For smaller youtubers, there is no question. You can earn far more money here. For larger youtubers it's a different story, but in the future it may not be.

True. The cool thing is the opportunity to monetize on both :)
True. There aren't very few people who are monetizing well on both. Those are some stats I'd like to see.
Well, I saw a video recently where PewDiePie shared that his previous video made about $120. Can you imagine what he would make on that same video if he posted on Steemit? Oh, my! The whales would JUMP on that! He would probably make a few thousand on that one post.
True, but aside from recent restrictions, he was making several thousand on any old video simply due to the extreme number of views he gets.
Correct. The point I'm trying to make is that things are changing. Once platforms like Steemit, and others that will be developed for specific markets, become easy to exchange for USD, they'll become the new host for independently created and distributed content.
You have the point. Seven days restriction on Steemit is a big downside.
Are you referring to the payout schedule? If so, for Adsense, you have to wait for 2 months to receive your first check, and checks come out only once per month and are often delayed. Vs a liquid 7 days to pay out per post here on steemit, I see that as a feature, not a bug.
I was reffering at the restriction that you get your payment only ONCE after 7 days. After that there are no more payments.
For YouTube content creators who earned recurring revenue before this is definitely an issue I think.
On the flip side if they are now earning zilch, then maybe it is worth switching?
What? 120$? Pewdiepie?
Omg it must be getting worse than I thought.
Yeah, Paul Joseph Watson, with almost 1 million subscribers, is making about $20-30 per video. It's bad.
That's ridiculous. Back when I tried at ad revenue from youtube videos I remember receiving 1-2$ per 1000 views. You'd expect Pewdiepie with millions of views to receive at least a few thousand per video.
Oh yeah, he used to get thousands per video -- tens of thousands -- but not any more.
Time for YouTube-Steemit!
