Watch Is Steemit censoring my Wikileaks-related post, or is it the Deep State? video on DTube


I signed up for Steemit about 2-3 weeks ago. I finally completed my first Wikileaks-related piece of investigative journalism after long hours of formatting on Steemit. When I hit the "post" button, I am getting the error message you can see in the video -YouTube is saying I can't post anything with brackets in the description box.

I've never posted anything before, I've only commented once and upvoted 3 times until yesterday over the past few weeks before this happened. All I have done has been formatting my article a few hours per day the past week or two in the editing box. Does anyone know when I will be able to post my first article or why this is happening? I've tried from 2 different computers over the past 24 hours and later at the library in a different part of town.

Am I being censored? It also has a lot of photos - but the post is under 64,000 max character limit - Is the file too large?This is extremely discouraging because since it is in Steemit format / Markdown I can't just post it at my blog right away because I will have to spend hours reformatting it, re-uploading pictures, etc. And I can't earn cryptocurrency on my blog. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

went ahead and replied on my youtube video you commented on, but i'll post it here as well.

Hey there! funny you comment on the day I make a DTube video, hah.

I would try splitting your video up or changing some of the markup in it (i know you mentioned the character limit, but it can't hurt to try). I don't think it's the content, and the NSA_PRISM I think is likely a joke by someone and their wireless access point.

a quick search found another guy having the same message as you with very innocent content, but an extremely long article with intense markup language in it.
