Welcome @elijah526. Glad you found Steemit. I think you are going to really like it here. YT is becoming a dictatorship and sorry to hear you getting flagged there.
Anyway, just have some Patience here because essentially we're still in Beta. But lots of great potential :)
Exactly YouTube is making a huge mistake by allowing this to go on. What they’re failing to realize is that it’s the viewers and the content creators that bring value to the platform. If we’re not treated fairly many of us will seek out other alternatives.
