We keep talking about how we want to promote Steem to as many people as possible, but I'm starting to wonder if this is such a good idea at the moment. I mean, if a reasonably sized Youtuber can't even earn more than a few cents without spending hours upon hours interacting with obscure communities on Discord, then how can we expect the bigger ones to ever make the switch.
I've been watching this guy named on Youtube for a while now, he makes video's about treasure hunting and I think he's extremely interesting to watch. I've only recently discovered that he's also on Steem, but I've noticed that he doesn't get any interaction on his videos. That's really not too great for the image of Steem or Dtube as a replacement of Youtube, right?
Okay, you can point out that he publishes more content on Youtube and doesn't put as much effort into his Steem account. Then again, why should he? It's just so damn hard to get any sort of following here, without spending a lot of time communicating with other people.
Check out one of his Youtube videos, if you're into treasure hunting:
How can we change how the system works here? How can we make it so good content gets discovered more easily? Do we really want vote buyer to rule the trending page, while genuinely good content disappears?
Kleshguitars isn't a big Youtuber, but he still has 25k subscribers and most of his videos have over 1000 views. If I didn't upvote him, he wouldn't earn anything here on Steem. I really want this to change, so consider giving him an upvote, just so he doesn't get discouraged. Leave a comment as well, if you're into treasure hunting.
I've already added him to my Steemauto for a 100% upvote on every post he makes.
