There is a growing exodus of alternative media fleeing Facebook and Youtube for sites like Steemit and Dtube. Welcome @news2share. Steemit is just beginning to take off now so I believe you have joined at the right time. It may take some time to build an audience but it will defintely be worth it in the long run.
@caitlinjohnstone has just announced that she will be writing primarily on Steemit because of Facebook censorship drastically reducing her audience on Medium. Caitlin joins other awesome alternative voices such as @lukewearechange, @pressfortruth and @sarahabed just to name a few.
Greg Carlwood of The Higherside Chats has been discussing joining Steemit and Dtube, so I will be doing my best to encourage him to join the platform as soon as possible.
Steemit and Dtube is a refuge for alternative media and their audiences. It's going to be an exciting year for Steemit.
Welcome!
I have been collecting these indie journalists on a list to share with others. I will add these. Steem and Dtube are very promising for journalists, but we also have LBRY which I believe is another very promising way to out compete the mainstream.
Thanks, would love to be on the list! won't let you down!
Great list @diggndeeper.com. How did I forget to mention @corbettreport in my previous comment?
I'm going to start working on Patrick Henningsen of 21st Century Wire (& Alternate Current Radio Network) too. They have been getting hammered by the Facebook, Google censorship.
Thank you! And yes, I've worked before with Luke before. This is his interview with me after Charlottesville:
Just posted this comment on Alternate Current Radio Network's Facebook page. I will keep badgering!
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that more and more alternative media types are tuning out of Facebook and Youtube and heading over to decentralised platforms (censorship-resistant platforms) like Steemit and Dtube. (Like you didn't know that already).
Is ACR looking to establish a presence on Steemit any time soon?
If you do, you'll be in great company with the likes of the Corbettreport, Press for Truth, We Are Change, Adam Kokesh, World Alternative Media, Sarah Abed and many others.
Caitlin Johnstone has just announced that due to FB censorship, Steemit will now be her primary channel for posting her writings https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@caitlinjohnstone/facebook-is-throttling-my-articles-so-it-s-time-to-diversify-platforms-hi-steemit
And news2share has just done the same https://steemit.com/independent/@news2share/youtube-and-facebook-are-wiping-out-the-indie-media-we-re-going-to-dtube-steemit#@atnicholson/re-news2share-youtube-and-facebook-are-wiping-out-the-indie-media-we-re-going-to-dtube-steemit-20180127t220126466z
The audience on Steemit and Dtube is growing by the day and with big names in alternative media making the move, they will be bringing their audiences with them.
I believe if the ACR gang make the move now, you will all reap the rewards before long. Spore McHeshington Patrick Henningsen Hesher McHeshington Jay Dyer Jay Scott
OK, time to log out of Facebook now ... I feel so dirty.
