RE: The underlying power of the Steem blockchain - parallel social media engine
I see. That's so interesting! And saying that "everybody is a shareholder" must mean that the information people are pouring here on Steemit is becoming some sort of the currency of investment. This could be the powerful thing about this platform as people get rewarded in terms of the value of information they present. Such rewards system would also propel the future of this platform. :D
I bet that once a lot of users migrate across from youtube the government will crack down on Steemit some how and find a way to force censorship. Youtube started off as a platform for free speech and has now become yet another mainstream leftist propaganda outlet. You can see this in the trending page with all the Left Wing comedians trending. You will never see a an anti-feminist trending on youtube for example. Even though we know those channels get a lot of views.
I see what you mean and its an important note that regulation over media censorship has already been in tact for quite a while now. And as an addition to what you've said, the government might even be more interested in the money making matters here on Steemit as monetary value of information is readily shown to public. However, given the type of content and information here on Steemit is clearly dictated by the curating environment the platform has in place, that is Markdown, which is dominantly text. I don't think Steemit would aim to be the next video storage and streaming social platform.
I hope so. I have high hopes for steem to replace youtube and facebook. Google and Zuckerberg have had a monopoly on those types of platforms for too long.
For Steem to really take off it should make more of a video based platform similar to youtube but without the censorship and leftist bias in trending etc. Most people don't want to sit and read articles all day.
I will do my best to try and get the word out there that there is a much better alternative to youtube.
Awesome. Sounds like a noble work. But hey, the possibility is endless. :)
