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?
that video is nuts
just fyi
heres one for you btw
