I'm one of those small content creators. One of the factors motivating me to get started on Steemit was when YouTube demonetized my channel because it had fewer than 10,000 views. Although I'd only earned about 1 cent in ad revenue at the time, I felt that just as my channel was starting to gather momentum, YouTube was changing the goalposts.
Sure enough, my channel recently hit the magical 10,000 views number, but now once again it is no longer eligible for ad monetisation because the goalposts have been changed again.
I want to start broadcasting on Dtube, but can't get it to work... yet. I haven't really had time to concentrate on it. Too many other things going on in my life. Constant distractions.
But I am so grateful to YouTube for pushing me in the direction of Steemit. Thanks YouTube! And bye bye!
