STEEM Will Continue To Benefit From YouTube's Mistakes
I have been on YouTube since 2008 and have other channels that are monetized. I don't have any strikes against any of my channels and as you can see at the top of the screenshot I'm "Partner Verified." I applied for monetization on this channel almost a month ago. I had met all the criteria and I'm still waiting. I almost have 2,000 subscribers on that channel. There shouldn't be an issue.
When you click on Learn More it says, "We'll email you a decision, usually within a week.
Applications for the YouTube Partner Program are taking longer than normal to process. We hope to be able to review these applications soon. Thank you for your patience in the meantime."
I almost don't expect to hear from them anytime soon. So many people have gotten their channels demonitized and they seemingly aren't letting new people in at a very fast rate.
I like the YouTube platform and there is a good community out there but the Adpocolypse is continuing on. I want to get to 500,000 subscribers by the end of 2008 on this channel but it gets frustrating if I can't monitize it with the ads.
I believe that STEEM will be a honey badger taking a bite out of Facebook, YouTube, Instagram......etc. The smartest thing those companies could do is launch their own Crypto Currencies to do the same thing. They probably won't anytime soon though.

Thank you for reading my post and please consider following me @brianphobos
I am waiting to monetize my youtube channel as well. They are dropping the ball for me too. I got my 10k views at the end of November, and youtube still hasn't got back to me yet. Same message. In the mean time, my steemit account is worth $3,000.00 BOOM! LOL
Wow, that sucks that it is happening to you as well. It is ridiculous because I see so many crap channels on there that are all stolen content.....etc and they will be monetized and guys like us can't get approved. You would think it would be an automated process on an account like mine where I already have verified Adsense account attached to other channels.
Hey cap, same here
@brianphobos hey thanks for the Steem tip brother! I wish you well for 2018 and being a really cool dude on here!
Your welcome man! I did the screencast and I wanted to show everyone that there were fast and free transfers on the STEEM blockchain on top of everything else that is going on here!
Yes, steem is a honey badger at the moment. The larger companies are going to have to get there act together or steem takeover. The honey badger doesn't care.
Yeah! those sites are not generous enough, that's why Steemit will soon get thier butt off the golden seat this year (2018). I'm happy i'm a steemian.
Yeah they are going to have a serious competition from these crypto currency driven platforms.
That's a certainty bro, with the huge help steemit have offered us, all i think we do is to be dilligent and be honest with this platform, though that's not enough for a life changer platform, cant just hide my feelings.....I LOVE STEEMIT...Lol
I woudln't say they aren't generous enough, its just when you play in someone else's house you have to play by their rules regardless of how stupid they may be
YouTube has a lot of time and after its failures many platforms are jumping on the air. I think that Viuly is the future of youtube is the youtube of cryptocurrencies. Beware if it does not beat YouTube. I hope we continue reading, Greetings from Venezuela
Viuly sounds interesting. I really hope there are several of these types of platforms so we can earn on all of them.
Lol, these men like money.....keep me updated, happy to know you guys. Cheers!
YouTube is victimizing its users. they do not respect their labor :( @brianphobos
It is a tough business with all their expenses but in a way they are abusing their content creators who have put in so much work.
We hope Steemit keep this up, maybe in the future we are still recognised, and be proud of this outstanding platform....Although my trust lie in STEEMIT, they will be better in the coming years. I LOVE STEEMIT
I agree with you on this. Of all the social platforms, that was the only one I had hope for. Instagram/Facebook did such a beautiful job ruining a good thing. And then...I learned about Steemit and I'm hooked on just day one.
I have made way more money from Steemit than I have with YouTube. I think Steemit's user base will become even more interactive and not so focused on making money but consuming/supporting content. This platform just makes more sense. With what is happening with YouTube, it's almost as if they want to fail so that Steemit and DTube can replace them lol.
Hahhaha, Yeah it does seem like they want to fail in some respects. I think that Google figured that platform would turn a profit way sooner but it is been over 10 years and they aren't getting the return they expected plus it would be extremely expensive to keep running all those computers to support the network.
Man... That's why Steem is so genius! Let's gooooo!
I'm personally still doing WAY better on Youtube but still plugging away here as well and the recent rise in Steem price and SBD is great as well. I plan on continuing to post on both platforms. Once frustrating thing I'm seeing on Youtube is every single crypto video I make is demonetized
Johnny, there are accounts that are designated to discover talented users. One of them is named "curie." They have guidelines as to how to be qualified for an upvote from them: https://steemit.com/curation/@curie/expanded-guidelines-early-2018
You were the one that got me into crypto and steemit. Thank you. I have been having success on Steemit. A few of my posts have generated $60-$70 recently and one even generated $153. By I received even more because I accumulated over $100 SBD that I sold between $4-13 and quickly made over $1000. All of them were upvoted by accounts like curie and hendrickdegrote. I mainly post content about travelling in China. Also, people can submit your posts to them and they can consider upvoting them. So for example if you post something I think is upvote worthy for whales, I can submit it to curie and if they upvote it, I will get rewarded with like 15 Steem or something. Read their guidelines. They do not upvote content related to Steemit. They want original content. You can even check out that link and browse through the posts they have upvoted so you can get an idea. I hope this helps you man. This is a platform I'm feeling more and more passionate about. I think it will help me live an independent life.
Hey @kenanqhd thanks for the info buddy I'm gonna check that out today. Congrats on the Steemit success that's awesome your killing it man. Again really appreciate the tip gonna look into that today for sure.
@dtube is open for the taking. It's seems to be running reasonable well at the moment. I can only image what it will look like with a native SMT and a few 100 grand a month flowing thru it.
Yeah it will be interesting when they have a native token. It keeps improving for sure. The one thing I do like on YouTube though is the ability to upload higher quality content. 4K....etc
yeah the monetization on youtube is very funny, I joined steemit just 7 months ago and already earned about $1000 the total, but I am on youtube for two years waiting to hit the $100 to withdraw and still have $70 there, so I think I will get my $100 in one year maybe :) lol !
Plus some people told me that youtube may not pay you at all because I advertised my video in one exchange views website, so I will see, but I love steemit, it's really the best social ever made !
yeah I remember back in the day it took me awhile to start getting payouts. I get consistent payouts from my other channels which is so weird why it isn't a quick approval on this channel. You would think it would be automated unless someone had strikes against them.
its time to win for steemit @brianphobos
