RE: TJ KIRK COMES TO STEEMIT AND D.TUBE

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Welcome TJ. You've got my follow, as I've enjoyed your videos for some years now. It's a big help that Steemit's revenue doesn't come from ads, because a big part of what has increasingly shaped Youtube content into optimized inoffensive, flavorless beige paste over the years are the demands of advertisers who somehow expect compelling content that offends absolutely nobody, anywhere.

That is of course an absurdity and an impossibility. Besides which the video only format of Youtube unnecessarily constrains the type of expression. With any luck that will equal substantially greater growth potential, less in the way of samey clickbait 10.1 minute videos and more writing, music, photography and other media types which require an attention span in excess of what the average ten year old possesses. In a very real sense, Steemit includes the best of Imgur, Soundcloud, Inkitt and Youtube with few of the drawbacks.

I've enjoyed a great deal of success already simply posting my short stories here. I won't pretend quality content is all it takes, as ever there's a huge luck factor involved, but you have the benefit of a pre-existing fanbase most of which will likely follow you over to Steemit. I have no doubt you'll find this site a better fit. I know I did.

I have run FFRnews on Youtube for a number of months now and the demonetization and straight censorship is out of control. If you want to know the truth about a society, study who you can say negative things about and who you cannot say negative things about. That will tell you where power is truly held. The narrative we hear from the establishment is that right learning white males hold institutional power. Yet it is far left progressives who control all information. They control social media, the mainstream media, Hollywood, and academia.
