YouTube seems to be on the skids at the moment, they are demonetising, de-indexing, and even banning some of the interesting content providers who don't toe the globlist line, I looked at Steemit as an alternative, but I'm still not convinced that that isn't a sophisticated ponzi. It seems you have to pay to get your posts ranked there. Dtube was starting to get some traction,but I haven't looked at that for a few months.
I'm another one who thinks that it would be better to sanitise the forum before trying to attract more members.
