Bravo, well said. It is something I have been kicking around lately as well.
When I started I wrote an interview with James Baker, the guy that walked into a police station open carrying. I think I got... 20 cents or so with over 1000 views because people on google were looking for more information on the guy when it went viral.
I learned then that it was more important to suck the teet of others if you wanted to make it "big" here.
Instead, I took 10 months off and came back only after I found the improvements they have made to esteem and the platforms of DTube and @dlive.
Shit's broke.... and I wonder if EOS will fix it.
