I feel like an idiot. Like the first time I picked up a WYSWYG editor. Knowing potential was at my fingertips, yet outcome was beyond my grasp. Looking back to February 2016 through February 2017, what did I expect starting a YouTube channel in so late in the game (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC66IuIoKvy3WJMs8MCFgAeA). I remember YouTube in it's early days, I scoffed at the morons turning themselves into caricatures for sheer entertainment. I had not yet understood what Robert Kiyosaki mentioned in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad. The paramount importance of not trading my time for dollars was not yet clear to me. As most social media platforms have degraded into a flame war, I have avoided them. My intuition about Facebook data mining was taken poorly by my family who thought I kept a tin foil hat on my night stand. All the data breaches of late have verfied my suspicions. I remain skeptical about any 3rd party benevolent intention. The intense gravity felt by so many poor souls, myself included, conscripted into triggering the commerce clause for the benefit of the red white and blue parasite in the White House is indeed a conundrum worth solving. It is my hope that Dtube will level the (financial) playing field for content creators big or small and offer a platform free of censorship, for the benefit of all. What little I've read about upvote bots and whales influencing the course of this platform gives me pause. Due to Dtube's infancy I am hopeful these details will be corrected and hope will spring anew. So I enter the fray once again...
