Are you concerned about the recent negativity and fighting on the platform & do you think there will be major repercussions???

There has always been fighting and negativity if you look hard enough, we only get moments of peace when people loose motivation on front running the battles!

Recently we see a lot of fuss around things that concern the platform deeply which visibility and opinion on these subjects is necessary, such as if we don’t talk about Nazism we will not educate the future generations and history may be doomed to repeat itself. The problem I have with said negativity is the outrage and self justification in being offended by another’s opinion. When discussion falls to the low of name calling and trying to prove yourself better then another there is no longer a point that can be proven!

The repercussions can already be seen, major not really but they are obvious to me. I avoid posts which I see the battles and furthermore refrain from commenting on “pot stirring” comments till I research a little further the accounts involvement in those battle posts. Many users will get caught in the cross fire along the way(I have) and only the ones willing to stick their necks out will continue to participate in the battle, may be their sole purpose on this platform for all I know! Yet I see negativity as a necessity, yin yang style for energy will always balance itself.

The concerning part for me surrounds the issue with innocent people getting caught in the cross fire not knowing better then to keep their nose out of big money’s business, as big money sees it! The repercussion I can clearly see would be a bad rap for on-boarding new users and a slowing on adoption of our platform.

Yeah I guess your right it is something that’s always been there, just these last few weeks seems more prominent. Definitely not something I’ll be getting involved in “not my circus, not my monkeys” 😂😜

I think it’s kind of the inevitable evolution of social media, drama sells! Look at the whole Jake Paul thing on YouTube... just finished Shane’s series on it... the emotions are real but it’s like a mutual agreement to perpetuate things further for views.

Yeah maybe we should start another community “one beef DTube “ get in on this idea at ground level 😂😂😂😂
