News broke out recently of VoiceOverPete who has become really popular in the gaming community by doing funny voice overs was banned from Fiverr today. If you don't know what Fiverr is, it's a site where you can buy services of people doing all sorts of tasks for you while the site works as an intermediary. I think I'll let the video that VoiceOverPete and his son uploaded to youtube explain the situation.
All I have to say is what a disgusting way from Fiverr to act this way, not only did they ban him for something really unnecessary (how dumb do you have to be to take his voice overs seriously when he jokingly asks for your credit card information) but then refund all pending customers with onsite currency only and still take a $2 service fee per order. They didn't warn or contact him about it before hand and he can't even access the funds that were left on his account that he has earned.
The internet is going crazy over this and even famous youtubers such as pewdiepie are making videos about this incident and hoping that Fiverr will undo the ban. It might not look that way though and VoiceOverPete is looking to change platforms onto Patreon instead which is a platform where you can subscribe to content creators and donate to them in a monthly basis.
This is why VoiceOverPete should join Steem instead!
He could easily do his service here and at the same time get rewarded for his voiceovers when posting it as content, his growing userbase would be able to upvote him.
No transaction fees and no middlemen! Buyers of his service would not have to rely on middlemen taking a cut on each order.
Better marketing and connection to a broader audience.
Most importantly, no chances of getting banned, ever. Even if @dtube would suddenly turn evil and ban him from their front-end, he could still post videos onto another platform and none of his accumulated stake would ever be at risk.
So what do you think Steemians? Wouldn't our platform be so much better?
Let's make him aware by retweeting this post to him @VoiceoverPete ! :)
Is there a fiverr dapp on Steem? Ive been asking about one for almost a year now. Too much talent not to utilize it. Im going to tweet this to him now... Thanks for the heads up!

I dont think there is a fiverr dapp on steem
@steemgigs was supposed to function like fiverr
They should call it Steemerr. :D
XD I hope someone does it. i know there is Steemgigs right? It cannot be that difficult to make it happen.
I was going to build it last summer ('17), and talked to the steemgigs guys way back then, and they said they were on it, so I didn't bother. Do they still exist?
That would actually be a great dapp. No middleman, no fees, and lots of talent here already!
That is an excellent idea imo.
Fiverr is so popular and I guess it will have a huge impact on steem if a similar dApp is made here.
I would have loved to build one but sadly I am not a developer. 😔
I really really hope someone does... there is so much potential with it.

This isn't steem based, but some people are doing a crypto related freelance market called Stipend. It's currently in alpha and I haven't looked at it much more than that as of yet.

Ooh, thanks for this! I had no clue such a thing existed!
No problem!

Yeah, after speaking w/ @surpassinggoogle, I have found out that the DB server is gone! Hopefully it should be back soon?!?
I just discovered it thanks to your comment and I was very sad. It is important that they return

Cool, his service could potentially be sold using steemit as a platform, but it would be cool if there was a marketplace like fiverr on steemit, is there such a place, I think I heard about something called steemit gigs or something like that?
Great article thanks for sharing @acidyo...
/FF
the more people who have followers we bring onto steem the more we'll increase all the metrics
I think Steem would be a great fit for him. I can definitely see us attracting the gaming community over here, and he would be a nice ambassador for that.
Would be awesome to see him come here. It would definitely be a gateway to get other gamers here. I love the references at the end.
Thank you so much. Done
Done !!!!
And I think resteem is a good idea too. Just all resteem this post for Pete.
Of course we need people like him on steem blockchain i will do my best to let all my people retweet the post

It will be great to have him here
Done @theycallmedan. I don't know where to find "you retweeted". I can verify my account by adding the word you give to me and SS.
Just nice. This is the way to make the platform grows, more you who have people who follow you and reads you! Ill join the petition even dont knowing who is the guy =P (but is a gamer, im interested)
Here is my request
You should ask to give Fav and RT on every link posted in comments, to get more vissibility
A few weeks ago ill convince a scientist and teacher from Argentina to take part of steem ( @severianx ) who gets banned from twitter several times for no reason. He does an excelent content.
Im the kind of guy who talks about steem in every party hehe!

'Just put in Your password' Hahah that is gold. Sucks that he got banned. Hope he see's this and hops over to this platform. Would be cool to get his fans on board too. Twitter suspends my accounts because steemit is linked to my website www.elderson.info and I keep doing paid ads for it lol. Sorry can't get this done but happy to re-seetm with all of my profiles :)
Congratulations @acidyo!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following categories:
Here is a best place for him! And fiverr shows that he is another company who allows only for THEIR "free speach" type
Done
Done @theycallmedan @acidyo. There are great writers and artists on fiverrr, Steemit needs to explore and bring in.
Can some explain the credit card scam joke that got him banned? I am missing the context.
Posted using Partiko iOS
.... Because we need a way for kids to give us their parents Master passwords. :D
I dont think these "lets get that guy on Steem" ever works but this raises the question: "Could a Fiverr-like dapp be made on the Steem blockchain."
I think that would be a very interesting thing to see.
Yes this must happen LOL
@acidyo, maybe we should come up with a Steem version of the copypasta?
Here's my attempt. What do you think?
Attention all Steemians: @ned is in great danger and he needs your help to wipe out the crypto bears, but to do this he needs a golden Lambo and a couple of green candles.
To help him, all he needs is your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year.
But, you gotta be quick, so @ned can secure mass adoption and achieve the epic moon landing!
Google really delivered on this image. LOL!
Thank you for your information and your time i like your article
