Is JUMPING THE YouTube SHIP To the STEEMIT SHIP Only For Financial Channels?

Like many others I'm seriously fed up with the Youtube games. Demonetizing videos and censuring channels with various politically incorrect content has become the norm over at Youtube and it looks like they are slowly pushing content creators in the corner in order to promote more network type programming. YOU being YOUTUBE is no longer about YOU. It's about network approved programming.

So I hear about SteemIT and my channel makes the jump. My channel content is about our family who made the move in 2012 to live off grid. Yup! This post is powered by the sun. We have limited solar power and no utilities other than a phone line (DSL) that we power ourselves. Our Youtube channel has over 45,000 subs and we've never had a down month. Because of some of the questionable content we post concerning firearms, raising livestock and homeschooling, Youtube has flagged our videos multiple times. So SteemIT is a chance for a new hope and fresh start.

But once we made the bounce over to SteemIT, it was obvious that most of the site is about finances and crypto-currencies. Does homesteading off grid really have a chance to fit in here? We are people who disconnected from the grid. We actually broke away from the system that is designed to not ever allow you to break away. I have not had an electric bill in 5 years. I have not had a water bill in 5 years. I have not had a sewer bill in 5 years. We are detached.

Breaking away from the dollar is just one way to break away. Those who choose to leave the debt based currencies behind have a brotherhood with those who have broken away from the system in other areas. Why only go so far with the disconnection from the monetary system? The truth is the system still has a hold on you. It controls you. You pay homage to it every day with your continued participation in its services whether you pay for it with crypto-currencies, fiat dollars or even gold and silver.

Raising your own food, producing your own energy and creating your own utilities is a better way to break from the system that enslaves us with debt and death. I'm not talking about 100% sustainability. Even the American pioneers 200 years ago traded and made purchases of raw items to survive. But they had a much deeper grasp on the meaning of freedom, true freedom than we do today.

So we can talk all we want about the destruction of the dollar or the rise of crypto-currencies or even the market manipulation of precious metals all we want. We know it's about preparedness. But when you push preparedness to its full and logical conclusion, you're going to end up with modern homesteading.
