Hello Steemarinos!
Today I talked about:
user @exyle and the Cheetah bot, and its inability to keep up with post dropping.
user @steemtruth and his wonderfully heartfelt blog about caring for his father.
https://steemit.com/life/@steemtruth/caring-for-a-dying-parent-that-i-don-t-like
And the Steemian of the day: @tubcat who promotes great content, flags the bad stuff and writes great blogs for the newbies on Steemit!

I immediately feel bad for posting some of my youtube videos. Personally, my goal was to introduce those on this platform to my work. I have a handful of videos that I think I'd like to have here to basically establish what can be expected from me. Honestly, though, I'm liking the idea of branching out a bit and I fully plan to contribute some content that I keep exclusively on steemit/d.tube. There are several topics that I've wanted to touch on in the past, but had nowhere to have a fresh start until now.

That's not bad at all! I have posted previous YouTube videos as well! You're right it is a way to give people a little taste of what to expect from you! (Though, in the beginning, when you aren't making much yet, it's way better to make original dtube videos as you have the chance of a decent payout) I didn't want to call anyone out specifically, but I was mainly talking about one blogger in particular who has been on here for nearly two months, and has just verbatim copied and pasted from her old blog every day. I personally think that is really lame, no matter how much work she put into her blog before. She is a decent writer, so I would expect that she could write new content for this platform. Like, I said it's a touchy subject, but it was in no way directed at newbies!!

I'm already learning how annoying this can be. Checking the psychology tag, holy crap it's just one person who posts like 20 times a day. I'm definitely going to be talking about other topics with dtube, just for the platform. I posted a brand new article last night. So I definitely see where you're coming from. Writers should certainly write new things.

Don't feel bad! YT could take down your channel anytime they want and they cheat. (devumi . com)

Thanks for explaining Cheetah, he claimed he upvoted me but I never got the vote, so now I know why.

Yeah Cheetah is strange. It says it upvotes people, but is very particular about who it upvotes.

My understanding is that Cheetah leaves a comment and upvotes... but that upvote is removed once that post gets reported.

I see! I read through Cheetah's FAQ but couldn't figure out exactly how the upvotes work! Thanks!

I just found you tonight, I like your videos, but a pop filter would go a long way for your audio quality. A very cheap investment. Heck, in the meantime, use a sock!

I have a pop filter, but I thought it would be too visually distracting. I only really use it for recordings that I can't be seen in!

Have you thought of using a lapel microphone or even ear pods that come with a mic? I see a lot of people on YouTube use them successfully and if you already have one it wouldn't cost you anything. Just a thought

I don't have a lapel microphone, but I do have a podcast mic! Maybe that would be better since it's specifically for speaking? I don't have the money to buy any new equipment right now, but I really appreciate the honest feedback!

I've got a lapel mike that just plugs into my phone... it actually works super well and I think it was only $15. In Premiere Pro you upload the two different files (audio and video) and it syncs them up really easily....
I had no problems with the audio personally, but I really like that everyone is trying to help out, that's really sweet.

I have a mac and use fcp so I am not sure if that works the same way! I will look into it though!

I know what you mean, they can be pretty obnoxiously bulky, but the audio pop is definitely distracting from your otherwise entertaining narrative.

I didn't want to put my old content up because I agree with your sentiments on double dipping but I can understand other people who do this because it can be tempting to keep your work "eternal" on the blockchain. Though there are a few pieces I want to recreate to better suit Steemit, I agree that it is a better place for new and unique content & topics.
Your videos are great. Its my new source for Steemit news. You've created a great strategy for creating consistent and new, unique content. Keep it up

YT can take down your channel any time they want, besides, you spent time creating something so there is no reason to not try and sell it at a later date. If a painter has his works hanging in a gallery, is that a reason to not sell it to a paying customer?

I mean, I guess that's true, but also very different. Art is somewhat timeless, compared to say, blogs about cryptocurrency from 2012. I suppose it depends on what content you are putting out. Cheetah wouldn't exist if Steemit wanted you to repost from a previous source, but bear in mind that Cheetah can also only identify verbage, as opposed to video or pictures. I think even a mix of both is just fine, but as I posted to @spacetimebadass, I don't really think it's cool to just plan to use Steemit to copy and paste a year's worth of old blogs. I think that's pretty lame. And I realize some may disagree, but that's my stance on it.

Absolutely! I post both, some previously uploaded to YT, but also DTube exclusives. I have zero objections to you posting some of your old videos, both because they are timeless, and the amount of effort that went into making them. I guess you are right about time sensitive material from a year ago, there really is no point in posting that.

Yeah it's very tricky. I imagine there are lots of other blockchain websites available if people just want permanent storage for their content. I can see the temptation to just add the content here though. It's a new audience after all!

Yes! Well done @tubcat - you're the best!
This is excellent Beth... I love that it includes lessons as well as the Steemy news, we can have such a great platform if we all spend time informing users of what's cool and what isn't.
People can totally post their old videos and content, or link to it at least, as long as they provide some insight to why it's relevant today, and how they feel about that piece now. I agree with your sentiments, we all used to exist before Steem, and we should be proud of our prior work, but doubling up doesn't help anyone...
Original content is king!
I'm so glad you're getting some great votes on your videos!! It honestly makes me happy to see your amazing work get rewarded... this is exactly what Steem should be all about.

Shhhh we're meant to be keeping Tub Cat's secret identity a secret! :P
But Tub Cat thanks you for your congratulatory message. Now he must go back to the endless streams of new content and yelling a people spamming the Steemit webs.
