WHY WE NEED TO BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT STEEMIT IS!

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I personally don't like or use Facebook but we can't honestly say it's better than Facebook. It doesn't have the user base, it doesn't have the variety of content, it can't host it's own videos. I think its kind of lofty to think it's better than Facebook or Youtube and I actually think were not pushing the platform forward if we say it is.

I do agree it has the potential to be better than Facebook or Youtube but it will be different and it will be it's own thing and it has a long way to go to get there.

Yup on "the long ways to go "...the interface needs a much better search and .... but it does say BETA ....
and you cant get much more censored than facebook or youtube ..lets hope it stays clear of that ....

Agreed!!

I would love to see this platform stay censorship free. That said I don't think Youtube is nearly as bad as many people make it out to be. Youtube doesn't censor so much as they just don't let people monetize certain types of content. If someone isn't willing to put in the effort without the bonus of monetization that's on that individual not Youtube. Not saying Youtube is completely free and open but many of these big Youtubers crying censorship is more so them being mad they can't monetize all types of content.

I find youtube has really blocked a lot of my comments from the comment section ...I get in a good conversation with someone and it just dies.. I log out and my comments are gone log back in and only I can see them... They kill the conversations in the comment sections quite regularly ....

Not disputing what you said as I don't put it past Youtube to censor stuff but I will say I notice Youtube comments can be kind of glitchy ie sometimes it shows my comments other times it doesn't, sometimes I may need to hit refresh for my comments to show, etc. Are you sure its being censored and not just glitchy?

oh ya ...my kid will log in from his place and no comment to be seen ... yet it is there as long as I am logged in .... log out and look for it and its gone ...log back in and it reappears so you think your comment is there but only you see it... Its happened many many times ... but I post a lot of political comments ... COMER vs the bank of Canada was one that got killed a lot during our last election ... could not get that post out for anything ....

I couldn't agree with you more, once we face up to what it actually is. We can all make it the best version of itself.
