hey, I was at first put off about the arrangement, because I was viewing this as a youtube-sort of money maker, where I could put something out there, and just let it keep propagating and making money, but I had to adjust how I viewed steemit, and how I was thinking about using it, and now I'm alright with the expiration, because it makes business sense from a technical point of view.
now that I've learned about LBRY, DTube, DStream, and steepshot, I'm excited to use steemit as one of several central hubs to share information and content via the many blockchains available.
