I believe we are going to see this more and more over 2018 and beyond, because people are just fed up with all the centralized bullshit going on!
Plus, YouTube pays balls to creators, assuming they could even monetize their content. Oh, and now, somebody just starting out needs 1,000 subscribers, and 4,000 hours of watch time just to be considered by Google to have monetization capabilities.
Whereas on Steemit and DTube, creators have the ability to earn money for their creations on day one! 🐳
