Can Steemit become an ACTIVISM platformfor real change? [dTube]
I had an interesting interview with Gordon Whitman about the most effective ways for activist to achieve change, and I couldn't help but wonder whether Steemit as a platform is something that could help activist grow and succeed. Let me know your thoughts in a reply after check out the video!

You're clearly on the right path!
absolutely. Especially if you are clever with how you brand it, making sure that you do some footage to document your work and market it as "powered by STEEM" or "enabled by d.tube", etc.
Some work like this has already been done by @surfermarly . You can check out some of her work in her presentation at SteemFest2 last year here:
Maybe someone you can take on your show? ;)
But yes, activists who do great work with STEEM as a platform can expect some rewards, especially if it also helps to promote STEEM in a good way. As Marly argues in her talk: Considering how cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin still have this negative reputation of being a currency for drugs and black markets, why not make STEEM stand out by doing great work with it?
I agree completely.
We need a proper way for indexing videos uploaded on Dtube, I can't scroll past a certain number of my uploaded videos and to reach an old one, uploaded within the past 3 months only, I have to find the relative steem post on the blog page by also scrolling down to find it. The search bar isn't helpful. Need to find a search bar with option to search in own videos and posts and in all the site. Current search searches the whole web.
Also I noticed that some old videos I've uploaded are not playing anymore and one of them I had to upload again as it became completely idle not loading at all!
I know the limitation of uploading new videos and posts but I don't see when I have to slow down before my bandwidth limits are exceeded?
Last, the thumbnail for showing the snap photo of the video within the steemit blog, but when inserting in a WordPress blog it's showing fine.
Other than that it would be a perfect alternative to YouTube.

One more thing: Is this normal?
l have the same probleme uploading video
Until now? If it's still then wait until Dtube has less traffic when the USA is sleeping.
I agree completely with your thoughts. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for your sharing @fredrikaa and @davidpakman.
I think STEEM is the best way for activists.

I'd like to piggy back off that comment and thank you as well. Still quite new here, but finding the right people to follow based on posts like this one. Cheers...
One of the problems with Twitter (aside from myriad of other glaring problems) is how politicized people's timelines have become. There's too much activism at the expense of anything else. It's okay to be political, it's okay to have causes you're passionate about, but you need that balance, that diversity. If we find ourselves too weighted in one area, we all suffer.
yep, this is the issue of echo chambers as a result of algorithms on social media. very good point.
Truth be told, it's one of the reasons why I joined Steemit. I wanted to get away from all the political rhetoric.
Nice logo, by the way. I like it!
I've seen a lot of media platforms in my years, and I think that Steemit has more potential than most (or any) due to its use of blockchain technology that prevents censorship (which I view as the major obstacle to the free exchange of information in the near future - if not the present).
Whether the mechanism is artificially created outrage over, "fake news" or "hate speech" or "Russian propaganda" or anything else, every lever of power in the world has a vested interest in controlling the flow of information. The internet has been the first mechanism in history people from around the world have had to exchange information in a free and unfettered (and, importantly, unmoderated) manner on a global level. The people in power have taken note and are doing everything in their power to crack down. Steemit could very well be one of the important answers to preventing the stifling of free expression.
BRAVO. Well said.
Steemit is a great plateform for Authors and Curators.
My objective on steemit is to be a better Curator.
This is gonna need a lot of Steem Power.

Yes it can, and it's already doing it here in Venezuela where 1 Steem can really make the difference, people are organizing themselves and growing up communities to help people spread the world, Steemit is not a game changer, is a life changer if we use it properly!
