Hello Tj,
I like it here too for ease of finding one's work, there is less tags but at least you have more exposure for newbies like me, on youtube i would be barely found, and busted my ass on drawings for 6 months to gather a little less than 100 subs, and make about 15$ (i know it's not about money right but that is also a way to compare with Dtube) to be honest it's been 2 weeks here and i already have 54 followers (i know it's a funny low number compared to others, but wait) people can find my work more effectively here, and support an artist like me, or you, by directly upvoting and it makes everyone really happy to give around here, to keep their vote for good content.
People keep their most powerfull votes / monetized votes for the content they deem good, to support people, that's really very nice. And to make that "monetization" comparison, for little artist / beginners like me on this platform, i'm getting almost a full income that will help my mother a lot (as i'm disabled and she takes care of me for a long time, we have not a lot of money here and i allways feel like i owe her.)
But i understand all the concerns you are uplifting and pointing at on your video. I didn't think i could be this popular anywhere... People are commenting with heart and love on my posts and that's really meaning a lot to me, when i was getting very few / almost no comments on youtube as it hides and bury your posts or videos.
Thank you for supporting the growth of this platform, don't hesitate to make a video about Steemit on your youtube channel it would help Steemit growth ^^ (i realize i'm stupid, it's a youtube video embedded in the article ! YAY TJ !! thanks for getting the word out there !! )
