RE: What do you think of 3speak? $50 in upvotes to be earned only today.
I'm not a big watcher of videos, especially if it's just someone talking, although I've done my own vlogs on dtube. It's largely a matter of available time. I've not put anything on 3speak and not watched much there, but when I used it performance was good.
I appreciate that it can have appeal for those 'demonetised' elsewhere, but they tend to be the sort of people I'm not interested in. Seeing the platform give them big votes is a turn-off for me.
We need alternative platforms for video to break the YouTube monopoly and I'd love to see more being done on Steem. It's not a cheap thing to run due to the amount of data involved. I wonder how viable it is with the current Steem price. I would hope that will improve.
I am not 100% sure how bad the demonetization of Youtube has become.
I would think it starts from the outer edges of content that is 'extremely offensive' but works it's way inwards until only generic content is accepted or until people simply conform to the norm.
It's a slippery slope I guess.
I hope more diverse content will find it's way to 3speak eventually.
I've had discussions with @starkerz about the political stuff. We don't agree on everything.
Most of the videos I watch online are guitar lessons. I'd love it if those were on Steem. People tend to go where their audience is. Being able to make a few dollars may not be enough of a draw if the audience is tiny.
