Would this not run into the copyright issues most other distributed hosting networks run into? Especially since it allows directly monetizing the content.
Most likely, it will. But since it's decentralized, it would be hard to enforce copyright.

#32Interesting idea, but unfortunately (and as expected) full of antisemitic and „new world order“ conspiracy stuff by people that claim YouTube is censoring them.
Don't you think some of that could be perpetrated by Google, to sabotage competition? Same thing plagued Vidme, but the thing is - you can find the same stuff on YouTube - it's just more diluted by other content.

#33That is, if I upload a video of a cat doing some funny thing I'll get more tokens (potentially) that with a super technical video.

#34Steem looked like an interesting idea, but your content lives and dies with the platform's whales, which are either insiders or a few people who believe in the platform. If the whales don't interact with your content, you're not likely to get much revenue. You voting power -- the amount you contribute to content you interact with -- is directly tied to your steem power, so unless you put money into the platform or ma…
>whales Thus, the importance of community. We all yearn for a return to the era of community-oriented sites, built by enthusiasts and maintained by the life-force of real people, whose intentions are not commercial in nature but rather community oriented. So, I look forward to the eventual retiring of this heinous term, "whales". It is the community that matters.
In other words, is it reasonable to expect STEEM to not primarily attract those with commercial intentions?

Why is this a bad thing, let people post what they want to. Also if someone says YouTube is censoring them why wouldn't you believe it?

#36But from all I can tell this is just a good old website. Somebody has control over the domain name. Points it to servers of his choice. And the servers deliver content of his choice. What's decentralized about it?

#38I like the idea and would love to try it! I have one small concern though. Since the incentive (money) is given to popular videos, why people should post unpopular opinions in Stemmit or videos in Dtube? That is, if I upload a video of a cat doing some funny thing I'll get more tokens (potentially) that with a super technical video.
