the only beneift YT has over any other platform is alphabet's money

but even that has a limit.

you dont need money with peer to peer

steemit is bullshit

thats why I backed away from it

peer to peer will never work

sorry

not for something like this

bitchute is legit

steem isnt steemit

steem is crypto currency

steemit is front end

the benefit youtube has is very simple: userbase

i mis spoke

in my opinion I think steemit is complete bullshit, a game of hot potato

its why I backed off of dtube and steemit

somethings gotta give these sites validity

there are some channels that went all in on steemit and dtube and now they are failing baaaaad

dtube is run by kids

you have to go where the users are

else they're just catering to the most miniscule of audiences

it would taking something like pewdiepie, joerogan, franco, etc

im not going to defend dtube, Tim anyone can build on steem blockchain including yourself

no rules its a protocall

to move to the same place just to get some resemblence of movement

reality what you get is free money, printed it from the sky. just by posting a youtube embed like steemit.com/@marketreport

bitchute is better than dtube

but then again steem blockchain is only 2 years old. busy.org is much more refined already

steem has no fees... bitcoin highest fee i heard was 2000usd

i'm not sure anyone outside of pewdiepie... and even with him it's debatable... can move a large enough userbase to another platfrom to make it a viable alternative

^

it would take him and like the top 10 channels to do it

and it would have to be the same site

@I AM ERROR ok but see the history of youtube and twitch is they started with 0 zeros

and it would have to function as flawlessly as YT right out of the gate

twitch wasnt twitch it was justin.tv

people dunno history

they forget easy

I know history

who was it who tried to set up a union?

but you're not competing with YT on day 1

you're competing with YT on day today

yeah, they started at 0... everyone starting now is starting at -100

the systems are not the same one is based upon debt and the other isnt

steem has inflation @ 10%

way different

you couldn't build a model t today and expect everyone to pick that over the cheapest car

out there which I think is a mitsubishi

f**king facebook failed at actually competing with youtube...

yup

it's interesting tim thinks it's bullshit. it's kewl. but steem isn't simple as it looks. if you look at the code it's pretty brilliant. you can implent steem blockchain into any wordpress today. cant do that with bitcoin

and amazon prime is not competing verywell with netflix

plus steem is immuteable

Anyone getting the greay shirt? 😛

tim pool wants to delete his tweet he can

also tim launching a merch store without beanies is heresy

(yes I understand that' its diffucult) just saying 😄

twitter... why axactly is it filled with "have you seen this? did you miss that?" posts now? it's annoying AF.

you cant delete shit on steem blockchain

it's there till end of time.. unlike fb twitter, and centralized, aka, corrupt media

as journalist that is powerful tool

forget money or followers that is superficial today

if you want to interview someone in venezuela who survives of steemit lmk tim i'm sure they would want to tell their story even if just over discords

this was an interesting crticial look at steem, goes over a lot of its past problems and shadiness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HseuaDMmGo

tldr it has a lot of problems but crypto advocates like it because it's one of the few working real-world usages of blockchain technology

in the public

@angeryer nothing is perfect but the network isn't shady. You could have talked to the witnesses at the witness forum this morning.

Steemit / steem has cons for sure

For example delegated proof of stake means voting is weighted upon those with higher usd value. this causes bid bots to be economical. and thus promotional upvotes are sold

he goes over some issues at launch that made it seem shady, but they have fixed a lot of the past problems

but YOutube also sells for the feed dont they?

that's what I meant, not implying it's currently shady

we can see with transparency who bought who sold

there is shady elements like the bots i mentioned

but, its transparent you can eveyone who has paid for bots

steembottracker is the tool to see that data

@angeryer you are correct about launch too, steem is not distributed well currently . steemit inc has 70% of steem

so yes problems exist. Did i say go all in investing ? no. probably be wise to wait till steemit inc distrubution is lower

but the system works extremely well as from a creators / dev perspective

and the truth about dtube is they totally robbed the commuity, took 25% of everyones video earnings. and pretty much fucked off without maintaining shit.

so like i said, probably best to hold back and watch. it will evolve and legit sites will come about, get a track record of not being crappy

so tim is right about the spotty ness. but the blog side of things never went through this. it's only gotten better. steemit.com and busy.org

How's bitchute?

I really liked vidme, too bad it's gone

someone bought a kittyface shirt

$$$$

Cute

Is the Knife still trustworthy? I heard rumours about them being owned by a cult

By "the knife" I mean the news website

i think the knife is a fine source because you can fact check them and see its legit

but they are associated with NXIVM

@Deleted User i like bitchute but not sure the $$ side of it.. minds.com is interesting but they chose ERC20 . i just hate ERC20...

plus minds tokens are still worth zilch

bitchute uses torrents for backend. i do love torrents.

id say i like bitchute more if they have $$

tim can you get some mousepads or something OTHER than a mug/shirt through that?

here we go: http://www.courant.com/sports/high-schools/hc-sp-hs-transgender-high-school-athletes-0520-story.html
