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
