YouTube's rising attack on crypto community. Will Steem get an advantage?

Of late, many prominent youtubers from crypto community has felt the heat of censorship against them by the big daddy YouTube.

Whether it's the news of taking down of entire channel, a few videos or just getting a strike, crypto community is terrified and disappointed with YT.

Youtube cites its vague Community Guidelines snd classifies crypto as some "regulated goods or service" or "harmful & dangerous" content.

Popular youtubers like Chris Dunn TV, The Modern Investor, ChicoCrypto, IvanOnTech, AltcoinDaily, theMoon etc. have been affected.

But many are moving to other platforms like Twitter or Patreon to give updates to their followers.

The big question is whether video or streaming dApps on Steem will play smarter to take advantage of this situation?

Personally, I don't see much possibilities here. Whether it's 3 speak or 300 speak, the total number of users ain't any inviting. YouTubers don't try to create audience from scratch but attempts to win new followers from the existing audience on that platform. Every bitcoin bull run brings in many new followers to these channels on YouTube. But it takes a lot of time for this audience to graduate to some blockchain based decentralized platform.

So as of now, dapps do not make a good entry point for masses. Just jargons like "censorship-resistant" or "decentralized" don't work if it can't onboard a huge audience.

Hmm, chicken and egg question again ...who will come first - audience or influencers?
