Only in this week:
- Zerohedge.com posted an article about the power of Steem to preserve truth.
- @davidhay posted a Youtube video wherein he explained Steem to his over 100,000 Youtube subscribers.
- @tjkirk, with over a million subscribers on YouTube, has decided to embrace Steemit and DTube and is looking for the door on Youtube because of censorship.
All the censorship that is going on on Twitter, Google and Youtube due to governments who want to control what is posted on social media, is very positive for Steem. On the Steem blockchain you can simply speak the truth and record it for all time. No one can delete your content, never! It is stored on the blockchain forever.
Steem on Zerohedge.com
The article is about the war that is heating up against our freedom to speak online and how Steem is an important tool to defend this freedom.
Quotes from the article:
You can’t hack something whose underlying content is stored in a distributed blockchain. Because the blockchain’s ledger is immutable, what you wrote is preserved in all of its glory (ignominious or otherwise) forever.
Steem is the way to beat them at their own game, without using their methods. Simply speak the truth and record it for all time.

A very positive video about Steem by @davidhay
Steem is really a revolutionary blockchain technology. In fact, Steem is one of the first blockchain technologies that people use while they do not even know they are using a blockchain.
Steem is a platform where we can contribute content and ideas and where we don't have to rely on advertising revenue.
Unfortunately, he still talked about the 100% inflation rate of Steem. This high inflation rate was months ago and today Steem has an inflation rate of about 8.5%. See page 2 of the Steem Bluepaper for more info about the inflation rate of STEEM.
Despite this, it is a very positive video so thank you @davidhay for telling your audience about this great platform.
TJ Kirk on Steem
@tjkirk is a Youtuber since November 2006 and has over a million subscribers on his main channel. Although, I don't really like his videos to be honest, I'm of course happy he says he is looking for the door on Youtube and joined Steemit and DTube instead.
Kirk joined Steemit 3 days ago and you can read his introduction post here. This post has a $1,124 dollar potential payout. Not bad for a first post ;-)
I think we have enough reasons to remain very bullish on Steem! :)
DTube is awesome and because Youtube is making it more and more difficult to monetize video content I think we can expect many more famous Youtubers to switch to DTube in the time ahead.
these are very good evolutions! we might see faster and more adoption soon!
O wow, it is really great. I just checked TJ's post. I think this type of marketing will help many people to join steemit and due to youtube's recent news, it is prime time for steem and dtube to attract users.
penguins for real news! we want penguins!
true story
My family’s income was based on a large portion of my Youtube account UNTIL they suspended it because of a post I made... nothing crazy, but one person felt it crossed the line, and like that my account of 15 million views and over 25k subscribers was gone! It left me without the ability to get sponsorship or network/partner money (which was shared!)
Long story short, I appreciate steemit for repowering me to have the ability to make more of an income from my social media... censorship will kill the other platforms... long live steemit!
@penguinpablo
Hey, thanks for linking to my article on Zerohedge. I've posted it here on steemit as well (in fact it was birthed here, then x-posted).
https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@goldgoatsnguns/ai-censorship-another-person-wakes-up-to-why-steem-is-the-future
I fully embrace this platform as the future of creator-owned communication and have written a lot "in the real world" about it. It is one of the main ways we will undermine this control system they have planned for us.
Since I own the copyright, this article and pretty much everything I write on Crypto/steem/etc... makes it's way onto Medium and, now, Zerohedge. I don't write for them, they just scrape what I post to my blog.
Thanks again. Great post.
cool, didn't know this was yours...great work!; I'll change my blog to reflect your post instead of ZeroHedge
thanks!
Check the by-lines at the top.... they've been scraping pretty much everything I write at this point. It's kinda spooky. No complaints however.
This is a fantastic idea:steemit as the base layer where one writes, then send off to other platforms from there.
I've always been a bit annoyed doing it the other way, as the cheetah bot can't determine if I wrote the original or not (I like cheetah bot).
Thanks for the inspiration!
They don't scrape my steemit blog. They scrape my public blog at www.goldgoatsnguns.com and that's where I really want to drive traffic for my patreon/newsletter service.
But, ancilliary income accruing to steemit and bridging both worlds? It works.
Thanks-going to look deeper into this as well.
you've mentioned before that you don't mind as long as they give you credit and a link.
I know I'm getting old, I read your article yesterday, and didn't recognize the same article at ZH today ;>
Believe me, the benefits are great for both sides. They get great content, I get spill over traffic and a much higher Google SEO rating, since they do repackage the article a bit.
Sure ZH gets the lion's share but getting the exposure and regular readers to the blog is something I wouldn't get otherwise. You want your work disseminated as far and wide as possible.
Steemit is the future. Facebook and YouTube are dying...
I believe we are going to see this more and more over 2018 and beyond, because people are just fed up with all the centralized bullshit going on!
Plus, YouTube pays balls to creators, assuming they could even monetize their content. Oh, and now, somebody just starting out needs 1,000 subscribers, and 4,000 hours of watch time just to be considered by Google to have monetization capabilities.
Whereas on Steemit and DTube, creators have the ability to earn money for their creations on day one! 🐳
Remember Steemit is still in beta platform. Its still a baby with a lot of potential growth. When Clif High talks about how we'll see a huge growth in people and crypto currencies, Steemit should be top of the charts for beginners. What better way to get your feet wet for the majority of the world still in the dark about cryptos.
Well, Steem has a lot of benefits and it is a leader of this area. I hope it will never be stopped by governments or influent people. In fact, there need to be shut down just 100 computers of witnesses, but this is very unlikely to happen :)
sounds good
This is great for this platform... I feel proud to be part of this and this should also give all the realization that we are a member of a social media that intends to rewards the true worthy of its value..
Nothing of worth happens quickly, these pundits will eventually see (as will the masses), it is far better to upvote than to like, it will not be censored, controlled or manipulated. But as we see the bigger names come here over twitter, facebook, etc. dTube still needs a lot of work... but the other platforms have so many years ahead... the scale will tip.
@penguinpablo I am always grateful for your daily stats. I must say that we are Growing and it's good to be here from the Start !
Thats good news!
Steem is the perfect environment for content creators, with a fully scalable blockchain, it wouldn’t be a surprise if in 1 or 2 years Steem becomes a top 5 cryptocurrency, it is already the biggest blockchain in terms of transactions.
Steem is also among top ten companies of the blokchain industry in 2017 as you can read here https://cointelegraph.com/news/top-10-companies-of-the-blockchain-industry-in-2017
Hey, you forgot me! I joined Steem this week.
It's cool, I guess I can give TJ the spotlight for a minute ;)
"On the Steem blockchain you can simply speak the truth and record it for all time. No one can delete your content, never! It is stored on the blockchain forever."
So well stated - that's the main "selling point" of Steemit in my opinion. And that's the best posible foundation to build on. Long live Steemit!
I have also wondered why on the steemit blockchain,you can not delete content....
Ths is really an eyeopener....
Thanks @penguinpablo for these daily updates..
You made me feel like a better steemian with these updates....
Wow!!!
I like his quotes....
"Steem is really a revolutionary blockchain technology. In fact, Steem is one of the first blockchain technologies that people use while they do not even know they are using a blockchain."
More exploits for steem.
steem is the future of social media !!!
great post, thanks for sharing :)
Especially since people will have an incentive to behave well because they have a reputation score to take care of and that we have a digital reward. There will be no point with working for free as most people do as of this moment on Twitter/Instagram and Facebook. I'm curious to when we will see other sites like Steemit start to popup that also use blockchain technology. And how many of these we will see people start to use so they have real value. How many various currencies can you create?
I would love to see a feature on DTube where you can do video response and have that featured under a popular video. YouTube had this feature back in the days when they actually cared about it's users. If this will be the future of social media then we will see people behave so much better online which will create a better experience for all.
Let's hope that by the time Facebook will realize that the Stemit model works -and will thus implement its own blockchain - Steemit will be big enough to face the competition!
Something you forgot to mention is that the youtube channel @sempervideo (280k) post their videos now on D.tube, too.
Their videos are always trending in the German community
Ahhh so that must be the reason for the bigger jump on STEEM and SBD today
Ready for take-off...to the moooooon :-) !
Great works, I wish you success
How does the "potential payout" work? And in general, the dollar amounts that we see under posts, how are they monetisable and how does it work in general? Thanks @penguinpablo for the informative updates!
Yup, looks like we will be turning youtube and Facebook into the next Myspace. Go STEEM!
really good post
@penguinpablo
Nice job bro, good luck
thanks for sharing about steemit information.
thats really good
carry on
amazing post
I think steem is one of the best way to convey your positive ideas and to share your great posts. It is not only a source of knowledge but also earning source.
Good job bro @penguinpablo
The difficulty of earning a penny on youtube is a result if its publicity in some country like mine. Last year it is always in our local news saying you can earn money thru youtube. Now most of the actors and actresses have a youtube channel and even those ordinary people have one.
thank you very useful information for me who still lack understanding in steemit
this is indeed a very beautiful and helpful platform. even to homesteaders like me, full time mom , thanks for sharing this @penguinpablo ❤️❤️❤️
i like you stemit friends only my account follow me @abdulmanna
Upvoted and resteemed. Thanks for the info.
keep sharing..
First of all, I would like to welcome @tjkirk for becoming a part of this amazing Community.
Yes, steem is so powerful and we are witnessing it.
Thanks for sharing these very wonderful articles and videos of great people.
Great to be apart of this as early as I am. I'm loving the community so far and the content is top notch! Can't wait for steem to become mainstream.
Impressive sharing! Thanks for update
interesting articles
Thanks @penguinpablo for your daily stats as well as this article. We are sure we will see a lot more new faces on these platforms (Steemit and DTube) and surge pass 1 million accounts sooner rather than later. Just need a way to keep those users active!
It's still a shame about the 8.5% inflation, but better than it being at 100% and hopefully it will come down to a reasonable/stable rate for all parties to benefit.
Your good post is very professional I am interested in your post @penguin pablo
I am sure many more people like @tjkirk will see that here on Steemit they can be free again and have not to worry about censorship.

Youtube offers exposure to new content creators. Their content can be easily found through search engines. The videos there can earn for lifetime if they get views.
Here on steemit things are different. Content is not discoverable. Those who bring followers from youtube and other platforms earn a ton of money. The payment is high for limited but the earning window is just 7 days. Many people end up buying upvotes out of frustration.
Steemit is definitely a good platform but comes with a lot flaws.
The limited earning window is a serious problem: it encourages people to write ephemeral content that is quickly consumed and forgotten.

Yeah, I know a couple of people thinking of coming over from YouTube - I think there's going to be a lot of DTube-related growth in coming months.
Hopefully 2018 will be the year of the mass exodus from Youtube, twitter and the like over to the Steemit block chain. In the mean time they can use their current platform to direct all their audiences over here.
