Yes, YouTube is a sad place. I think eBay met the same fate. I started selling there 19 years ago and rarely even go there now. Auctions are removed because someone didn't like it....huge corporations get massive discounts on fees, while the little guys pay the difference in fees being raised. Same story everywhere I suppose.
I never dreamed of a place like Steemit, where you can say what you like, trade, sell, rant, whatever...and get paid a little for doing it!
Thanks @kafkanarchy84
Wow. No more auctions on Ebay!? I thought Ebay was auctions...
Yep. I had a friend who started providing some legit competition to big outlet stores on Amazon selling video games and he was booted and told the account was breaking the rules, while all the major outlet stores kept on selling using the same methods.
I never dreamed of a place like Steemit, either!
Well, the auctions are still around, but most people that I know don't use eBay much. And as a seller, I'm tired of them for sure.
