YouTube's rising attack on crypto community. Will Steem get an advantage?

(Edited)

Of late, many prominent youtubers from crypto community has felt the heat of censorship against them by the big daddy YouTube.

Whether it's the news of taking down of entire channel, a few videos or just getting a strike, crypto community is terrified and disappointed with YT.

Youtube cites its vague Community Guidelines snd classifies crypto as some "regulated goods or service" or "harmful & dangerous" content.

Popular youtubers like Chris Dunn TV, The Modern Investor, ChicoCrypto, IvanOnTech, AltcoinDaily, theMoon etc. have been affected.

But many are moving to other platforms like Twitter or Patreon to give updates to their followers.

The big question is whether video or streaming dApps on Steem will play smarter to take advantage of this situation?

Personally, I don't see much possibilities here. Whether it's 3 speak or 300 speak, the total number of users ain't any inviting. YouTubers don't try to create audience from scratch but attempts to win new followers from the existing audience on that platform. Every bitcoin bull run brings in many new followers to these channels on YouTube. But it takes a lot of time for this audience to graduate to some blockchain based decentralized platform.

So as of now, dapps do not make a good entry point for masses. Just jargons like "censorship-resistant" or "decentralized" don't work if it can't onboard a huge audience.

Hmm, chicken and egg question again ...who will come first - audience or influencers?

Interesting thoughts, and a hard nut to crack, however it's not impossible by any means, just harder and it will take longer.

The real obstacle in my view is that it's hard to join Steem, everyone on the blockchain is here despite that hurdle, but if a big Youtuber does decide to come here a lot of his followers will too, but the process of onboarding needs to be fixed.

Stay awesome and Merry Christmas.

YouTube also is really killing the mix,
Many musicians mix and match different music to create new music.
YouTubeu also considers that behavior to be undesirable,
also killed them.

Well, plagiarism is a legal issue and can be defined easily but the issue of Community Guidelines is very vague in this case. YT finally apologized to all such actions and gave clean chit to all crypto tubers after this discussion erupted everywhere.
