YouTube and Facebook Are Losing Creators to Blockchain-Powered Rivals (DTube, Steemit)
Peter “Furious Pete” Czerwinski has nearly 5 million YouTube followers, but they cannot see most of his new videos. To get access to 46 of the 71 competitive-eating and weightlifting videos he posted in the last few months, fans are using DTube.
Two-year-old Steemit has approximately 1 million accounts with 120,000 being added last month, according to Scott. Rival LBRY has about 600,000 registered users. That is far from Facebook’s 2 billion monthly users or 87 million whose data was offered to Cambridge Analytica. But Naomi Brockwell, a video creator in New York who focuses in crypto material, says she’s already generating an average of $40 a video in Steem tokens, which in You Tube could take several months. Brockwell says she needs to get options to the name-brand social networks because they get out ads on her videos.
That’s always a great headline to see! It’s a machine that will take over slow and steady! Thanks for the post!
@brettcalloway I do agree. Think also the monopoly of internet giants discourages people who find better ways of earning in other modern (crypto) systems.
Yeah that is true as most of the people are coming towards blockchain (Steemit/dtube) Coz they see profit using these
@syedihsanshah True. Blockchain technology benefits all.
It’s great that Steem is doing well, but than why is it still in “beta” after 2 years? What’s the story with that? :)
@poyim I tend to think the technology is at preliminary levels and has a long way to go nonetheless.
True ...
coz people would love to get money for likes comments and shares..

@cometomyway True. People seem to be tired of the old systems.
