Should I move away from YouTube?

Yes. You can try Dtube:

Which is linked to Steem and Steemit. To find out more, see the following article:

To understand DTube we must first talk about and understand Steemit, a blockchain-based social media platform that launched in July of 2016. Essentially its a Reddit-type service where anyone can earn rewards by posting, curating, and up-voting relevant content. Monetary rewards come via a cryptocurrency token named STEEM, and in US dollar-pegged tokens called Steem Dollars. So think of Reddit (i.e. users post links, and vote good content up, and bad content down) but every user who participates gets a monetary reward.

Decentralized Tube (or DTube for short) is a YouTube-like video platform that is built as an application on top of Steemit. So its on the same platform utilising the same rules but specifically for video content. Essentially, users post videos, and are rewarded for creating and uploading content.

And obviously you can post your videos onto Steemit and earn Steem for them.

Steem and Steemit have so much to offer the crypto space, I'm kind of sad that people don't use it, and instead stick to Youtube.

Many of this platforms may not be able to function properly if their natives coins remain stagnant. Blockchain economy model is quite different in my opinion. So we should be mindful of deviating from it.
I think people should be thinking of a new ways to keep the economy of cryptocurrency sustainable long-term. I would even prefer communities of promising cryptocoins to voluntarily delist their coins from most Centralized exchanges and have coins on few exchanges they could refer people to buy them from. I think this can restore some of the projects to their former glory.

Communities should also be willing to brainstorm on ways to attract hundreds of millions of people allover the world. This is one of the main advantage government-backed companies have over decentralized cryptocurrencies.

People should learn to be alittle tolerate of so called shit posters. They're probably the ones who need these decentralized platforms the most. I believe they will learn to be a little perfect eventually with rewards and punishments. This doesn't mean great writers should be discarded. Not at all. Would be better to have them at the top & as role models for poor writers/content creators. And they must have other good qualities like hardwork, skills, talents, passion...
