Dagogo from ColdFusion TV has a fantastic video summarizing the story of YouTube - from YouTube's origins to how big it has become today. Some of the numbers are mind-boggling as you may have expected.
He goes into details about the recent advertiser boycotts and subsequent demonetization controversy. It's pretty much a mess out there, but also casts an immense opportunity for a better solution for well over a billion consumers.
Incidentally, Dagogo is a proponent of blockchain technology and has discussed Bitcoin in several recent videos. He attended the St. Gallen Symposium in Switzerland recently, where he reported Bitcoin and blockchain were a hot topic. Judging from the comments on his videos, he has an extremely tech savvy base of nearly 1.2 millions subscribers.
A prime target for Steem - if there ever was one! His e-mail is available and he's approachable. I'll leave it up to Steemians focusing on outreach to get ColdFusion TV and some of his million subscribers on board.
Good idea. Is there any time frame on making a way to upload videos onto steemit? Or is there already a way and I'm out of the loop? I will shoot Dagogo an email and hope to see him talking about it in a video soon. Thanks for posting as always!

@furion is working on SteemQ, I'd suggest following him for updates on that project. I doubt Steemit will host videos ever - only the photo upload was on their roadmap. Let us know if you hear back from him!

Steemit Inc could always choose to integrate SteemQ directly into the platform.

Sure, they are most likely supporting the project (and others) too.

I will indeed let you know if/when I hear back from him. And we do need some kind of video platform before we can move all the way away from youtube. But its only a matter of time! But for now I will upload videos to youtube and just link them here. and I'm following furion now, thanks for suggesting it, and for getting back so fast. Take it easy!!

Do we know roughly how many Utubers have migrated to STeemit? I've seen a few utube vids of guys complaining about how they can't make money anymore. I'd be so distraught if I were one of those guys...

There's certainly the opportunity - there's significant criticism for pretty much every major social network. Instagram is the only one that seems to be doing well currently. It remains to be seen if the Steem community capitalizes on this opportunity. By that I don't mean just run a niche platform - that isn't so hard - but become a truly mainstream platform for hundreds of millions of users.

Thank you! Interesting post and now is time to decentralize all centralized social media platforms. Steem gives as an opportunity to achieve decentralization through a blockchain technology. We are in a right place! Keep Steeming!
