Steemit vs Yours: an animation
I got an email invite to the Yours blogging platform. I had a look, obviously, I was already feeling quite sneery before even looking because I am a Steemit man.
The first time I attempted to look at it the site was down. The second, some time later, I managed to see it.
Hot diggety, it's rubbish. The UI is awful. It uses Bitcoin Cash??!! I couldn't see much in the way of images.
Finally, hilariously, Steemit has often been mocked for the amount of crypto articles in it. Well, over half of Yours looked to be crypto related. And not even good crypto like the articles here.
It inspired the following!
I tried to post something for test...
But it is not so easy :D To post, you need to cash in first, YES! You need to pay, and they only support crypto now:
So... they limit their market only to people, which already have crytpo, which also are going to pay for posting.
Do you know what? I think I am going to buy more STEEM, because competition of Steem... is going nowhere.
Yes, having to deposit crypto to then pay crypto to post is quite the nonsense!! Steemit has nothing to fear from this. Not even slightly!
You were lucky you manage to log in, their server is down an awful lot. :0)
LOL. How do they thin they can even compete against Steemit with that kind of rule in place :D
What a joke hahaha!
hahaah Yours makes you PAY for fucking blog poists! u see a PREVIEW of a BLOG and u get to PAY fucking like 10 cents or a dolal ror five bucks who knows hahha here on steemit all content is free and if u have the money u get to contribute with ur steempower and upvote and curation system of steem blockchain is a TOTALLY different level than the pathetic mes of a project known as "Yours" all hype NO structure NO technology just a fucking Openbazaar but with bitcoin cash hahaha they HAD peopel paying Litecoin for posts and u have to PAY to SEE the webpage its CRAZY noone would EVER wanna use it
we have NOTHING to worry about yours is a complete failure and Steemit is SERIOUS Yours is basically a failed project where the money was probobly just raised and spent and they had to create something and they thought they could compete with steemit and they found out how difficult it is to actually putll off a project like steemit!
Few of us are even worthy of using Steemit, honestly! its SO advanced noone really knows how it all works or VERY few can explain how it ALL works because VERy few people can even explain how a Blockchain works and even less know how the inner workings of a website work, its a very small community iof peopel who APRECIATE Steemit and steem blockchain and its model of Delegated Proof of Stake to avoid the energy costs of Proof of Work with Bitcoin and that Steem used tio be #3 Crypto currency under bitcoin and Ripple for a REASON and steem was thouight to have the potnetrial to outgrow Bitcoinw hen it cam eout, and now that steem has the users and the content we will SEE that stee,m WILL outgrow biotcoin!
I agree!
I reckon they were full of fancy ideas and when it came to the crunch they realised how difficult it was and in the end just threw something out there!
Steemit FTW!
Right?! :D That's so funny LOL!
I was looking into it and I did an interview a long time ago with Ryan X. Charles........I like Ryan, but when it became obvious that he was sticking with paywalls, well, my interest faded. The other thing, it sounds like you have to pay ten cents to post? is that correct?
That's absolutely correct from what I saw. You have to pay to post and also pay to view someones post being the teaser four or five lines.
It seemed really counter-intuitive and the paywall part really backward. Definitely nothing to see there
I do believe it was a post of yours I read that first put me onto it way back last year!
It was during the big whale wars, and a mass exodus of people leaving steemit, that I began looking around......
The one thing I still think is possible: Medium might eventually figure it out, and they already have the best writers.....if they manage to adopt some technology, or start over with DPOS, I think it could succeed......it's really dicey right now, as Medium is starting to pay its writers, but not all of them...
dude you needto write a Parody of teh Whale Wars using characters you can create to avoid talking about real life people XD it would be so funy to have the early drama in a comic claled whale wars but u gotta REALy do it rioght and make it FUUUNNNYYY posts aboput steemiut that THE MOST peopel can relate to XD
dude DPOS is so revolutionary so crazy how the paradigm shift is REAL but people dont wanna believce it or ackneoplwdge the fact that steem is pAYINg riters without needing payroll or someone to pay them! they made thir own money printing press but by keeping the steempower its proving its worth and man the system is SO advanced and i am glad it is decentralized and can never really be shut down
Steemit in china will allow the chinese to avoid govermment censorship and steemit will CHANGE Chinaand bring free speech more creatiovity etc! it will bea NEW DIGITAL RENAISSANCE for china with steemit!
Hehe, I think I will duck out of that one. I have no doubt I could make it funny but sometimes it's best letting the past stay in the past!!
I remember those wars well. I was checking out everything that you were!
I thought about looking at medium ages ago. Should give it a chance, I think someone posted something bad about them which might have put me off.
I always thought you went to Synereo. Oh wait, that never was a real site..
I know Craig Wright is posting articles on Yours. He needs to get over here!
He does, you are the person to get him here. How could he resist!
Yeah rmember I showed you and Also i sjhowed @klye how yours is bullshit u PAY to post AND to READ a post u pay like 10 cents or $1 or fibve dolars or god knows how much to download a freakin webpage XD its trash pure garbage created out of jelous for steemit
people will never want to usee Yours we have NOTHING to worry about hahah steem is special noone will be able to have anything like it without a hardforkj of the steem blockchain itself sio you would have to actually make your own steemit using steem blockchain code to have anything like it and very few competitors will ever rise up to compete with steemit!
the ONLY competitor steemit has is not even real and is only a potential unlikely competiotor which is reddit and Facebookj if they EVER decide to implement a crypto currency like how reddit almost did but canceled with their reddit Notes cruypto currency program which would have made reddit like steemit but no curation or decentralization just having the dogecoin walet as integrated part of the reddit website but its never gonna happen because they were planning on giving milliosn fo dollars they raised to streddit users and they never will haha
Wow! This is super cool.. How the hell did you do this anime? 😊😊😊😃😃
You could help me do some in the future man, I'd love to work with you!
Hehe, On my phone with an android app flipaclip :O)
Am sure that many competitors will copy steemit platform however we have a big community here and growing-therefore many will come but only One Steemit will reign as the king of social media that pays bloggers and we havent even finished with the updates yet...keep steeming to more success bud. Good post, always.
A very good point, the updates are still a coming and we have a great community already here.
You should check it out. Its pretty awful looking
Great, pls send me the link so that I will laugh at them hahahaha
yours.org. Its a masterclass in rubbish :OD
yours.org looks so childish haha
It does!!
Time will act as a filter. On Steemit only quality, pertinent and good content earns.
Good point...steemit is the best
One of these days, STEEM Prince would meet a worthy adversary, but Yours is not it. It seems its strategy is to try and get the power players here on Steemit so that they could go off to a running start. It's a bit misguided since the ones they're trying to poach are the ones that have already established a good rep on STEEM. Why the hell would you guys jump ship now and start over from scratch, right!?
Yours should really get a new gun haha!
I noticed a few steemians on it. Not earning much. I wonder if anyone is gonna rage quit it lol
Yours's gun is quite feeble. Certainly compared to the glorious Prince of Steem!
Any reputable whales in there? You know, I wouldn't be surprised if minnows or even dolphins jump ship and try to get a leg up there. It's so hard to penetrate the upper echelons here nowadays, so I get their reason for switching sides. Who knows, maybe I have an account there and have just changed my username to mask my identity haha! Who knows? Do I know? Wait, do I have a whale account there!?
Mines's gun isn't feeble! Maybe your... Oh wait, you're talking about Yours. Yeah, it's kind of... limp. I swear I heard an audible wenk weeeenk went the bullet went down before the Prince of Steem's loud KABOOM!
Oho so now we know!
Your a damn whale elsewhere!!! That explains your casual disregard for rewards here.
I don't think anyone will get much if they jump ship, the payments were tiny or zero. I'd they jump ship from here to there I would eat my proverbial hat!!
Oh yeah of course! If I was just basing all my earnings on what I make here I would've rage quitted (again) a long time ago. Alas, I have powers beyond the greatest of whales here elsewhere. Heck, when I rise from my bed I look like a beached whale! Oh, wait a minute..
I have similar powers when I arise!!
Nonsense of course, when I rise people are blinded by my radiance.
That's right. I am the SUN
Oh I could attest to that. Whenever I read your posts I always wear sunglasses.
The SUN will have a SON soon.
Isn't that a bizarre prophecy, when there are two sun's or some such tosh.
I shall have to tread carefully
excellent animation dear friend @meesterboom
as time goes by they will appear some platform equal to steemit, that's good it means that this is working and others want to experience success.
Animations are my favorite, congratulations for the good work, dear friend.
I wish you a beautiful week
I am glad they are you're favourite and that this one has tickled your fancy!! Some proper competition will be good. I suppose what we have seen from yours is that it is harder to be a rival than it looks!
Animation is the real masterpiece in this post.
Well done
Well thank you very much!
Hey buddy, this is awesome!
It's not bad at all eh!! :0)
YES, look at this go!!
'Yours' has a particular usefulness- something for steemians to ban together over :) I predict many Yours bashing posts :)
I predict exactly the same. Nothing bands folk together like a shared contempt! :OD
