People Need To Think For Themselves And Not Follow Like Sheep

People need to stop being sheep and start to think for themselves. New developments like Project Blanc and 3Speak's upgrade can't come soon enough.

Most of you who are on twitter would have seen Coindesk posting about how they were removed from Youtube for violating the terms. They have since been reinstated, but that is not the point as it shows how vulnerable everyone is and the threat is always hanging over your head. Coindesk has over 210 000 followers on Youtube and at the click of a button it disappears.

UPDATE (Feb. 27, 03:50 UTC): YouTube has reinstated CoinDesk’s account. “We’re pleased to let you know that we’ve recently reviewed your YouTube account, and after taking another look, we can confirm that it is not in violation of our Terms of Service,” the platform said in an email.

A spokesperson told CoinDesk’s reporter: “When it’s brought to our attention that content has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it. We also allow uploaders to easily appeal removals.”

Youtube is just too big and have no one fighting back and their actions should have consequences in customers and users being lost elsewhere moving to other sites that can't just remove you.

How many red flags does everyone need to see before they start jumping ship? At some point is has to happen and it will take one or two users moving to make others realise they have choices.

The biggest problem is if you are that dominant in a market place like Youtube, Facebook and Twitter then you kind of make up the rules to suit yourself with no repercussions to your actions. I kind of compare them to a market leader in the business world who has no competition and just does their own thing changing the rules to suit their needs. There is no one to question how they operate as if you do you will be censored and banished. What Youtube did to Coindesk is inexcusable as you don't suspend someone until you have done some investigating. This shows a dictatorship style of working and is unacceptable. This should be another red flag to users of that platform and how many more do they need?

When there is a choice of 1 then you have to listen and take the bullying, but when there is more than 1 you have choices. We know 3Speak and Project Blanc are coming out offering alternatives so maybe things wont change straight away as they need to get traction but slowly eroding away at the mainstream would be helpful for everyone.

The timing of these two projects couldn't have been better as we are ready for change and now we need an alternative decentralised Facebook to make these giants of their world think. These giant social media companies may be raking in Billions of dollars but they are actually working in a fragile ecosystem that is centralised. When and not if things change we should see a far better end result as suddenly they have to play nice or their numbers will start to shrink.

I don't get it why the general public doesn't support community backed projects that they never have to worry about censorship. Hasn't everyone had enough of stupid rules especially of what we have seen over the last year with the lock downs and have had to toe the line even though many of the rules imposed were questionable.

Coindesk is all about cryptocurrencies which are mostly decentralised so surely it makes sense to join a decentralized platform. I have no sympathy with people complaining about being cut off as they need to wake up. I hope this happens more and more so people can see what is really happening. Hive is a Zuckerberg's and the likes worst nightmare when it gains traction and he may not know it yet but competition is coming quicker than he can say "BOO". I can't wait to be part of something to help erode away the centralised social media.

I recently got a 7 day ban from YouTube. During that time I used 3speak.. I would prefer to use 3speak. But waiting hours for videos to queue is unrealistic. 3speak is difficult to use. As much as I hate ShitTube it's the easiest platform to use for uploading videos.. and realistically that's what brings mass adoption..

I accept that point and agree with you as it has to be simple and easy to use plus practical. 3Speak need to up their game then and lets hope the new updates will make a huge difference.

That is funny. I would never have thought they would not like a critic and a FUD'r lol. I would never have thought you would do something like that. FUD'r is like a compliment and you should get a special badge.

I had something similar happen to me in 2016 which ended up pointing me to Steemit in 2017.

I had made the mildest, most genteel criticism of one of the candidates favored by Twitter. I'd just crossed 12K followers, when Everything. Just. Stopped.

I'd been shadowbanned...

Someone had to explain to me what was happening, as my tweets seemed to fall into an abyss and my steady follower count began dropping day by day, like a slow drip-feed.

I'd heard of Steemit in Spring 2016, and didn't believe it was real. In July 2017, I made the jump to the blockchain and am so glad I did.

Count me in any initiative to fuck their centralised world. Still searching for a decentralised mailbox if you can recommend one. Started to replace gmail by protonmail but I heard concerning news about their ties with China.

Building a presence on Hive and 3speak would be a much better move for people wanting to profit from their content. Any YouTuber's making the switch could use their existing platform presense to push people to Hive which would be a win win for everyone. F big tech. #getonhive !BEER

In reality people are still stuck with the notion that the big money can only be found in places like YouTube. It's stil the ice age for people like this.

people like easy things that in part is the reason we developed so many things and we are so advanced technology nowadays. At the same time though, loving and wanting everything that is "easy" means that mostly nobody will do their research first! (as it is "hard")

Same with crypto youtubers. They're all about crypto, but none is using 3speak and Hive.

People ARE sheep, and they love to be in a pen with all the other sheep..
