Before heading to the gym this morning, I checked in on the trending page for the first time in a while and was greeted with a pleasant surprised. Two prominent Youtube channels, @furiouspete123 and @hodgetwins were the top trending post.
Trendsetters trending
It is great to see the organic growth of the platform with more and more influencers becoming aware of the Steem interfaces, Steemit and dTube and giving the platforms a chance. It's a great opportunity to expand reach even before new features like Communities and SMTs arrive.
I'm really bullish on Steem currently. In a time in cryptocurrency where people are questioning the utility of these tokens, Steem shines bright as a practical example of what is possible and how the blockchain can disrupt existing industries.
Censorship resistant
Steem has two qualities that make it standout from traditional social media platforms. The first being the Steem blockchain is cannot be censored.
What is posted on the blockchain remains on the blockchain
The data posted to Steem does not sit on a central server. It cannot be removed on the whim of a company executive. This is appealing to many who find themselves censored on the basis that their views do not fit with the mainstream narrative.
'We' all own the Steem blockchain
The second attractive quality of Steem is that it is not own by a company. We, the users and token holders 'own' Steem. We have the ultimate say in it's direction. With our voice being as loud as our stake in the platform.
We decide how daily rewards are allocated. However we also elect who secures the blockchain and implements changes.
We are all Mark Zuckerburgs on the Steem blockchain.
Smaller fishes in a bigger pond
I think it's great that Steem is expanding it's reach. With all the 'fish' analogies that fly around on this platform - my ultimate aim is to be a smaller fish in a much much bigger pond. That way I know Steem has succeeded and we all reap the benefits together.
NB: I'm also going to make a more conscience effort to post on dTube as well as Youtube. Whilst it is still nascent (and has all the teething problems associated with that), it is becoming an important part of the Steem blockchain and as such is worthy of support.
Shout out to @ivargereiko and @colossus39 who I mentioned in the video... looking forward to the 'torture sessions' in the coming moths.

Yea you are right. Youtube gained this fame mainly due to the content creators. If we managed to get them over here somehow will be great.
I am waiting for Gary Vee to join Steemit

@surf1an you are definitely right. I'm sure the moment we get any content creator on other platforms here, getting bullish is a bye product. They wouldn't need a coercion. Seeing Grant Cardone here some days ago really melt my heart. More people are coming that i can assure you.
This will grow so big. Why?
Youtube thrived on contents created by individuals all over the world. Same with Facebook. Same with just anything big out there.
And i am damm sure we are on the right path.
Thanks @nanzo-scoop for sharing this

There is no platform whose popularity thrives on independent content creators that won't stand the test of time.
Steemit has come to stay.
And i am very sure @surf1an that many more social media influencers will fall in. many are already here.

Steem is not just going to be bigger and better than youtube but take over because of the priviledge the steemian has over those on other social platform. Social network, social empowerment and social business awareness of steem make it worthwhile.... Steem gat me!!! Am going to shine on.

Yes exactly. Many love the trust and reputation system even more than money. Because in terms of our survival brain having a strong tribe is more important than monetary rewards. Since then if we ever need help we can get it easily since we have been kind to the community and been sharing value! How people feel good no matter the upvote size. Because it's an act of caring about another human and giving out real value.

I have been buying more Steem this week (as much as I can afford comfortably) I think its only a matter of time before Steemit overtakes Facebook. I think that the facebook ban on crypto ads is trying to slow down the number of people learning about crypto, and then learning about Steemit. I havent checked my facebook account since I started! I have also signed up several friends, some of which have gotten very big upvotes, they called me and were so excited! I cant wait to see whats in store for 2018 with Steemit. I am just happy I discovered it before 99.9% of the world :)

This is all good news.
The long-term success of Steem will depend on large corporations buying or renting Steem Power to get their message out to the masses. The great thing about this is that Steem will still always remain censorship resistant.

Agree. If Steem gains a critical mass of users, then the business case for buying Steem Power to better reach that userbase becomes more and more compelling.

This is very true sir....I am in control here!
We all have a voice and a say to some extent in whatever happens here...that is an amazing feeling. I think that is the reason most people here are good.
Nobody can close my account for airing my opinions or beliefs. I bet those other platforms are noticing already.
It is always refreshing having those that have made a name come here...that means it can only get bigger and better.
Like you said work needs to be done on dTube especially. But overall we are becoming a force.
I like the fact you keep fit and look good...way to go man.

True with these other platforms you constantly have to worry about someone taking your stuff down. Since they are very trigger happy the workers on these other major platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube! It's like a dictatorship and it becomes creepy obvious for many especially in the last 2 years. Humans are detecting how unfair this system is.

The Steemians own a piece of Steemit (Steem, Steem dollars and SteemPower) on Youtube and other similar platforms you don't own a piece of the platform, you only own what they let you. Steemit will be bigger than youtube, Twitch and Facebook combined.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Bigger than Facebook is a bit overkill lol. They have over 2 billion monthly users. Let that sink in for a moment. But yes clearly it can have some nice growth the upcoming years. But it won't grow faster than what Facebook did. Because Facebook had lots of outside money that flowed in. Don't see the same happening with Steemit.
You also forget to mention the VESTS that we own! Steem Power surely is a part of Steemit as well as Steem Dollar. But is Steem really a big part? People usually just hold it and doesn't seem to affect the community that much. YouTube is also a massive lion that Steemit will never be bigger than lol. The Google guys got so much money behind and could easily start their own blockchain and implement it into YouTube. Let's hope it happens!

I'm so bullish about it that I'm in the process of putting some Fiat in, even if the price isn't that low right now. I had been waiting for it to hit $1 before making my move, but I'm going to start now.. it may never go down that way, however it may shoot up anytime now.
If it does go down, well, then I shall just buy more :)

Yes we YouTubers currently hate the system being used right now. It's so toxic. Too much clickbait and annoying things going on. The YouTube Team it truly looks like they want to make the website as worse as possible. There is no real love or care going on from the YouTube Team. Everything is just very anonymous and weird.
For the YouTube followers they will have to adjust a little on Steemit by realise that here we engage more in the community. Because it helps build up the trust and reputation factor. On YouTube with the current system it's more passive and that just makes so troll gets more exposure. Since there is less rewards for true quality helpful content!

Yes I agree! All though I think those YouTube fans will be skeptical a very long time. They will hate the change to a new platform lol. But once we have Android and iOS apps for DTube in a few years then the switch will be easier and humans will see the higher value we get by using this new platforms instead. Our attention is worth more! Which could start a mass adoption of blockchain social networks in a few years.

There always has been people with lots of power. This system is not perfect but clearly it's better than the last systems we have used. Why would they feel a need to overly censor? That will just bring negative attention to them. I think humans deeply are good and caring and want to make amazing things happen! And I really think we sometimes forget that individual people have lots of power on this platform in terms of sharing value.

First of all you are talking about a guy that you never met in life. So it's kind of pointless to draw judgements like this. We have no idea how his personality is in real life. Usually people don't show you their real personality when they are a public person. Geeks seem strange for a non geek. He is very normal in interviews I would say. No weirdness at all.
That there is a conspiracy behind every single company is just paranoia. It's power involved and powerful people like more power when new successful companies get started. You the people are being empowered by super powerful computers in your hand but still is paranoid someone is trying to control you behind the scenes. There would take too much man power to control every single person. Nobody has time or any care to do that.

You may not be able to remove from the blockchain, but if you have enough money, you can flag it into oblivion while promoting your interests. And corporations have more than enough money to start influencing on a social media network where money controls everything. Whoever has the most money is the narrative.

Money will matter less in the future as things get cheaper to produce. Everyone will be able to have experiences that only the elite was privileged to in the past. Money in the old system surely did control most. But now when people are communicating more it will be harder to do the money influence thing. Since when everyone becomes more engaged people are more aware of what's going on. And humans are very smart in detecting stuff.
