YouTube may have just put the final nail in their coffin
as a new policy just removed monetization from millions of channels. If you have under 1,000 subscribers and less than 4,000 hours of watch time in one year your channel has been demonetized removing all incentive to want to work hard at producing daily videos!
In this video
Dan Dicks of Press For Truth goes over his top 5 picks for informative truther channels that have been effected by this new policy with the hopes that they can get over the new 1,000 subscribers hurdle and also that they'll join Steemit.com and start posting to d.tube to earn a revenue that can actually sustain their work and effort that goes into producing quality video reports on a daily basis.

Channels affected by this policy should join steemit and start posting inorder to earn revenue to sustain them
I thought about posting on both sites but I decided against continuing with youtube. 3 out of the last 4 of my videos were temporarily demonetized and never shown to anyone except my subscribers. This is a cooking show which is what they want on their site. They demonetize truth channels much worse. Youtube is committing suicide, and I'm bot going down with them. My existing channel is now only an advertisement for DTube. Google inc. is pure evil.
Ehh??
--EDIT; whoops, I thought this was a comment on my reply. My bad.
huh?
Much of the interest in Steemit is due to backlash due to suppression of content that doesn't fit the mainstream propaganda brainwashing narrative that you and MSNBC, Youtube, GOogle, etc push. Steemit is not an improvement on that model because lesbian corporate whore SJW's like David Pakman (and not to mention DEVS and whales) can still blacklist and easily disappear content. Steemit is easily censored and NOT decentralized but at least it shows people there's a different way to structure video and social media platforms. I really hope Steemit gets fixed or we actually build a decentralized platform free from these parasites.
you know as i learn more about steem, i worry about that too. hope these problems get resolved.
Steemit is a stepping stone. We need MUCH better. Also, fuck David Pakman. :P
I think we all owe youtube a big thank you for driving so many great content creators to Dtube. Makes our steem worth more.
Excellent update steemit, amazing post, thanks for sharing
see, even you use youtube to post videos in your steemit blog! I couldnt get dtube to post and play like youtube videos.
I like the layout of steemit, I dont like the idea of bouncing around between platforms though.
nice post & good video
pretty harsh new YT policies. Pretty insane...
These channels are only going to hurt themselves if they continue on YouTube. They don't like truth videos and demonetize them all the time for their content. DTube is the only site they won't be sorry if they choose it. I see so many channels desperate for watch time and sunscribers and aren't interested when I tell them about DTube. You can lead a horse water but you can't make it drink it. That's basically most of what I'm seeing. YouTube is obviously going to lose many viewers because of this, and who's to say they won't make monetization requirements even more difficult a few months from now?
This is AMAZING!
Because I'm a new Vloger and I know how hard it is to go out and get those subscribers, so giving the people a shout out is just amazing!
Keep sharing
Youtube days are numbered. Check also my Dtube channel for more blockchain related topics. Thanks.

I should of gotten a nod for this. No one out works me or is as consistent.

I think it was around the year 2005 or 06 that I had the most enjoyment on YouTube. As some of you would know that is before Google bought YouTube. Not long after that they started to make changes. First they change the look of the website, just subtly. Then at some point they started a massive push for copyright. And in the recent years there has been an ever-increasing move that can only be defined as censorship and some kind of political enforcement of rules. Now we have reached the depths of human interaction with private companies. These private companies actually believe that they have the right to interfere with our freedom of speech simply because we utilize their space their platforms four different forms of communication and socialization. In their judgement it's their website so they can do whatever they want. And their judgment whatever rights they have to their company's platforms superseded our constitutional rights and human rights to freedom of speech and freedom of expression and freedom of political beliefs and affiliation Etc.
Imagine for a second that you are at the restaurant with your friends and someone starts talking about politics, and one of you voices beliefs that run contrary to what the restaurant owner believes. No he underweight is come and start washing your mouth out with soap. That would never be acceptable. That would never be legal. Even if you were to kick you out for your beliefs that would still cause a major controversy because it's none of his damn business what political beliefs you have as long as you're not pushing them on him or any other customers. But when it comes to the internet it seems that companies can do anything. They can sensor you, delete your comments, rewrite your comments and still published them in your name as if you wrote that abomination, block your profile from being seen, sell your data, delete your profile.
I am not saying that freedom of speech is absolute, what I am saying is that if someone makes a comment that is contrary to the law then let the responsible magistrate deal with it. The court can rule that it is illegal and it must be deleted. Yes that could take a while, maybe Years. But in doing so we guarantee that a most valuable freedom is not infringed unnecessarily and arbitrarily and especially at the whims of some person somewhere behind a keyboard who neither has the competence nor the necessary neutrality to make such decisions. If you are reading this message then you are part of the resistance. Freedom is non-negotiable! If they can take our freedom of speech what do you think they're coming for next?!?
