RE: YouTube Has Nearly Demonetized Me ENTIRELY & Other Independent Medias Are Facing The Same...

in #news7 years ago

The issue is, the computing power would have to be insane. The YouTube creators only sold YouTube to Google because they didn't have the money or computing power to keep up with the massive growth of YouTube and the amount of people using its infrastructure on a daily basis.
And as I said, we need to operate outside our bubble. Most people are not into crypto so we need to be able to educate people who aren't already educated.

Sort:  

Most people on Steemit still don't understand the difference between posting something here that gets 500 views (and that's a rockstar post) and posting on YouTube to 500,000 views. While it is about making money, it's also about building the audience and having more people see the content. You hit the nail on the head "we need to operate outside our bubble." Unfortunately, that one line tends to fall on deaf ears when you talking inside this bubble. :)

Exactly! Everyone keeps telling me to get off YouTube and go to Vid.Me or Lbry, but then only people who agree will see the videos and that completely defeats the whole point!

Release on Steemit first then youtube. getting the info a couple days early will be a good incentive to find steemit. It will be a trend because demonetization is happening to everyone.

He has to put it on YouTube first because you can't upload it directly to Steemit. And how would this help him? He would be better off putting them on Patreon first and then YouTube and then Steemit.

@joshsigurdson - YT also doesn't make any money, its never turned a profit, so any competitor has to be willing to lose 2 billion a year if they want to compete on YT scale. Only those acting behalf of the state can lose billions a year and keep at it. Unless someone else can come up with a paradigm that can compete with a competitor who shrugs off a 2 billion a year loss.
