Thanks for this... I still think that the general public still doesn't understand cryptocurrencies and doesn't know that Steem exists. As Steem pages rank higher and higher on Google searches this will naturally change... AND THEN as the big influencers from other platforms realize they could make so much more money without having to deal with YouTube's bizarre advertising policies - they'll come over in droves.
Advertising on YouTube is getting really super intrusive.... and I think Steem is going to profit from that in a big way.
I agree with you...I dont spend much time on YouTube but it seems each time I am on there, each video I click requires I watch an ad.
They are really pushing their paid service I guess...pay them or they will bombard you with ads...nice choice.
