Hey! My name is Schlatt. I make video essays, podcasts, and everything in between. You can find me on YouTube and Twitter, but I've been searching for alternatives to both of these sites for months.
On January 8th, YouTube suddenly and unjustly deleted my channel for "violations of the community guidelines." There was only one problem: I had never broken a single guideline. I talk about it more in the video linked above. Long story short, I've had it with YouTube treating me like shit, and I've been looking for another platform to share my videos with. I think I've found it here on Steemit and Dtube!
The decentralized nature of cryptocurrency has always appealed to me, and having a decentralized platform to upload my videos to is exciting as hell. No longer will I have to worry about my channel being terminated for no reason, nor will I have to worry about losing ad revenue because my videos are "not suitable for advertisers." This is huge for me, and I'm psyched to get started here.
