Hi Guys, i'm not sure if i'm rushing or not writing this but, as you can see youtube is getting worse and worse, and i'm not talking exclusive from  the monetization perspective, but believe me to be a youtuber this day is a pain in the ass not a dream anymore (i think every youtuber is complaining about this), and because your are supporting us, i can still pay Unacomn's salary for what he's doing on the channel (not too much but this is all i can offer him, actually everything from you and from youtube is going into his salary, nothing for me)

"What is my idea with this post?"

You see, for the last 5 months i was looking for alternatives for our content to be more visible and more profitable.

In terms of Sponsors, mhhh, not really, they want more views and more targeted viewers, and we don't have +50% from USA what they are desperate to get !

In terms of Viewers on Youtube, i can't really do more than i do, i'm posting our show on 10+ social media + other websites + forums

"Why i'm searching for alternatives so late?"

Is not late, is not late at all, and you know, i believed in Youtube, i really did, and i didn't have to many options back then. (Which is truth, but not really, why? stay with me to find out more)

"What i did in my 5 months when i had time to do research?"

I kept looking for something and i got involved in CC (CryptoCurrency World) but we will discuss about this later.

"What i found?"

1. https://vid.me/hdgaminghd the first thing i did was to find more informations about this platform before to jump and upload every video we have. I found that this platform was actually founded in 2014, and this info amazed me (their PR & Marketing Team should be ashamed, they are worse than me somehow).

I would not have found this site if youtube would'n force me, and like me other youtubers did the same thing, they found this website just because youtube started to hate us and to embrace more and more communism and TV shit...so, we need a new home, we need to get our freedom back !

After i found Vid.me, it was my hope for the next 10 minutes after i found that, vid.me was more like a combination between patreon and youtube...how is that?

On Vid.me if you wanna get money as a Creator, your viewers have to tip your videos with what money amount they want to or they can subscribe on your channel for a month and you can offer'em extra videos or they can see the video before others. Sure, since last month now they have ADS which don't work...or maybe is just for me...or is because their ADS System is in Beta...the idea is, you can't make money, real money, without a big community and their website is pretty empty....

Vid.me for the Future? Maybe, not sure, we'll see...

2. https://www.dailymotion.com is not new, i know this website, is sucks, spam,spam and spam, you can't really make something there, they have ads sure, but the website is toxic is just a place for garbage and copyright videos which aren't allowed on youtube, the only way to make money there is to spam with videos which aren't yours (like game trailers, tv shows etc...) and hope they will be indexed on google and someone will search for your video titles. The Dailymotion Dashboard is unusable for a real content creator.

Dailymotion.com for the Future? Nop, maybe if they will make a rebrand or something...

3. www.metacafe.com I'm kidding, i really don't want to waste your time here...

Now let's talk for real (CC is activated now ! )

4. www.steemit.com/@free999enigma First thing, this is a platform based on cryptocurrency (CC) and is not what you would call a youtube alternative, because is not based on videos necessary and you can't upload videos on it. Is more like reddit + microblogging. BUT still, here you can make posts with your videos and about your videos like this:

https://steemit.com/gaming/@free999enigma/top-7-date-games

https://steemit.com/gaming/@stefanonsense/the-settlers-2-10th-anniversary-edition-review-city-builder

The most interesting thing about this platform is that creator and you, yep, YOU can make money.

On short, when you post something as a creator you are earning money when people upvote your posts but to make more money people who votes your posts have to has Steem Power which can be earned when they upvoting posts or when they post comments and other people will upvote their comments and beside that from comments they can earn Steem which is right now 1,3$.

Math Time !

If your post make 100$ after 7 days the system will split the money like this 75% goes to the creator and 25% will go to curators (people who upvoted the post)

After that you remain with 75$ which will split again, 50% in Steem which can be converted into Bitcoins and after in USD and 50% in Steem Power so the final money you will get are 37,5$ but you can use your Steem Power to upvote you posts.

Don't be Worried !

When you upvote something you don't have to use your Steem Power or Steem, nop. Steem Power is just representing your UpVoting or DownVoting Power and that's it, you don't have to waste any money from your wallet and more then that you can earn some money !

If you want to know more go on https://steem.io/ but i hope i explained good enough to make you to understand what is this thing about in a great measure.

www.steemit.com/@free999enigma for the Future ! Yep 99% not saying 100% because you can't be sure of nothing, but i really believe that, this is gonna be from now, that's how a platform should be everyone's wasting time and time is the most value thing, so everyone should get something to earn in exchange. 

Stop Wasting Your Time on Facebook at least go and post your life somewhere where you can get money from that not only FBI :))

5. View.ly @ Right now i only know that this is gonna be the real youtube alternative. A website where everyone can say everything they want because is decentralized. Sure, you'll have to use your storage (PC) from where people will get to watch your videos or you'll have the option as a creator to pay to storage your videos in data centers which will be decentralized too.

In terms of monetization maybe this website sounds like Vid.me but is better. 

They will have their own CC named "VIEW" or something like that.

I'm stopping here because this project is still in progress nothing released yet so we have to wait and see (actually you have an alpha here alpha.view.ly) 

View.ly for the Future ? Sounds Like ! But i'm skeptical about the monetization part...

6. lbry.io Let's say, in big words, it's like View.ly. If you wanna try LBRY you have to get the app from the site (That's the part that annoys me, i prefer one place to access all i need, like, a browser)

The only thing they have for now in terms of monetization is that, creators can set a "price" for their shows and because is based on CC you'll have to pay for the show with LBC.

LBRY.io for the Future? Maybe.... LBRY in this stage...looks more like an archive for videos and looks like one and you don't have to many options to monetize..

Once Again "What is my idea with this post?" 

I hope after you've read this entire post now you know more about the future and you'll know where to find us in case youtube will burn one day at all. Why Not, Maybe now you can start looking for another job in the this CC World, maybe something that will please you not just in terms of money but in terms of freedom too.

Out there are a lot of new startups based on CC for everyone and right now you can go on www.steemit.com, let's say if you are a photographer, you can post you Amazing Photos and make some money without having to work 8 - 12 hours per day.

One more thing. Bitcoin (Apr 2010) was 0.003$ - Bitcoin (Aug 2017) is 3344.69$

Quite relevant post considering the current state of YouTube things. I also use Vidme ;) https://vid.me/CompleteNonsense

Need to find an alternative to YouTube and their policing of things they deem to not meet some standards they make up on the fly.

Informative post. I started using dtube. It is a decentralized video platform that is linked to your steemit account.
