following, will be giving you upvotes for years to come.

That is not the case with Youtube, FB & Twitter, where your followers don't get compensated for commenting and viewing your material, and they are also forced to watch ads so you can make money.

Steemit makes it financially beneficial for both content creators and viewers/commenters!! Bid difference right there!

I'm with you, and there's no doubt about the degree of it's potential. Though I think we must also be honest and continue to improve its functionality. We need to implement/integrate [live]streaming, along w/ many other animations/features.

It can & will serve us much better than typical platforms. There is so much work to do :-)

Dtube has a lot of potential, but cannot be compared right now with Youtube. IMO. Let's hope in the future this will change 😉

Well done Louis! I always appreciate your words :-)
I think we see eye to eye when it comes to Steemit & the unfortunate censorship of mainstream outlets (e.g. YouTube, Google, etc). I think we have a hell of a shot to overcome the monopoly.

You are doing it, we are doing it. Let's keep it up!

There should excist a youtube blockchain that works the same as steemit. Where you get money when people upvote your video. This way you would not be so dependend on advertising... I bet a youtube blockchain would rock. I would invest in it...

Great video Louis! The only thing we need here is an official app.

yes an app will be so good. I find myself wanting to be on steemit many times when i am away from my computer.

I saved the site to my phone home screen and it acts the same way an app would its just a little more awkward than say facebook/twitter. You also get 0 notifications. 😔 lol

Thank you for talking about Steem ;) The best place for bloggers.

Steemit is not perfect though. Big Steem Power hodlers can downvote you. Your content does not disappear but it is less visible. Could lead to gigantic wars of downvotes in the future XD

So you earned more money on Steemit than on youtube.

Nice to see you are paying more attention to the Steem blockchain. Next step will be to realize Steem is actually better than Bitcoin. Say what?

Anyways, you are still in time to book a ticket for SteemFest 2 in Lisbon, early November. Could be an interesting conference for a content provider!

@ned and @dan know this of course. They describe the masses of "bitcoin maximalists".
Time will tell but it's bound to swing better than it is right now.. at some point we won't recognize STEEM for what it is today; it's going to be an interesting ride..

I totally agree with your arguments @louisthomas. I've been using Steemit for a while now and it has a lot of potential. There are other platforms like Ong.Social that looks really good too, better UI and more responsive. Keep doing a great job. Love your content 😉
