This is very good for SteemIt. People are already tired of the censorship trolls on FB and YouTube. The same thing CAN happen on SteemIt, with flagging posts. However, there is no central "authority" here to prevent one groups' activities or promote a different groups activities; it's all based on money & steem power - and the consensus of the community. Whales will have a big role here - but only if that's the role they want to fill. Overall, yes, this is going to be good for the growth of our platform. Google, YouTube, and FaceBook are now their own worst enemies - they'll be chasing out a large part of the market and creating their own "fake"/one-sided communities which deny the free speech of anyone who dissents or does not accept their own ideas.
Upvoted and Resteemed.
That is why I am here and stopped making YT videos. Plus making YT videos requires wayyyy more work, it is a total grind.
I think making short Blog Posts are great for reading, and podcasts are the future for real information. I barely even watch videos on YT any more, just listen to podcasts.
On Facebook like 40% of my friends on their deactivated their accounts.
I miss Myspace, where you were able to customize your page and have music play :)
ya facebook is past its prime when it comes to social media on the internet. Time for something new.
Yup, as long as the platforms are attached to corporate boards and shareholders they will continue to have their agendas come first before the actually content creators that make these platforms so popular in the first place.
