With all the drama going on in the Steem world, I have been exploring other options.
Right now a solid one is LBRY]. Just recently they made it even better by finishing up LBRY.tv and account linking. I checked it out a little over a year ago, and at the time it was a bit rough. But they have been doing wonders since then. (I still got the emails from the subscription of their mailing list and have been following along.)
LBRY.tv is as easy if not easier than youtube.
The thing that got (and I wish I would have thought to do it) is uploading markdown as a file (since it's mostly file service) and using the app to read them. It comes out looking as good as any other Markdown renderer (Which steem Condensor does too)
The only downside is no curation or rewards from the posts, other than tips, BUT you can put a post or image or video or any other file for that matter behind a paywall.
Anyway, if you want to check it out my channel is thecrazygm or in the app at thecrazygm (if the link works in steem)
Unfortunately, videos on LBRY.tv take forever to load for me. I don't think I'm ready to go back to having to pause videos & wait for them to buffer. I'm so used to videos automatically playing completely through on the first go.
Yeah, it's not without its issues but I have seen it grow before it was a clunky mess of an app, now it's cleaned lean (my android app is a bit bugged)
I can't wait for the markdown editor. I will likely be making a full move away from steem at that point
Oh man that would make things a lot easier if it had an in-app text editor at a bare minimum
That is the word from LBRY people have said. Is it is on the way soon
