RE: singer/songwriter
You are wrong and seems like you dont have an understanding of Steemit/Steem, YouTube and more. Steemit is an user interface (UI) to the Steem blockchain. I talked about the UI in my previous comment. I stated, embed the UI code of the YouTube tracks in the post so that the YouTube UI of the track shared here is part of the post so that the reader can directly play the track without the need to leave this site. Simple as that. Here is an example, from Soundcloud
In addition, Steem blockchain is the home of DTube and DSounds. Both services that uses the Steem blockchain to record posting of video and audio files and the actually storage of those files is done to some ipfs enabled decentralised storage solution.
Wrt the remainder of your comment and your statement "lets get real here", I simple dont know what you referring to; your wavelength is not mine I suppose.
Hmm. OK. you win.
