You're holding @apshamilton's feet to the fire, which is great. Now I'm feeling a little better about this lawsuit idea.
I'm still a little torn on the idea that Hive should be attached to this, but from the standpoint of the core complaint, it seems plausible that Hive (and any crypto project) was/is (hypothetically) restricted from participation in ad services to some extent.
To a great extent, apparently. And we don't have to be involved. I think it's just an avenue he's attaching to the whole of things, but we didn't actually exist during the time in question. However, we exist now, and the time in question has not subsided. The ad ban is still in place.
It is, and YouTube is in at least two significant court cases defending why it fails to take down crypto scams (Section 230 will be their defence). That won't look good when, on the other side of the world, they'll try saying "we censored legit businesses to protect our users".... which as we can see in court in the US, they're still failing to do in other ways that DO NOT hurt their business model.
Having said that, if they were to drop all restrictions now, it wouldn't affect our case because they did the crime and the damage already.
So many crypto projects have a claim, Hive/Steem is just one of 100's or even 1000's of project claims. By the nature of a class action, we don't need to and won't go into specific details of every project hurt by this cartel, but we have looked for great stories that exemplify core points of our case:
The Tech Goliaths actually did this and it affected real people with real projects with merit;
those projects, which we dub Web 3.0, did, do and increasingly will have a chance to be competitive with these Goliaths in their CORE businesses be that search advertising or social advertising/attention grabbing.
For both those reasons, Hive/Steem was, is and can be a direct competitor to Facebook.
There are others, I believe, after we file, some very big projects will join the case but in terms of a Web 3.0 competitor to Facebook's business model I doubt we'll find a better example than Hive/Steem which actually existed back then and continues to exist now.
LOL so you're flying under the radar, I don't mind you making waves, a little drama never hurt, we're still a well kept secret so all you do may bring some more eyes into this little cutie talking crypto
Just got to watch the rest of the interview, thanks for uploading it, I am not a big fan of Youtube at all.
One of the things I really like about the engagement league is that it is very difficult for people to game. I myself have been a part of the Engagement League since Feb 11nth 2018. (week 19 of the league). I use it as a means of seeing what I have done over the course of a the week, and where I am falling a little bit short on my engagement on Steem, and now on Hive.
Asher keeps his metrics pretty up to date, and has gone through 4 or 5 major changes. I know a lot of people when they first look at the league table have a tendency to think we are all just voting on each others accounts, we do vote and comment on each others accounts, but we do not just vote and comment on each others accounts.
For me there are about 8 to 10 people I interact with quite a bit, but I like their content. There are also 8-10 people not in the league that I interact with quite a bit, because I like their content.
I see a few new user post every now and then asking about how to grow their account, one thing I and a lot of others tell them is to interact, comment on post that are not your own, on stuff you like. I have also directed a few of them to the league when they ask a follow up question. I find it a great place for new users to find and meet the people on hive that like to type/comment.
My brain goes fuzzy when I see HIVERS use non-crypto related platforms when comparable platforms are available in crypto, even on this very blockchain.
Just wondering, my words may look harsher than I mean to speak them ;)

Also, I just posted the video so it's up now.
Yup, that's key.

the crypto queen diving into some dangerous territory here
NGC is going to the lake today. Maybe he won't notice. I've had these guys on my show before. I am excited to cover the update.

!ENGAGE 20
No. LOL. I've actually told him what I'm up to. He knows. He's cool...I think. ;)
Thanks for the engage token. And for calling me a cutie. I sure have you fooled.
ENGAGEtokens.Going where no Queen will go!
Sweet, I shall chat to you later today :)
Thank you for using the event count down bar. It made it a lot easier for me to figure out if I could watch/listen and how long I would have to wait.
Isn't it the best! I LOVE that feature. LOL. Thanks for joining us! It was great reading your comments.
Sorry I had to run, but I did bookmark your youtube page to catch the end of the show.
It was nice having you. You seem to have caught most of the interview.

Once again, thank you for uploading the video.
I think I like your explanation. It sounds nice. I'll ask him if I can join. 😃
Why do you upload to Youtube instead of Dtube?
