My LAST Youtube Video? 📷 ~ FREEING My Subscribers! You don't have to be held hostage anymore!
The Freedom of the Blockchain
That's what Youtube does. Facebook does the same thing. You work really hard to produce good content and win over your audience. Your viewer decides to reward you with the most precious gift they can give, a click on your "subscribe" button.
But then, Youtube decides to hold your new sub hostage and only show them your content when the algorithm THINKS they will like it. The rest of the time, Youtube pummels your new subscriber with network programming or only content it deems worthy of viewing.
Do you hear that sound? It's the sound of a giant sucking vacuum that is being created by the rising anger of creators not able to reach their audience unless they use click bait titles and thumbnails and never stray from the politically correct guidelines set by Youtube. It's the sound of boiling frustration on Youtube and Facebook by authors and developers who can't access their fans unless they pay fees.
IT'S BOILING INTO STEEM!
And its rising...up and up so high that many are seeing this cloud of hot freedom and running toward it.
I'm just a small Youtube channel with 46,000 subs compared to many others on Youtube. But I love the promise of the blockchain and what it can mean for creators of good content. I'm excited to hopefully be a part of the SteemQ ( @furion ) launch when it happens.
Nature abhors a vacuum. It will fill it. What will fill this particular vacuum? We will have to wait and see but I'm placing my bets on STEEM!

Very excellent video! The power of the resteem? Let's try that.
You've made a lot of good points, and I was blessed watching it. I'll be up on Monday, you can private message me in https://steemit.chat or I'll just shoot you my phone number in a private wallet message.
Let's plan on a few fun projects to create a little content together too!
Got my vote in. Thanks.
Good to hear, and thanks for the support. Looks like @mericanhomestead and @papa-pepper will be meeting uo next week, so that could produce some great content too.
thnx papa-pepper is found this post through following you here - i am keen to move all my followers over here too
Wow! Thanks sounds like a good idea. As far as options online right now, I think that steemit is the best one, so why not tell others about it?
i shared about steemit on facebook tonight and i hope a few will start following me into here -- glad to be here myself too
Yeah I think we can come up with all kinds of ideas. I got to go out and do a video this morning but will be back later and will message you on the chat. THANKS!
Hi @papa-pepper and @mericanhomestead. I am new to Steemit, but trying to learn. Here is one of my Steemit entries:

Thank you!
how do you do a private wallet message?
Put a # before the text.
Seems like all other social media platforms will soon be wondering where everyone is at! #Steemit!
You Tube--Another example of greed and what happens when you make changes for personal gain while not taking into account what and who made you who you are. I used to work for a company that always made changes just for the sake of change. Sometimes people are ok with it and sometimes not. I'm glad to see people standing up for their rights and personal freedoms. More people need to join the fight to keep personal content alive. Great video as always. Thanks!
Thanks! The market will decide what will work and what will not. People love freedom and will eventually realize when someone is placing constraints on them.
It's astounding to see the increasing influx of YouTubers onto the Steem platform... Looks like a lot of the smart money is headed here. Congratulations on finding the courage to make this move.
Thanks for the congrats! Really excited to begin making the move. Lots of potential here.
Agreed! Thanks for being a pioneer on here and in so many other ways. Love your videos and I will be following your suggested leads on here too!
Well said!
raincountry. Just checked out your site and like your content. Going to follow you.
Thank you!
Spot on, 100%! We're cross-posting between various platforms for now, but when SteemQ launches (ahem, @steemq ), we may just post there exclusively.
I'm totally there with you! I will cross platform post until I can post exclusively at SteemQ
Any news on when this is supposed to happen? Not sure I really want to get our channel started on youtube if I'm just going to turn around and move to steemq
This was your best video yet, I new fan... Followed :)
THANK YOU!
Thank-you for promoting Steemit more!
You are doing a great job and I hope that more people listen to your advise to move on over here.
We need more people like you.
Thank you canadian-coconut! Getting ready to head over to your page and read your latest post.
Cool video! Just one thing, you should say those who buy crypto are looser because it's not true. Those who buy will do a lot more money than those who only earn through blogging. Plus if they lose money it means your crypto are going down in value and that's not a good thing. All in all good video. I gave you an upvote.
Yeah totally right. I guess a lot of people view crypto as more of a gambling chip at a casino rather than actual currency you can buy groceries with. I guess what I'm trying to say when something is earned, it has more of an intrinsic value than something that is simply bought. Does that make sense?
I agree. That make sense. That's clearly the perception of people.
Woo! I just signed up & getting going on Steemit. Thanks @mericanhomestead for sharing this! I have never been on the front lines of technology so to be part of something like this as it's growing and gaining steem is really cool!
Welcome aboard the steem train! Glad to have you here!
In my years of service I've learned a few things on how succeed, survive and eventually lead. The first is in a new situation or environment find the self made leader and shadow them till you learn. I've watched you on the tube for years and followed you here.
I would stand beside you brother.
BTW years on the tube I've only made three replies total . Weeks on Steem and this is the first .
Outstanding! Thanks for the vote of confidence. It means a lot.
It was because of you that I started on Steemit. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Of course I'm following and upvoting you, you're one of my favorites!
Happy to help and I'm glad you are here! You are appreciated!
i am moving over too and will be leaving youtube -- i havent made a new post there for years since they ripped me off for my advertising income --anyway nice to meet you and i am now following you and upvoted you here and now .. all the best -David
I totally understand. I see how messed up YT is becoming. Some of the creators don't care and will take their licks as long as a few crumbs get tossed their way. Not me. I won't be censured!
