I don't consider this an attack on free speech.
Those in charge do not care if you rant. Just do it quietly over there.
What they are doing is controlling the narrative.
They have decided that ignoring the alt media is worse than the blowback they will get from banning them.
This is all about narrative control. All about maintaining them as the source of information. If they do not do this, then their entire ponzi / govern-cement house of cards comes crashing down. If people learn that they are doing illegal things, not just shady, but really bad things, then they lose all authority.
Fortunately where this ends is actually very good for the people on planet earth. Instead of having f-c-book/themTube/titter we will soon have a social media server of our own in each house. It will become as ubiquitous as the smart TV. Each person will be in control of their content and who can see it.
And with this, all censorship and copyright claims will become impossible.
I hope this not an attack on free speech but im dumping screwtube ASAP anyway. I agree if They "lose face", (LOL, I wanted to say "if They lose respect") they've lost.
I have great hope for d.tube and steemit. Im looking into hosting my own IPFS node so my videos dont just disappear and because if we are going to survive we are going to need to communicate ideas, information and knowledge. If they control all of that we lose all around.
@webgurl thanks for the feedback tip. I was just thinking about that myself and after this post Im going directly there and do just that.
@morphonios I came to d.tube because of you.
Thank you for the upvote on my comment, however, at your current SP level, you are just wasting your vote.
If you do not get a post or comment to $0.02 there is no pay out.
And, until you get to 1MVest (about 460 SP, when you get a slider that allows you to adjust your voting power) you have 10 votes a day.
Or more specifically, your voting power refills at a rate of 10 votes per day. If you vote more than this your votes become less and less. It takes 5 days of doing no voting to refill all of your voting power.
Further, you would like to vote on post that are going to be popular, and then you earn curation rewards. Search these things. There are plenty of posts for new users.
