RE: So you think you own your content on steem – Sorry to tell you…..

in #steem5 years ago

I have backups and keep everything I post, most of it anyway. Images, videos, etc. If anything happens anywhere, I can reupload elsewhere. There are some things I own physically that I share (merch), other things I own digitally (videos, images), other things, intellectually (books and music I sell). But I am full aware that Steemit is a platform on which to share it all, like any other platform. While we don't want advertisers dictating what content is allowed or not, obviously, and we want to retain freedom, there is always the possibility that Steemit may one day disappear. Aside from backups, I have my own website too. I share everything here that I would share in my website, and sometimes more exclusive content just for Steemit, and I link from Wordpress to Steemit, same way I link from Steemit to Wordpress.

I say, take full advantage of the capacity to share, share all you can right now, in the present. Keep backups for later, and enjoy the journey. 😊

Steemit might disappear but the steem blockchain and the content will remain. Steemit is only on access and posting point to the block, backups are not really the problem

The blockchain is also not eternal, so worth keeping dupes.
When witnesses see the light, will be the light of an on-coming steem train.
