Discussed Steemit on Alex Jones Infowars Today
Just finished up a segment on the Alex Jones show. Due to the censorship threats of both funding and content coming from all directions towards free/new media, I had to mention the value proposition that Steemit provides.
I'll be sure to push the message out more if given the opportunity to be back on the show!
Interview begins about 15m into 2nd hour - Discussion about Steemit comes at the start of the 3rd Hour:
Brand new user checking in thanks to this very mention. I'm really intrigued by the concept.
Welcome to Steemit! It's well worth checking out... around here, content still flows freely and uninterrupted.
Welcome! I've earned more than $500 in my first three months and I hope you'll have similarly great results. Just be aware: payouts are lower than usual for the next two weeks while the payout formula shifts to a new model. Don't worry, cuz they will go way up.
For context - this content would earn you probably $10+ in the normal Steem payout system.
@heymattsokol What's the new payout model?
It's a little confusing to explain - basically, rewards used to pay out of a daily pool (100% of the rewards every day), now they pay out of a monthly pool (3% of the monthly pool each day).
It's the same total payout per day in the end - but the switch lowered rewards for a period of one month. We're about halfway(?) through this reduced payout period.
All you really need to know is - payouts will be a lot higher in a few weeks, and should stay that way.
Welcome! Steemit is a groundbreaking community and is truly awesome. This is coming from one of the most censored, fact-based people on the Internet.

Blake, I feel like I just heard myself on #Infowars! Awesome job bro! The #SpiritCooking is what led me down the same path you are right now. If people could be so evil then the devil must be real. And for the devil to be real God & Jesus must be real as well. I've was raised catholic and believe in God & Jesus but this whole situation changed my entire perspective on life! I'm 36 with 2 kids and to think about what goes on hurts my soul and lights a fire under it that is forcing me to be involved however I can. Please check out my page and give me a follow as I have yours. Great job and thanks for your service and if there is anything I can do to help please let me know! I'm in this to win this just like you!! God Bless brother!
Thanks brother! God Bless you as well. I'm lit.
Same here. When I learned about it i immediately realized it was for blackmail, but only realized how deep it went as I dug. Thinking about children...or worse, your children going through that situation reallllly tends to light a fire under your ass to do something. Luckily i think many people...especially those with children themselves....are going to say heck no. This is not happening on our watch.
I knew nothing about any of this, so this is direct feedback that your mention at least got me here!
Welcome to Steemit @merlyn! It's a really unique platform. Check your wallet tab and you'll see my transaction. You should do an introduction post with the #introducemyself or #introduceyourself tags.
Thank you for that info, wallet tab? Well got a lot to learn I guess!
Yes, not only is Steemit censorship resistant because the data is recorded to the blockchain, content creators, and the curators, or those who upvote, comment, and share posts, are all rewarded with digital currency. One of the best things about the site is as you earn money, you can also send tips to others, or use it to purchase goods and services, or trade it for bitcoin, and cash out to US dollars. You have a lot to learn, but there are a ton of people here to help! Hope you enjoy your stay.
Go on YouTube and watch videos on cryptocurrencies, blockchain, bitcoin & Steemit.
This video does a good job of explaining how Steemit works. Straight from the creators mouths.

Welcome to Steemit! It's a great platform and a pretty cool community... and the content flows uninterrupted here.
Nice going, Blake! Quite the overview in hour three.
yes @ned )) this was a brilliant way of showing people the clear advantages of blockchain social media that cannot be taken down by the dark hands of the State !! If i were Alex and experiencing the clampdown on Youtube, Twitter and Facebook i would not hesitate one second and sign up for an account !
This is so awesome and the news has made my day !!Go @blakemiles84 , Go Infowars and Go Steem )
I know this isn't the place for this but consider showing the comments that are behind "show more comments" on the same page as the rest.
Currently if I click on show more comments, I seem to be redirected to a new page with only that comment tree showing. It shouldn't work that way. Please look at reddit how they are doing it for an example.
Another tip, notifications; I can't tell if there is a new post on my feed or a comment for me - there is no difference in the UI for an user. This is bad design, again. When implementing these normal social media functions, I'd suggest to look on other popular sites and how they do things and try to replicate.
Thank you for your time.

The only thing missing was Alex Jones walking his viewers through the sign-up process himself. I'm surprised we got as much airplay as we did. This is definitely a good sign that we're breaking ground.
Hi Blake,
Great interview on Infowars. Just joined here as result.
Just to let you know, all the SF down under are listening, awake and ready.
Cherrs
The platform is in beta so lots of discussions and experiments going on. Have fun exploring steemworld!
Welcome to Steemit!
nice plug on the Alex Jones show.
following now.
I just saw that also. That was a great segment you had. And not only was there a plug, but catching his attention with censorship resistance, he spelled out the URL, and the screenshot. Great job!
@blakemiles84 thank you for your service brother
Damn dude! Thank you for helping spread the good word. That is damn awesome!
Alex Jones has millions of loyal listeners. Many of whom post their views on social websites are getting censored. Steemit is looking for more content creators and commenters, this is a good place to market!
"this is a good place to market!"
I see the demons as inbred psychopaths...haha!!!
so capitalists?
As in crony?
crony capitalists are just the successful ones and the other kind are just resentful at how the government doesn't let them oppress people too
You could call it crony capitalism, you could call it corporatism; but what we have in the West is not a free market.
I never said it was......
I'm just saying market socialism is the closest to a free market your ever going to get.
