Thanks Brain, I will cross post for a while. But many of my videos are not even being shown to my subs anymore. If I do get one that goes viral, YT caps it at 100k views. Makes me angry.

I can understand a 100% why you would be upset for sure. Since 2008 I have been upset on and off about different things that happen with YouTube but really when it comes down to it I don't believe it will go away. It is still the future and next year there will be more people watching YouTube videos than there were this year. That trend will continue.
Steemit is a great addition to what you guys are doing but in my opinion don't abandon either platform and also be on the lookout for other platforms where you can get paid to share your knowledge and your life style.
The YouTubers who won't survive are the ones who put all their eggs in one basket. You are doing the right thing by building a following and a community over here but just realize that 5 months ago those of us that had put in a massive amount of time on this platform were on suicide watch. It was worse here than the AdPocalypse. But changes were made and suddenly it came back to life. There will be ups and downs. Neither YouTube or Steemit are going to be the end all be all.
Keep sharing! We are glad to have you here!
Empires rise and fall. Once upon a time, Myspace was never gonna end. LOL
That is very true but the resources required to host all the video that YouTube has is a bar set so high that it would take billion dollar + companies to attempt to overtake it.
Doing a service that is block chain based where people give up bandwidth / store space to host other people's stuff is pretty intensive as well. In the future 10 years from now maybe but right now it is so much data to push with our current Internet connections...etc.
Not everyone has to be a seed in a p2p network. But those with fast connections on fiber in the city, they will benefit the community the most as it grows. That is totally doable.
It will cost one way or another. Google has taken an overall loss on YouTube and it was a very long term play. Individuals will need to be compensated to harness the burden of the network. And when people are uploading 250GB 4K files...... eeeeekkkkkk
It is doable..... but it won't be easy.
