It wouldn't be so bad if the Youtube stuff was new, most of it is anywhere up to 10 years old and in some cases not even the property of the poster!

Having said that I'm in no position to criticise people using content from years ago as in my series "Seriously?" I am regurgitating content that I posted on the web years ago. In my defence I am trying to build that up and bring it right up to date so that all the new stuff I post will have a kind of historic platform.

One of the main issues with Steemit is the original members were not initially getting any rewards. Once those started to kick in they all had big payouts immediately elevating them to this so called whale status. Now that was cited as a reason to join Steemit so you can see why lots of opportunists have joined. Those are the ones I hope get disheartened and leave so that serious individuals like you and I can get on and build some value.
