[dtube] HUGE YouTubers Joining Steemit/DTube - Bullish for Steem?
Over the past few weeks, a number of very popular YouTubers including the Hodge Twins & Anthony Fantano a.k.a The Needle Drop have joined Steemit and/or DTube.
This is a significant moment in the history of decentralised social media platforms. In this video I'll be discussing that and the potential impact this might have on the value of the Steem cryptocurrency too.

thanks for sharing! definitely good news!
Man dTube really needs an embed player
steemit is the way forward
the hodge twins posted at the same time as you! good times ahead for this platform!!!! please keep it coming ya'll!!!!
Furious Pete with 5 milllion subs is here as well...
@louisthomas please upload your bullish videos on steem to youtube, because the target audience is there.
this pete made one post and has not put that same post on youtube
he did get 1500 in upvotes so that might convince him, lol
SMT's are launching all throughout 2018. If any of those gain traction we'll see Steem ETH like gains from last year. I think the Steem blockchain is going exponential from the data I am seeing. Thanks for sharing.
Dtube use going exponential. $50 Steem coming?
Possibly!!!!
2018 is a Steeming year
Dtube the Bull Run Steem Roller.... dear youtube send us all your content creators we will take care of them. $100 STEEM is coming.
YEah and think about when all the big Tubers start to make there own SMT to reward there viewers :) Fly like an eagle in to the Future
Looks like Steemit could be on the verge of a major expansion, would be great for everyone involved... how about a house plant or two...a bit of greenery maybe...just a thought :)
I am happy to find the @hodgetwins Thank you I will go upvote there stuff and follow them.
Furious pete is on dtube now!
For me, more important than any sort of short term increase in value of Steem is the exposure to the concept of decentralization for new folks. The possibility that these new/high profile Youtubers can bring in people who are not familiar with blockchain technologies and expose to them by way of Steemit to what real decentralization looks like. The ability to create public content for many eyes, own the rights and 100% of the profit potential without having to worry about being censored or deleted. Steemit is a fantastic introduction to a decentralized world for people who only think of cryptos in terms of Bitcoin. This is great progress :)
Nice to Steem you @danielshortell! Totally agree with you :-) The only aspect I doubt about will be how Steemit will handle the first "ideological" conflicts which inevitably will burst among the community.
Till now the Steemians share more profile features (crypto-oriented, distrustful of external authorities,...) than the ones that could confront us. But when even political parties, churches, etc., along with their usual sophistic techniques and private agendas, will open their accounts here, it'll be a real challenge to preserve our network from "community-driven censorship", for example.
Or we insert in the Steemit blockchain a prohibition for certain categories of entities to take part?
@ijatz Those groups could also make there own busy.org like browser and only show the content they want and share in the rewards pool by building a Dapp for there community. The blockchain is like a city and many people can live in a city with out visiting each others house if they wish not to. And with the blockchain even if someone tries to hide stuff someone else can look at the naked blockchain with a viewer to see everything. Interesting to think about.
Hello @allowisticartist, many thanks for your comment! I'll have to take a in-depth look a the Dapp option you mention, cause I'm lacking information on it. It perhaps could constitue a way to build the "SteemCyclopedia" I'm trying to trigger a debate about (if you can cast a glance at the proposal, here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@ijatz/steemcyclopedia-a-steemit-based-wikipedia, and leave any hint around the most efficient "how" to launch such a project, I'd be highly grateful for it :-)).
And I share your vision about the blockchain as a city, a large and diverse enough city to give shelter and its "vital space" to all communities. BUT it's quite probable that in this Steemit city, some actors, due to their "mind colonizing" inherent trends and incapacity to limit their greed to their native community, began behaving more like gangs, gradually crunching others territories and vital spaces, than respecting nice neighbouring protocols ;-)
Then they can build on the EOS.io platform like the https://everipedia.org/ project with there IQ token they airdropped on the EOS token hodlers. I think the eos blockchain may be a better suited for this project than the STEEM blockchain. Just by the nature of the way the tokens lock up the storage space on EOS and such. Techincally one could build it on STEEM and yet it is life right now and will have a much wider audience on eos.io
I am not sure how to deal with the gang issue you refer to on the concept of the blockchain as a city. I think steem is just the first in a long long line of platforms that will allow communities to grow and prosper on there own different chains. I just see it hard to beat eos so I think the witness will end up running steem on the eos platform. Thanks for the reply and I hope the link provided can help you in your idea of a pedia on STEEM at least to see how someone else is approaching the solution, oh the co-founder of Wikipedia is on the Everipedia.org project.
Yep, yep, yep, I hear you loud and clear. I am relatively new here and just last night I was learning more about the flagging system and this is the exact same thought I had. Community censorship as you refer to it will certainly need a very nuanced and elegant algorithm to kill the clear cut bullshit, but leave the regular ol bullshit (ie: that other asshole's opinion...hhahhha)
Generally speaking, I'm just not comfortable with the idea of prohibition of ideas as I'd like to think (in a perfect world of course) that the most meritorious ideas will float like cream (I realize this is a very naive stance). We'll see, but the point you are making is critical.
