I didn't know Ben Swann before Dash started funding his project (I'm part of the Dash community, so that's how I heard about it), but it's super exciting and an important step to decentralize media and promote truth over more fake news.
Happy to see he's here now, this will help him bring in even more funds - I'm sure many people will follow him. I'll hit that follow button right after I finish my comment here.
And kudos to you for inspiring him to try out Steemit/Dtube again!
