Are you one of the millions of people who makes their living producing content and pushing it out on venues like YouTube, Facebook, and the Blogosphere? If you are, you’ve likely noticed a disturbing trend. On every one of these platforms the primary form of income for content producers is fractions of a penny of the ad revenue generated by the platform owners. It’s become clear that the real heavy work is being done by those who make it live and breath, those who provide fresh content on a daily basis and the millions of consumers who come to view it.
Why then in this scenario are the platform owners the ones who are making the largest paychecks? All of the real work is done by content creators like you who draw people to the site looking to see their favorite videos, listen to their favorite songs, and get updated on those issues that matter most to them. The reason is simple, because the current centralized structure of social media was built to benefit the platform owner and profit off of your hard work.
An Alternative Exists, And It’s The Future Of Social Media
Decentralization is a powerful word in the world of those looking at the future of social media, and with the backing of blockchain technology all signs point to it being the direction of a brave new world. In a decentralized future social media will no longer be in the hands of a central authority who gets to dictate how your personal information gets used, and who gets to see your content. Presently these decisions are handled by platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all of whom are aiming at leveraging your private information to make themselves the biggest buck at the end of the day.
Further, all of your content is on a single platform, and if that platform should ever fold up or suffer a catastrophic failure, there is no protection for your content. Decentralized platforms allow you to reduce the amount of trust you have to put in third parties, or in some cases eliminate it completely.
That’s right, complete control over your content in your hands, and the lions share of your profits going directly to you instead of getting pennies on the dollar of what your platforms managers are seeing.
Freedom Of Speech Reigns Supreme
In a decentralized platform there is no overseer passing down edicts on what you’re able to provide to your audience, and even governments will have a harder time blocking access to the content you seek to provide to your users. What you do is important, whether you provide inspirational insight or merely lift the spirits with spritely humor and witty commentary, and your users have a right to view it.
