Only in this week:
- Zerohedge.com posted an [article](https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-23/ai-censorship-and-power-steem-preserve-truth) about the power of Steem to preserve truth.
- @davidhay posted a Youtube video wherein he explained Steem to his over 100,000 Youtube subscribers.
- @tjkirk, with over a million subscribers on YouTube, has decided to embrace Steemit and DTube and is looking for the door on Youtube because of censorship.

All the censorship that is going on on Twitter, Google and Youtube due to governments who want to control what is posted on social media, is very positive for Steem. On the Steem blockchain you can simply speak the truth and record it for all time. No one can delete your content, never! It is stored on the blockchain forever.

### Steem on Zerohedge.com
The article is about the war that is heating up against our freedom to speak online and how Steem is an important tool to defend this freedom.

Quotes from the article:

> You can’t hack something whose underlying content is stored in a distributed blockchain. Because the blockchain’s ledger is immutable, what you wrote is preserved in all of its glory (ignominious or otherwise) forever.

> Steem is the way to beat them at their own game, without using their methods.  Simply speak the truth and record it for all time.

### A very positive video about Steem by @davidhay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ_I9d7Ag8U

> Steem is really a revolutionary blockchain technology. In fact, Steem is one of the first blockchain technologies that people use while they do not even know they are using a blockchain.

> Steem is a platform where we can contribute content and ideas and where we don't have to rely on advertising revenue.

Unfortunately, he still talked about the 100% inflation rate of Steem. This high inflation rate was months ago and today Steem has an inflation rate of about 8.5%. See page 2 of the [Steem Bluepaper](https://steem.io/steem-bluepaper.pdf) for more info about the inflation rate of STEEM.

Despite this, it is a very positive video so thank you @davidhay for telling your audience about this great platform.

### TJ Kirk on Steem
@tjkirk is a Youtuber since November 2006 and has over a million subscribers on his [main channel](https://www.youtube.com/theamazingatheist). Although, I don't really like his videos to be honest, I'm of course happy he says he is looking for the door on Youtube and joined Steemit and DTube instead.

Kirk joined Steemit 3 days ago and you can read his introduction post [here](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@tjkirk/tj-kirk-comes-to-steemit-and-d-tube). This post has a $1,124 dollar potential payout. Not bad for a first post ;-)

I think we have enough reasons to remain very bullish on Steem! :)

DTube is awesome and because Youtube is making it more and more difficult to monetize video content I think we can expect many more famous Youtubers to switch to DTube in the time ahead.
