Well after seeing a post on Youtube about a creator being demonetized and then having Patron pull their service from the creator leaving him without any means of revenue via video uploads. I wanted to see what was out there as an option to make something (money wise).
I myself was really happy just getting my $10 a month on YouTube when they decided to change up the requirements with sub count and watch time. My evergreen stuff was about Passports, Truck Repair and Speedy Rewards. Then there would be the vlog style style stuff, inspired mainly by Casey Neistat and other creators. I know I'm not going to get crazy rich, but it was nice to pay for my yearly subscription to Amazon Prime with the money from YouTube.
This brings me back to the point about YT censoring or blocking out content of creators. I know there can be offense content but I choose to watch what I want to watch. I'm not hurting anyone. I do like to learn other views and understand where or why that point of view is important to another person. I still may not agree with it but I'll understand.
So Thanks for reaching this far, like upvote, Steemit whatever we do here.
Always keep moving forward!
There's more and more people coming over here from those platforms, I'm one of them.
I'm sorry to hear that you're a victim of the algorithm, it has hurt a lot of people. YouTube was once amazing, but it has become dated and has long since stopped innovating.
Actually, instead of innovating they've become a sanitized corporate shell of what they once were, and it makes sense why people are leaving.
Steemit is incredible, I strongly advise giving this platform and the others (dtube, etc) strong attention. A lot of creators are using the Steem blockchain as their 'home' and are using YouTube just as a means to funnel people to Steem.
Anyways, it's a wonderful, complicated new social world - but there are a few things I should probably tell you.
Censorship happens on Steemit as well, but in different ways to YouTube. On Steemit, the whales with massive amounts of Steem Power have the power to downvote and silence people they don't like - now this also works in the inverse, you can be massively signal boosted by a whale who loves your content, so it's not entirely bad, but just keep it in mind.
There is a massive amount of bot activity on here because of the nature of Steem Power and how it works. I strongly recommend reading up on the three currencies, their purposes and how you can use them.
The best Steemit app for Android or IOS is Partiko, that's a great tip.
Anyways, glad to see another one of us on here!
I'll follow, upvote and resteem this to show my support!

Thank you, I got no "Mana"? But when I do I'll be sure to comment and reach out to you. Thank you again!

Yeah no worries man. The 'mana' is a reference to the Steem credit system.
Basically because everything you do on the Steem Blockchain (opening an account, leaving a comment, uploading a video, upvoting, etc) is a transaction that incurs a real-world cost, which is paid by the Steem mining community.
Each block that gets put on the Blockchain (every transaction) must be mined by someone, and doing that requires you to have a dedicated machine that is almost always turned on - which obviously costs money to do.
The 'mana' aka, the credit system exists to limit the number of transactions you can make at any given time, as to not overload and congest the network.
Btw, the amount of credits allotted to you is effected by how much Steem Power you have. The more Steem Power, the more credits. The more credits, the more comments and upvotes and uploads you can do in a given time frame (usually 2-4 days).
Anyways, your ability to comment and upvote will grow as your author rewards and curation rewards start awarding you Steem and Steem Power.
Anyways, sorry to ramble - I say all of this because I know I wish I had someone explain it to me when I started. lol.

Welcome! Just know you get out what you put into it. A big part of it is knowing which Dapp to invest in and when to invest in it. But I guess if we all had a crystal ball we would be rich! There are some great people here and if you have discord that helps. Try to fall in with a group and stay on the new posts page, that’s where I meet the majority of people.
Have fun!
