I QUIT YOUTUBE ! - officially moving to 3speak on steem
I just live-streamed this 9 minute video to my YouTube channel which I will no longer use... I'm NOT ONLY leaving because of people getting banned, democratized, and so on. I am leaving because YOUTUBE is an ADDICTION and their algorithm is fucking evil.
So many of the millennials I've met are depressed and suicidal, and we all know WHY. Most of them, including me, are addicted to either YT, IG or FB.
Just look at the last video I posted on 3speak, I look like a zombie, you know why? I made that video after spending 24h straight, binge watching YT!
I'm ready to admit to myself that I have a problem and I want to make this public confession.
3speak is like a gift from God, I can now watch my 2 favorite content creators @crypto-daily and @theycallmedan without having to risk being brainwashed by worthless videos on YT tingling my curiosity and addiction.
And best of all, I can feel safe that my hard work will never be banned from this platform or be demonetized.
What's your biggest internet addiction? What will you do to stop it and make your life better?

Good move!!
Youtube seriously does not like normal content creators. They seem more focused on tutorials, education etc and not entertainment and crypto. If you fall into those other categories they don't like then yeah youtube sucks. However if you fall into marketing, tutorials and investing you will make more money there then anywhere else.
Education!? More like "Programming"
Boycott Google.
All of it.
It is incorrect to say that D.Tube ditched Steem. The platform is still on Steem and posts, as long as one is signed in with the Steem account, will be posted as always. There is an additional layer since they do have a sidechain which allows them greater flexibility such as paying out past 7 days.
Great explanation and DTube is awesome!

Thanks for the courage to admit your truth. I recently wrote a post about Etika and suicide which you might find interesting.
Etika Reminder Suicide is Not a Panacea
I hope you seek help as you need it; and stand by your decision to walk away from social media for a time. It's important to control things, and not let things control you.
Etika alluded to being consumed by social media in his 'farewell' video.
I totally get your feeling of burnout. I can imagine how devastating it is to grow a YT success only to have it shut down, especially at the millennial stage.
Stand your ground against things that are attempting to 'own' you.
Peace.
I am totally nervous about this situation and being tied about Youtube is doing with their platform. I cannot imagine what exactly they are in for. After all man is bound to make mistakes, and after that when he admits he stands to be corrected. I am really sorry about this disappointment on the part of Youtube. However, you have all the quality time to spend with us here on @threespeak! Cheers and have a great day!
@nicholaslive, Definitely these addictions towards the Centralised Social Media Platforms is so real because of their Algorithms and they designed it in a way that people cannot stop using it.
Welcome to the Decentralised world and have a wonderful journey ahead. Stay blessed.
Great to have you here on Steem <3 , Feel right at home. Quite Sure You Will Grow Your Channel Considerably fast given we are a community of likeminded individuals. Also, your loyal followers can follow you here with their other social media accounts so that's a WIN :)
Welcome to @threespeak, welcome home man! :) And thanks for being so open, online addiction (of all kinds) is a huge problem of this generation and I appreciate that you have the balls to talk about it so openly. I think you made a great choice by leaving Youtube and coming here, especially if you are going to engage in all those awesome projects and people of our community ;) The world of Steem is amazingly diverse and fulfilling and I am sure it will have a positive effect on your personal life. Welcome home again.
YouTube has so many optimization rules that you have to abide by or your content will be kicked to the curb. 3speak offers so much more freedom.
Good riddance to youtube. Wow 24 hours straight, I can see how that happens though with the videos in a constant streaming que. My biggest internet addiction is steemit lol. I probably spend way too much time on here really.
