I was blocked on YouTube. Switching to DTube.
I'm tired of feeling like a criminal for posting about cryptocurrency
Google, Facebook and Twitter all seem to have it out for crypto users and promoters and I've been punished by all three. As some of you know, I post a lot about cryptocurrency airdrops on my airdrop spreadsheet as well as the new airdrop website. (I would link to them, but I'm sure Google would find a way to punish me for it.) So I figured, why not make a YouTube page? I've posted 2 videos about legit and completely free airdrops and I've already gotten a strike against me. I don't know if someone reported me or if Google just did a scan to screw over some fledgling crypto accounts.
Tell me what exactly I did wrong YouTube
I received less than 50 views for a video that I believe was informative and not at all scammy. It's a free airdrop and there's no ICO for you to invest in. I posted two links in my description and they say that's a problem. Most crypto videos have 5 times more links than I do. Punish this guy... or not because why do you care?
Thank god for DTube
I'll begin posting more videos on DTube. For one, they won't delete anything and I'm free to post just about whatever I want. Two, I'm not feeding an evil corporate leviathan... and I might make a couple bucks in doing so :) Hopefully DTube can generate me the massive amount of traffic my YouTube account was getting...
Thanks for reading my little rant guys!
In all honesty, it is my belief that these centralised web monopolies are inadvertently creating rods for their own backs. In the fullness of time, blockchain based more effective alternatives to their business model will rise up and beat them at their own game. That will be a fantastic day.
Today I saw a tweet from KimDotCom calling out current and former Twitter engineers to join him. I think he's got something big cooking. Twitter won't like it.
So you think they're just trying to protect their business? I got locked out of my Facebook account for posting links to my Steemit posts (in 2 Steemit related groups... that's not hardcore spamming or anything).
I read somewhere the Twitter CEO stated BTC would be the worlds #1 currency in 10 years. Via google search so it might be fake news lol.
I'm not a fan of KDC so I don't hold out hope he's gonna provide a worthy championable project - he's selfish so it won't be likely be a pro-decentralization model he works on - just a fully centralized thing most likely dressing up as a major web server to provide the same thing as them in crypto packaging. (Grossly unsupported speculation right there lol).
Anyhoo, Google/YT & FB ai needs to def be challenged, because the problem is its subjectively banning/blocking some and not all right now. The most annoying thing when you are blocked by a service is to see every other account with way more infringements still happily functioning.
Quite true on KDC - he is a businessman after all. I expect something rivaling Twitter and even FB to come out of either TRON or EOS platforms. Heck, our very own STEEMIT is already making them sweat I am sure.
Although we also need to be prepared for the censor free wild wild west.
😟 ★Nice Post!!!; 😟
We are lucky that there are some good alternatives to Youtube nowadays.
Wish you the best of luck a Dtube :)
Thanks! Decentralization FTW
