Lea, you are bang on about steemit being the gateway. Me personally, I don't care about crypto as much as I used to, and I know a lot of new dTubers jumping over for the platform rather than the crypto. Advertising it as a great community and creative space to a broader audience is definitely the way to go about it.
Although your video was 13 minutes long, it actually held my attention the whole way. Guess the writing aspect helped it as well, haha
