Everywhere I'm looking at lately in the centralized world I am seeing accounts getting demonetized, banned and copy-striked. It seems like the world has gone insane in my eyes. How they do anything their advertisers require of them without giving two Steem about their loyal content creators. Imagine having worked hard on your channel and videos, and to instantly get your income source that has taken you so long to get to slashed completely. Yes, they keep undoing their decisions every now and then when it's a big user that starts trending on Reddit, but the majority of the platform that has their voice unheard. They are getting killed out there, not having enough of a following to make it back up quick on another platform. I can only feel sorry for them, especially when it's being done in some ridiculous ways like someone copy-striking your video you've worked months on just because you had a three second clip from a Disney movie in a 30 minute long video.
Even if the content creator is big enough that he survives on another platform and starts gaining subscribers again, the advertisers rule will still apply in one way or another. Twitch for instance, has been so weird about their bans lately often showing bias to certain streamers not only with who gets banned and who doesn't but also advertising certain streamers onto other's streamers adspace. Even if everything for you works out alright, there will always be that risk in the back of your head, reminding you that it can all be taken away if you just so happen to say the wrong word once. Good luck with those competetive games, streamer!
I don't know about you guys, but it looks to me that at one point a few streamers, content creators, etc, etc, will give blockchain a try, even as just a side thing, but in the end realize how safe it is even if there's just one key keeping it all safe. Much safer than the judgements of hired employees only caring about their main revenue; advertisement.
It's almost like a lot of big giants seem to be showing signs of weakness before the real fight has even begun.
