I think its fair to say that steem it and YouTube are both very attractive platforms for creatives to use to explore, and express their art to as many people as possible. Now, its clear YouTube has played the role of a social media monopoly when it comes to watching videos online. YouTube has always been the go to website for the latest music, controversial videos, fashion, trends or even getting to know other creatives. But is that all about to end?
YouTube is great, no doubt! However, with Streemit’s level of offerings to creatives, it may sway people to come over to steemit.
One main unspoken concept of steemit which I absolutely love is that there absolutely little to none hate or negative comments. Whether it is due to users not wanting to be flagged by others or wanting to gain money through positive feedback or not, we shall never know, but either way, people can peacefully post whatever they wish and receive good feedback, which is always a plus.
YouTube’s payout is always never revealed. Yes of course youtubers post videos of what they’ve earned that month (which is only a recent trend btw), but those numbers cannot be guaranteed for another person’s account.
Steemit seems to have this constant sense of transparency. For example, it reveals exactly how much a creative is making from posting a specific post which is unheard of (from my ears anyways). Also, it allows others to estimate what type of feedback, upvotes and gain they will be able to receive from making certain posts for example, scientific, steemit or photography posts tend to have a larger audience, therefore possibly a greater payout.
