RE: Sharing Copyrighted Video Material on DTube Could Put Steemit's Future At Risk and Devalue STEEM.. My Thoughts - Having Worked In This Arena For a Decade.
@ura-soul I just spent nearly ten minutes looking for a post that I would enjoy reading and upvoting and even to give a comment. Groupthink is so pervasive that many folks have a problem being able to express original thoughts.
There are about 15-25% real quality and original posts here on Steemit. The rest is the typical sociopaths who like to vomit on others and expect them to be happy about it.
Dtube is already a mess. One of the things that happened on You Tube was that copyright holders liked their materials being shown and they took the initative to be the ones who uploaded along with a user-friendly system which would allow a quick and easy purchase.
I have noticed similar, yes - but at least Steemit (if guided as was intended) will motivate people to increase their ability to generate unique content in order to get rewarded.. If half the world wants to talk to itself about the same subjects over and over again, without letting in anything new - then there's not much we can do about that (except possibly project a giant laser image onto the moon with more interesting content for them to look at .. but i digress) :)
The idea of identifying legitimate copyright owners and pointing payouts to them should be enough to fix the situation in most cases, yes.
