Why are we just now getting a video Justine??
Well, to be honest, I have tried not to post too much about the foundation here on my blog, as I just didn't want anyone's distaste for me to negatively affect the foundation in anyway. I was sort of hoping someone else would do it. But, considering we are in the final stages and much of the community is asking for more explanation, I felt that as part of the working group I am not doing my job unless I try to help with this aspect. When Snook reached out to me, I figured it was time to put on my big girl pants and give it a go.
Maybe it is time for a video though...
Snook asked for a video to be made of just a normal explanation of it all.. Which I said I would try to attempt... and after a glass of wine, I thought I was up to the task!
After I recorded it though, I played it back quickly and thought it wasn't focused enough and didn't even cover all the things the foundation could do.. I mean, I just seemed to get stuck on "marketing" and not the whole funding of projects or anything really for that matter. So, I just planned to try again when it wasn't late at night.. you know and NOT wing it.
BUT, then I got sick.. and I am still not great and here we are a week later. SO I wanted to at least get this out there to see if it helped in the slightest for those just trying to understand what the heck is going on. Then I will try to make one a bit more focused and structured to get into some details that weren't mentioned here.. until then, my ramblings will have to do!
For more (detailed and not rambling) information about the @steemalliance foundation, please check out the blog as well as the public Discord Server
Next Plan Of Action?

Do that here 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
- Ask Questions
Still not sure about a few things or don't understand specifics in a proposal? Ask away and we will do our best to answer them. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
- Spread The Word
They won't know unless you tell them.
Thanks for reaching out @snook <3 I hope this helps a bit.
Much Love,
Justine
Thank you so much for making this video!!!
You’re welcome! I hope it’s a good start.. like I said.. this is sort of a conversation like you and I were having a glass of wine and you asked me 😜 it may not cover specifics, but just an overview of what the heck this thing is.
Thanks for the push and all the help with dtube (and my formatting 😉) ❤️
Thanks for the great information. Knowledge is earned. Let get people to sign up

Thank you! I hope this at least gets them registered and then digging for more information etc.
You've made the Steemit Minute for today! Congrats!

Lol it’s always nice to have someone who can eloquently describe it for the rest of us muggles! Since you have a foot in both streams I guess you’re a mudblood

Haha! It’s just because I am a normie. I feel that with the userbase we have it’s really important to try to bridge the gap a bit anytime we can.. as quite frankly I need it as well.
With this specific project I guess it does make sense for me to try to do so, as I have been in the trenches in a way so can try to explain things. Butttt I ramble 😂 so sometimes times it just goes where it goes 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks ❤️
Great idea to make a video that explains things clearly, you doing a great job as well 😉👍
Have a wonderful Sunday. Cheers!

Lol, dtub doesn't play on my tablet and utub doesn't always translate videos out of html5, which my tablet doesn't read, apparently.
I will try again when i get to a desktop.
Oh no! I hate when that happens. It’s a pretty random overview so I’m not sure how much help it will be, but please let me know if you have specific questions!
Thanks for taking your time to explain all these, we love what you are doing in our community, thank you very much.

Thank you for making this video, @llfarms!
I often shy away from the politics of every single entity that is made, but in this case, I should get a little bit of the basics down, we'll see if I can get this.
Also, thank you for getting involved to help all the rest of us out here!
Cheers! It's an important link in the chain I think.
I really need to find the time to read those proposals.
Hopefully it'll emerge into something which can limit the power of capital on the platform, and give a wider range of people more impact!

Awesome post - now let's get people to sign up :D
Great job! You explaoned it well.
Excellent job @llfarms! I didn’t know you did videos :) Mene Unboxing next? ;)
Hey thank you!! haha, this is my 4th video in internet history lol. But I should try to do them more, it's a great way to easily communicate with many... and heck yeah on Mene Unboxing! <3
cool, who do i vote for
I think you explained it pretty nicely, and I find it great that you can deliver all that in 10 minutes explanation in a pretty nice and soothing voice.
My head started spinning after 4 min so I dropped out.
Wiser heads than mine will have to sort
This one out. Thanks for trying
Justine @llfarms
Marketing and PR is paramount. To get the word out to mainstream and I see clearly how this Foundation can help with that, Great video, Justine
Thanks for the great explanation I'm looking forward to what structure this community foundation will have.
Perfect
For me personally, I think a large part of the problem was with the choice to label it as Steem Alliance. I had followed it at the beginning and put in some input at some places...but I don't really do discord. So, at some point it got this name and suddenly there were all these proposals...yet somehow I missed a lot of these...and I think part of it was because many were labeled with Steem Alliance...which just sounds like another one of the tons of groups on here.
It also feels like there should have been a lot more discussion on the chain and resteems of all sorts of things. These things should have been unavoidable. Everyone on the chain should be discussing it...yet many people feel out of the loop.
I also think it was a mistake to do registration for voting on a poll to vote in another poll. That's just weird. I don't know if I'm even registered, since I may have voted late. There are also a ton of proposals to get through.
I've spent time off and on trying to read through them for the last two days, because somehow I missed most of this talk before now.
Might have been better to actually break them down into individual aspects to vote on, like non-profit vs tax haven, etc.
Though, truthfully, almost anything could technically work here, at least for a time, and likely be better than what it is now. There are tons of open source projects out there that do just fine with various different structures.
Edit: Oh, and as to your thought that you might negatively affect people's opinions...take a look around. This is the crypto world. Half the people think the other half is crazy, and some of them may be right about some of the others. We have people of all types here. We have a ton of people that are hated by a ton of the others. This is like all of the craziest of 90's forums rolled into one. If this place were a film franchise, it would be a post apolitical death world...with people taking selfies and advertising all sorts of weird things. Have you tried this latest snake oil? It will cure your herpes and make all the women around you blind with lust! This place is crazy...and it's home...and half the people hate the other half, but not the same half necessarily...but it's home. So, some might dislike you...that might mean that you're making your way up in the world. Just maybe try to make it obvious that you're just one of many.
