If steemit.com were to close every Steemians would still have control of their funds and they could still access their exact same blog through other site like busy.org or app like eSteem.
the STEEMIT website could also be made available again as well, as it's also opensource and available on steemit's github as "condenser". Perhaps that's still what makes it ironic, though, that I'm releasing scripts to add "hide resteems" toggle buttons, and to enable minnows access to the "Post Vote Slider" on STEEMIT.com! But, of course, this seems easier for now than going through the "politics" of having the front-end modified or upgraded directly.
Perhaps the "powers that be" at STEEMIT.com will eventually see the usefulness of some of these mods and additions, and seek to include them directly.
I know a lot of us wished we were making and publishing video when Youtube got launched back in early 2005. There wasn't a lot of competition back then and this would have been a good opportunity to build a valuable and fun business.
We were on YouTube almost that early, and we did gain quite a bit of traction as I believe you've seen from some of our posts about our past YouTube "experiences" (channel vlogolution). I've gotta agree that STEEMIT now does have a very familiar "air" to it.
However, on STEEMIT we've earned more already in a few short months than we ever did our first several years on YouTube (that was before the YouTube partnership program even existed). It wasn't until mid 2008 that our YouTube revenues really started kicking off.
It would be great if STEEMIT could also one day replace YouTube. However, there's gotta be a way to monetize all types of older content in a meaningful way. And that was just one more incentive for creating the script I just released, which demonstrates an already working "proof of concept" showing exactly how that can be potentially achieved right now!
I think some people try to make money on Steemit using shortcuts. So what they might try to do is to keep checking what are the highest rating tags, or try to mention a whale in their blog (like I am doing here). Actually now that I think of it, that is what I am doing, especially with this particular reply.
