This is good food for thought!!
If I'm good enough, I will start getting deals and jobs to perform
I completely disagree, it's more about how much money you invest to get more views and being seen, it some ways Youtube and Instagram are failed experiments, for people like me that are vocal against injustice, unfairness, that don't believe in the New World Order.
Because when you vouch for Youtube and Instagram, you are backed up by big corporates, that will control you.
Something that you forgot mention and that the biggest part for me:
CENSORSHIP.
How many channels closed down in the last year on Youtube because "Not complying with the policy", in other words, they were talking about subjects that bother these big corporates?
I am sure you are not aware of it, but the "Alternative Media" as we call it is dead, thanks to Youtube and Instagram, because their "Entertainers" like to show shallow content, for shallow people, for idiotic moronic sheep, and that's what is at the top of the "What to watch".
All the people asking questions are gone, and most of them just plainly got discouraged after years of work was closed down with a snap of a finger.
I had a news channel with more than 1000 subscribers, I was proud of it, do you know what is "Shadow Ban"?
It means that Youtube is having your IP address in their system and make sure that you sub count stay low, and your video will never be seen.
I am vouching for Steemit and any other decentralized platforms any days, because I can say whatever the fuck I want here, and no one can stop me to do so.
I couldn't care less being a part of the minority, this is where I belong, I don't wanna be friends with Facebook people, we are better than this!YOU are better than this too, we need your here :)
So that's actually the reality we live in, this is Us against Them and they have way more money than US.
To be honest, I don't think it's possible to compare Youtube and Dtube, or Steemit and Facebook, because they are born from a complete different ideology.
