This video, here, is a test of how real Steemit is:
How? Why? What?!?
When I first discovered Steem, I was, like:
(except I’m a boy…)
I saw some dude, some music dude, who’d posted his showcase vid, and, unlike Youtube, no nasty crazy stupid comments - instead, erudite, sophisticated, gentlemanly mini-tomes, extolling the virtues of his excellence.
And I be like, fuckin-A - this is my place.
But, the Sherlock Holmes in me took over. I clicked through…
And discovered...it was a fake, it was a fraud, it was a farce.
The dude had, like, 60 comments on his video here on Steem. The dude was rocking. The dude was trending.
But on Youtube I saw that the very same Youtube video posted in the top of his Steemit blog post had only three views!
So, people had been posting comments, “liking” it, etc., to get credits, Steem dollars, whatever...just another empty, fake, fraudulent place on the ‘net, it seemed.
But, to be sure, I’m doing my own experiment. If you comment below, please include in your comment the numeral equivalent of the square root of sixteen. Then I’ll know you read this far. And the video posted above - as of today - is UNLISTED on Youtube (I’ll list it later). So if I have 60 comments here about how wondrous my vid is, but six actual views on YT, I’ll know...the truth...and return to living in the real world...
I want Steem to be the place I've been searching for...where the internet is what it ought to be...I'm hopeful...but...we'll see...
