Steemit is an open-source, community-based website that pays you for interacting with it.
By voting or liking posts, posting original content and, well basically, doing what you already do on sites like Facebook or Reddit...where they make all the money through ad revenues based on content you're uploading...here at steemit you can earn money...so instead of advertising revenue going into the hands of corporate shareholders, content creators get what's called Steem, Steem power and Steem dollars. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth breaks it down and explains how the technology behind steemit could be a major game changer for how social media sites operate.
I see Facebook and YouTube somewhat like brutal dictators that use the masses to profit financially. Okay, maybe not quite as bad, and at least YouTube will compensate you if you generate enough traffic. However, as we all know, both Facebook and YouTube will censor your content in a heartbeat.
Yeah - looking forward to seeing advances in dtube
