Hello Hive Family!
Sorry for the incredibly long title - but there are just so many exciting things happening in this article! In a recent Hive Post I talked about how one of the benefits of the recent Hive price pump was that we got some great media coverage by Cointelegraph. Well, I'm happy to report that both Hive and 3Speak have been mentioned again - and this time I'm actually in the article as well!
Rachel Wolfson, a reporter for Cointelegraph reached out to me saying she was writing an article about Youtube censorship and if I'd like to be quoted in it.

I have not physically had any videos removed from Youtube yet (likely because I am still a growing channel and am flying under the radar), but I'm sure it is just a matter of time. Rachel really wanted to dig into why there has been so many issues with Youtube content and if we knew anything yet - or if we are all still in the dark. I'm in a few "crypto influencer" private chats where people discuss this topic all the time, and so I did my best to sum up some of what I've seen from others. Here's a quote of mine from the article:
“I’ve heard that posting the same referral links in each video description causes YouTube to flag videos as spam. Honestly though, we have heard very little about why crypto content is being deleted. But if large players like Tone Vays and The Crypto Lark can be censored, then no one is safe.”
In addition to this comment, I actually wrote up a whole section as well about why I think decentralized platforms are such an important asset to crypto creators right now. She didn't end up including that part in the article, BUT I was stoked to see it was because she included a quote from someone else about decentralized sites! It was really positive to see both Hive and @threespeak called out specifically. The quote was from @erickpinos, a regular in this community and founder of the Blockchain Education Network. Here's what was said:
"BEN (Blockchain Education Network) has been posting content on decentralized platforms like Hive and 3Speak, but continues to leverage YouTube."
I thought overall this was a well-rounded article and I really appreciated that Rachel put an entire section in there to talk about decentralized alternatives. It seems that 3speak, Hive and LBRY all got really positive press, where Dtube was mentioned for having upload issues - but still an overall good platform to use.
Thought I would share this fun news! I always try to keep you guys updated when I'm mentioned in media coverage - and it was extra cool today because it also included Hive!
Hive on my friends. 🚀
Hi @coruscate! Thanks for the shout out. We definitely wanted to spread awareness for and push for more posting to decentralized media like Hive.
Our President's name is spelt Erick Pinos @erickpinos. We also messaged CoinTelegraph about this correction.
ahh thanks for letting me know! I tried to tag him originally at @ erikpinos and was confused as to why it didn't know up. haha Thanks so much - I'll make the correction here in my article!
Sold gold awesomeness, Lea! You're an awesome ambassador for Hive and the cryptosphere, in general!
Every little bit helps... Hive is getting a lot of news coverage these days, so we just need to keep building on that momentum.
Stay safe!
aww thanks my friend!! ♥️ Let's keep the momentum rolling. 🚀
Wow, this is killer! Thanks for putting us out there! 😃
Thanks @hiveqa! Is this a new account for @steemitqa? haha just wondering. 😉
Haha yes! good observation 😉
Yes, he is me lol 😀
For obvious reasons I had to change my account.
so many energy moving forward, great!
Lots of exciting times ahead for our community! 🚀
This is some good news to the Hive community. Censorship by YouTube and the likes are really a bone of contention. I hope people join us soon and experience true freedom
I think people are starting to become more aware, which is the first step! We still have a long way to go before the mainstream public realizes what's going on... but that's okay. One step at a time.
Nice one, Lea! This is exactly the kind of thing that we need to help put the word out there about Hive and the awesome community that we have here. All the best to you...
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the article! 💕
I am having fun reading and writing comments on the articles, especially with the lockdowns. Hive is keeping me entertained. :)

Congrats, Lea. I'm just now starting to get into Hive and researching 3Speak now that I have more free time.
