Hey @delvamaynardreid think about it like this. We pay media platforms like facebook by allowing them to mine our personal information and sell it to third party companies. We also pay them by generating the site traffic that makes the platform profitable. Further, through using the platform we expose ourselves to their paid advertising. This makes facebook a lot of money, and we will never see a dime of it directly from the platform. Should we get paid for putting our information on the internet, or should a centralized company be allowed to take the information for free and sell for a profit? Should we get paid for generating the traffic that makes a platform successful, or should we allow a company to continue fueling itself via our time and thoughts for free? Is it selfish to see the value that social media platforms have created and think, the value doesn't lie in the company behind it, but in the people who use it? I don't think that is selfish at all. In fact, I think it makes us inherently more likely to contribute productively to our community and be better people. I hope you understand what I mean in this post and can see where I'm coming from! Peace.
yes i believe we should get pay and you are right these companies are selfish hope some understand what you said and its importance its like you are everywhere and dont even know
agreed on decentralizing the world and No to YouTube, But there is still a very long long way for EOS to compete with Ethereum and it even could be impossible.
if he just put his focus on Steem we can see it around $10 or even more.
say no to any social media platform that does not:
put the control in its users
prevent censorship
conduct its business transparently
have any real value besides memes and games
Glitch
all social networking sites and messaging services! lol
yep, every user activity should be paid in the future ;)
that would be selfish, don't you t hink...

applauded
for your great comment
You are right!
Agreed 100%. We are the ones who should be getting a share. Not the platform. Like they say...we ARE the product to FB, TW and so on.
Great observation...

Here, here as long as steemit doesn't become yet another platform for celebrities to sell more crap ;) I'm with you.
This touched the my little anarchist heart!
totally right my brother!
not only to youtube.... instagram, facebook and so on....

That is only the profit perspective.
and a very short term one at that.
Crypto currencies are a opportunity. Internet money.
