Hey @dnews. I cautiously agree with you. I'm cautious because, like you said Youtube started out well, but kind of lost it's way due to corporate influence. I'm not 100% confident that it won't happen on the Steemit platform, but I am hopefull that we can avoid it.
Perhaps because of lack of knowledge, I'm a little worried about the structure of the revenue stream to continue paying out content creators. At the moment it is based off of speculative investment, but if the crypto-sphere changes it's mind about the potential value of Steem, there goes the cash and speculation seems like a fickle resource. As I mentioned, perhaps I don't understand enough, and if there is more to pin my hopes on, then I'm all ears. In the meantime, I'm happy to be here meeting cool and liberated (from the other tube) people.
Yeah that's definitely something to consider. It would take a concerted and also a conscious effort to keep it positive and also growing and active. I think many of us on here would stay, especially once we can hold our own. Right now DTube is helping us grow and Ned as well with the delegations. Hopefully (maybe by the end of the year) some of us would have gained enough steampower to continue producing content and have a decent amount of followers that the DTube ecosystem can sustain itself.
I think steemit is already self-sustaining so I don't see it going anytime soon. If the entire market rises, so does steemit and dtube.
My 2 cents :)
Super happy to meet you man!

Each platforms success will require support from the individuals using it, yet we see governments moving for adoption as a whole. Steemit is still in beta, so improvements can and will be made as necessary but we must also express our concerns as you have.
Bring the Light to the Darkness!
