RE: The Bright Side of YouTube's Demonetization Spree
Really? Demonetization a good thing? So the monetization must come from somewhere else or what happens to people's lives? Also the price for hosting is relatively cheap so what exactly does Youtube provide if not to help people monetize content?
Sure if Steemit can do better then that makes sense but? This is an opportunity to replace Youtube. Decentralized storage and hosting can exist. There is LivePeer which I heard about for instance.
Yes, rather than sitting back and letting the YouTube algorithm do all the work for us, we actually have to learn to market our own content. Pick up the phone, send out a blizzard or emails, and establish mutually-beneficial relationships with businesses that want to reach your audience. The entitlement people are showing on YouTube is very similar to the entitlement people are showing on Steemit lately. These free-to-use websites owe us absolutely nothing.
Our next video will explore some of the tools content creators can use to make their work much easier but it's important to start with the fundamentals and do some good old fashioned pitching in the beginning so that you understand and appreciate what's actually happening.
If they owe us nothing then we also owe them nothing. No loyalty required if we are rational.
True. We agree to their terms of use but besides that, we have no obligations to them whatsoever.
How about LBRY?
How can I watch an LRBY hosted video?
I think it's being released in April so not yet but it seems like it will be a cool platform. Here's a link to the site: https://lbry.io/
Definitely worth keeping an eye on.
