RE: YouTube in China is hard - Steemit may save my career

in #steemit7 years ago

Copyright is a HUGE issue in China right now, and has been for a long time. I constantly see contents being stolen from YouTube and put on Chinese sites, where the original creators don't make a single penny off of, as well as having a more views because of the population of China. YouTube and other sites being blocked from China isn't helping this situation at all. The big guys like TV networks, I don't exactly care too much about them to be hoenst, they make enough already. It's the smaller content creators that are being massively affected. Streaming site in China like Youku are only focused on their membership and TV shows, they don't exactly give content creators a lotta benefits like YouTube does, and then there's acfun and bilibili, two sites that are filled with stolen content. Papi is trying something different, but the so called PapiTube isn't exactly the ideal platform, it's basically Buzzfeed videos in a nut shell. I truly hope the situation changes soon.
