Keep the Beast on Life Support - Why Do We Need Centralized Social Media Networks?
I bet you didn't expect this title... Or at least the second part of it :) The first part is suitable for "my style", but the second one isn't... So, WTH is happening? I was going all in a decentralized platform, and now I'm cheering for centralized? What the heck, ph?
Let me try to explain what is it all about... There are some reasons for that, and one of them is hidden in the interview that I had with 
The problem with going "blindly" to just one platform, or solution, is that you are negating all the viewers/readers on some other platforms... And, if you take a "realist" view at the POWER today, you will notice that decentralized platforms are on the very beginning and they don't have too big reach... So, if we focus ONLY on OURSELVES, we deny possible growth... And without growth, we are tapping in the same spot...
The solution is to do BOTH... To continue publishing awesome content on our decentralized platforms (Hive, LBRY...), but at the same time, promote these content on standard, traditional centralized platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn)... To be more exact, we should use those platforms as RECRUITMENT centers for our cause...
So, I don't say that you should go ALL-IN centralized platform, but use them smart to promote your OWN platform that you LIKE and SUPPORT!
Check out the video for a couple of thoughts that you may find useful...
Thank you for your valuable time,
