RE: Hey Steemit... You Down With OPC? (Other People's Content) | What type of content should be posted on Steemit?
Hey dude thanks for the shout out!
I think what @gigafart said makes sense. People do get a sense of spam. If I see someone just make a post and all it is is an embedded YouTube video, I get the feeling that this isn't valuable and the person who posted it doesn't really care much about providing value.
Not adding your own text/blurb kinda makes your post look lifeless and stale. At the same time, if someone posted time-sensitive content such as breaking news or something, then I feel like even just a video would garner a lot of upvotes and attention.
It is hard to see how this plays out. There are people that post reaction vids on YouTube that make more money and earn more subscribers then someone making $0.56 posting somebody else's video.
what's going on with that whole reaction vid thing anyways? a while back I saw a bunch of youtubers cheering reaction videos were dead but i still see them being monetized and doing well.
just to kind of prove a point i thought it would be funny if someone did a livestream reaction vid of someone watching the mcgregor mayweather fight. im sure youtube would step in and put a stop to that pretty quickly lol, if they didn't we'd all get to see the fight for free instead of paying $150 for pay per view or whatever crazy fee they're gonna charge
I'm not sure actually. I haven't looked into reaction videos but I am pretty sure they are alive and well. Posting other people's or company's content on YouTube is technically allowed as long as there is some commentary or something right? I guess they make the rules vague for the very reason so that they can choose at their own discretion what can stay and what can be taken down.
Yeah it seems like every platform from Amazon to Youtube to any other tend to leave things fairly vague so they can use their discretion to kinda do what they want lol
