And YouTubers... We encourage people to come from other platforms, but of course VERY few will post to Steem/DTube/3Speak exclusively. They will just treat 3Speak etc as another place to spread their videos.
How should they be rewarded? The STEEM based effort is often no more than just clicking the upload button. At least hopefully they make some effort to add some text to describe what the video is about...
In those cases as a voter I look at how engaged they are on the platform. If they are merely just flyby cross-posting their content and not participating, I typically pass them by at the very least. In some cases when they are over-rewarded, and their replies to comments are non-existent, I'll downvote them.
@gardeningchannel hasn't made a YouTube video in a little while, but typically when he does, he is highly engaged in the comments. I personally want more rewards directed to creators such as this, and less to people passively attempting to monetize their content.
Yes agree on that differentiation.
@gardeningchannel is a good example of engaging. Pity he seems to have stopped posting at the moment.
