Hey There SteemVerse Friends,
Why do you champion Steem? What makes you stick around? I have one big reason... wonder if it is the same for you. Please share your reasons for being here on this platform :)

Yeah, same.
Like I mentioned last time in my video I am still not sure about it.
I have to say that I am losing interest in Dtube... Because I can't see any improvement, can you?
It is about the people but not many people are in my niche, so it also depends on your interest... it makes me wonder why not many people are joining the network, I got some friends in the beauty community, and they joined. But it is all very confusing for them. I guess the main reason is that it is not user-friendly.
The good news is that I find people like you which I really like and maybe that's why I am still here 😊 I see that not many people are "consuming" the content.
I am not only active on Steemit; I like to share my content on many places, well I guess it's because of the tutorials, and I want that people can find them. Otherwise, if they are getting deleted or won't pop up on Google, it doesn't make any sense.
I am wondering if you are you only on Steem?
I recently read some updates from @DTube and it gives me hope that it is not going to be status quo but they are working on it.
I cannot say I understand the technicalities of Video hosting and I don't want to either so but I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt that things will get better.
It is definitely not ready for mass adoption especially since the masses are used to the convenience of YouTube, FB, Insta and the like. But I am hopeful these things will be ironed out.
I started out on YouTube but it was more a family channel and my Mum fell sick and I ended up spending a lot of time taking care of her and the consistency suffered.
And then on Steem it became mostly me because of the engagement and the blogs. And the content has changed somewhat. So I am trying to find the balance between the two and still deciding how to make it work.
I find at the moment mostly guys and the older folk(that includes me) on the platform. But with time, when more and more people start coming in, you will be one of the pioneers for make-up. And because your intent is to share your talent and expertise, you are doing right by sharing it everywhere you can.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really is the people that keeps us going eh... Sure there are some jokers too, but where there's people... there will be all kinds.
Keep doing what you are doing. Don't give up on DTube yet. We need the beautiful people on the platform too :)
<33
Hm, where did you get the updates from? Because I heard some rumors that they want to leave Steem 🤔
Same here, I just talked to some programmers, and they said that they are not caring about the content giving only the same people upvotes regularly it's "à la tête du client" Like the customer's head, and not how much effort you put into it, etc. On Youtube, you can see that if you are putting much effort in your videos and if you promote them people like them.
I am hopeful for Steem as well, but not for these Dapps I guess they will be replaced with better services.
Sorry about that ☹️ I hope that you and your mum are fine, or better now 💝
Yes, that's why I got some people to join, but they don't like it because it has absolutely no engagement in our niche. If you are a content creator like you are, you want people to watch your video and comment, or at least like and share it with their friends so that you know that you did an excellent job so that you can grow, etc. 😀
Are you trying to get people to join and how are they reacting? (Especially the woman...)
Haha :P Thank you 🤪
Really?
This post made me feel some confidence that it is not status quo.
I think this is where I'm at
hahaha
I've heard both sides arguing the voting ethics.
But YouTube comes with its fair share of challenges. I have watched many arguments there too in regards to demonetisation and communication.
I guess it is what we want to work with (and for how long ;p)
For sure on the content creator and eyeballs on your work. This was my initial contention that I left after the first couple of months and of course DLive made it easy to. And even though I had heard you get decent upvotes, I still wanted my videos to be watched. I took so much pride in the work I put in.
Now I just look at it as a hobby and what I'd like to do. I guess also because my YT channel has hardly any views too.
For you it'd be different :)
I do mention what I do with friends more so now. But Crypto in my country is in the grey. So that is the challenge I face. I have brought a couple including family but the younger ones want to be where the crowd is, where their friends are. So it is a slow uphill battle.
But I am hoping that the kinks on DTube will be sorted out soonest. But now with this new information, I'll take it one day at a time.
I do love Actifit and that has become the app I post from and then clean up on steemit. Actifit because I need to get exercise into my routine, Doc's orders. But there are so many DApps to be proud of like Partiko and Esteem (my go to to blog because of the ease), DrugWars and SteemMonsters, Communities and Steemians that work on building the platform...
Mum returned to Maker a couple of years back. Thank you @mvd
I am glad to have you on this Steem journey. I like how feisty and forward you are <33
Ahh interesting a couple of weeks ago I heard some witnesses talking about it, and I think now it makes sense, probably if they can't get any funding, then they might leave.
Yes, love that image! I am exactly in the same position. 😂
Yeah, Dtube... It's weird when I am recording 10min videos, and I am only talking about random stuff, they give me an upvote, and when I'm putting lots of effort into it 1day+ research+recording+editing, they ignore it lol. I am not getting it...
Youtube is different, most of the videos where I put lots of effort into it are ranking, and I am getting views every day. Of course, you need the keyword tool and see what people are looking for, but at least they can find it on Google!
However, the payout on Youtube is ridiculous. Not sure how many views you need but to get some money out of it but I guess a lot! Also, I am not sure what it takes to get more subscribers, I am getting them daily, but when I compare it with my views, then I have no Idea what I am doing wrong. (I guess it would be a good idea to buy some so that it looks like more lol...) But it depends on what you want to achieve, if you are doing it only for fun, okay, but if you're going to build a business, it is a great way to put your content out there.
Also, I want to help people. I worked as kind of a "social worker." Three years with homeless and drug-addicted people, well I know this is different from what I am doing now I know. However, I still have that feeling with makeup (if that makes any sense lol) The problem in my niche is that most of it is fake and I want to change it, not sure how I should do it...
Also, I can't stop... there are a few subscribers who are requesting videos all the time so I want to help them lol. And of course nobody else will watch them, but when I am doing reviews about products everybody wants to watch it that's strange... But I don't like to it, but you know it's not about what we want but what they want 😜
Anyway, I went way off topic lol...
So, back to the topic... I see so many people posting with "Actifit" and I never really looked into it. What do you mean by Doc's orders? I mean why do you need to do it?
Do you know https://steemit.com/@engrave ? I just created a blog and will launch my first blog post soon. It has SEO! :D So people can find our posts on Google! 😊
What does "return to maker" mean? I am not sure about that, but it sounds positive. ♥️
YouTube... just keep going especially if you are getting subscribers every day. The more you get the easier it gets to grow...
From the last updates of YouTubes terms if I am not mistaken:
Every 1000 views you get 2 Dollars. I think you have to hit 1000 subs first before you can monetise. As for ads that pop up on your videos, there's a percentage you get off it. Watch time is also calculated and if your viewer views the ads that pop up on your video. I believe 10 minute and longer videos are encouraged.... these are the ones I can remember off hand.
I have high cholesterol, so the Doc has given me 6 months to workout and bring down the reading otherwise he will put me on meds. I don't want to go on meds.
Actifit pretty much rewards you with Steem and Tokens for your activity. So it is the perfect app for me now ;D
"Return To Maker" ... sorry I should have been clearer. She passed away. She had Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I like to believe she is in a better place than she was in the last year she was here.
<33
Yes, I think it also depends on the audience. Anyway thank you for the information. ♥️
Oh, I didn't know that you can bring it down with workout. I thought that it would be related to food, to have a healthy diet, etc.
The medicine isn't necessarily a bad thing my father took it as well, and it helped him a lot; he could stop it after a while... But always better to try it the "natural way" that's for sure!
HAHA, it wouldn't be the perfect app for me most of the time I am in the office. I do about 30-60min morning walk everyday and that's pretty much it. Rest is only bus,car walking into the office,clients etc. lol
Oh no, sorry now I got it. Sorry to hear that 😟
Just wondering are you from Malaysia? I scrolled down your timeline, and it says "Team Malaysia".
Maybe the beauty industry is not big here at the moment. We need to have patience and believe of what is taking place here.

Yes that's true 😊 I believe in Steem, but some of the Dapps are just useless like they are for now, and I think people will always have a bad taste to it.
Maybe you are too young but the same thing happened when the web started 20 years ago.
@chesatochi what do you mean?
The technology is on the infancy stage and is going to improve over time.
Yes, that's true; however, this doesn't necessarily mean that all the Dapps will survive.
I stumbled into STEEM in 2017. Didn't do much with it until @theycallmedan got my STEEM attention up again when he was moving from YT to STEEM and D!tube. Ever since I've enjoyed the diverse content on STEEM and D!tube. I believe in the growth of STEEM. I've been a Litecoin miner back in 2013-2015. HODLed most of my LTC and started to add to my BTC and LTC stack more aggressive in 2017. I DCA into BTC weekly and have recently powered up in STEEM. I think every now and then I'll power up further here in STEEM because I really like the community and what is happening here! Keep up your great work! STEEM ON!
That's great feedback.
Coming from someone who has dabbled in other coins, it gives me even more confidence that Steem has immense potential.
Thank you so much and it is great to have you here :D
pls subscribe, like&comment my channel
Heya, this is frowned upon here. And you might even be flagged.
Make an effort for genuine comments and you will grow :)
Very true
:D
I can't watch the video but I am here because I still believe.

Yeah, this happens ever so often.
Fingers crossed all these will be ironed out.
Steem has so much potential... now just to get the word out ;D
Haha, that's exactly what I mean 😂
hahaha... sigh...
This Steem universe is still new to me. Just like now, I'm in Malaysia, small country in SE Asia, inside Asia continent. There are 7 continents on earth. And Steem universe brought me to different places every day by photography and Tasteem food reviews! I'm not interested in crypto updates because it's a long term observation. So far, I have been enjoying myself like a kid in a new playground that never gets bored coming everyday.
That sounds like a very legitimate reason hahaha
Enjoying the journey without getting too caught up with the crypto ups and downs ;p
It's slowly on the up ... sloooowwwwllllyyyy ;p
Can't watch the video for some unknown reason, but I can share the reason I'm still here.
I do I have an unbreakable believe in blockchain tech, but that could just as well bring me to another blockchain.
Here on SteemIt, I discovered a community like I had never seen before. 2018 was a very rough year for me, and I got through it thanks to the people here. If you would have told me 2 years ago I would be considering complete strangers who lived on the other side of the globe as my friends, I would have never believed you. Still, it happened. I've met the most amazing people on here - and I'm meeting new ones every day again. I laughed, I cried, I cursed, I even wanted to quit a hundred times, and always there were people there for me.
I have the best 'real-life' friends a person can have, but this last year, it were the people here that kept me going.
To me, SteemIt is 'home'...
I've been told that when I can't playback DTube Videos, to clean the cache and cookies... It has worked so far ;)
How is this? People you have never met and then this bond builds over cyberspace.... I find that intriguing.
I am here for the people too :D
Thank you for sharing your reasons <33
