We've completely and utterly eliminated downvotes as the most corrupted part of all these blockchains. There are only small transaction fees for BrandWith to discourage spam, but they don't go to anyone in particular, they're just burned. Typically, if you don't post specific crap, you earn much more than those fees.

The approach you want to take is 100% acceptable to us. We even have an automatic tool for uploading videos from YouTube channels, a WordPress plugin to automate the reposting of WordPress posts here: https://blurt.pl/en/autopublishing.php, and an initiative called https://web2.support where you can monetize your RSS feed.

We have true decentralization and freedom of speech. You can do whatever you want.
If, for example, you bring, say, 1,000 of your YouTube fans to Blurt, they'll somehow build Blurt Power, which will allow them to support your videos with such votes that you'll earn $100 per post. That'll be your $100. No one can take it away from you, and no one can lower your reward.

As I always say on Hive, your reward isn't decided by your fans, but by your enemies. On Blurt, it's your audience that makes you wealthy. That's why it's worth building on Blurt ;)
