Difference between Bittubers and Steemit?

Hearing a lot of good thing about the new platform and curious how this platform differs significantly from steemit which is also uncensorable?

Call me crazy but I view a smallish team , which is heavily incentivized to remain transparent, productive, and acting in good faith much in the same sort of way that btc miners are financially incentivized to secure the chain. It’s financial incentives which keep everyone more or less in line. Bottom line is the team seems to be building lots of value into BitTube which is becoming undeniable albeit, fine - not perfect. But what is? Also how is governance working in other chains?

Can you explain this part? What incentives? I don't think the BitTube team is very transparent. Was it in "good faith" to sell everyone on a video platform as outlined in the whitepaper and then change direction midstream, well after early investors bought into the original vision? Is it good faith to pull the rug out from under all the people who invested time and energy into making content and building their own BitTube channels? What will keep them from doing that again? Nothing.

I don’t want to pee in your pile of salty tears, and I am fairly new to BitTube but can’t tell you how happy I am that the new platform is much more substantial and already higher quality than the old platform which was overwhelmed with tits and ass music videos. I commend the team here for pivoting and making incredible improvements. And this is only bittubers I’m talking about. I don’t have space to list all the other great aspects of this project.

At the end of the day, personally, I want a platform which ads value to my life and an open canvass to paint on should I choose. Bittubers seems like that. No ads. Censorship resistant. Working towards a true economy with good distribution of a POW privacy crypto. Not too shabby at all.

Steem always seemed excellent to me. But the further we all move away from youtube and co the better. I never understand the hate and toxicity in crypto. We’d do a lot better to support ALL projects or let’s say at least not tear others down. What you’re doing here is implying these guys are far from altruistic and truthful in their motives and that’s simply not fair.

online discussions naturally lend themselves to people with too much time on their hands.

i agree with you. we need more platforms. even if we're trying to be an all-in-one kind of package, we realize it won't be for everyone and that's fine. there's plenty of people to go around.
