Youtube anti adblock policy boosted Den.Social
Youtube has introduced an anti-adblock feature, which alerts users with pop-ups and interrupts the viewing experience. Such restrictions strengthen the position of alternative social media such as Den.Social, Tangled, DeSo, Torum and many others. We are witnessing a revolution in social media, and the sooner it happens the better for us.
View advertisements or make a payment
The reasons why Youtube users use adblocks are many. The first and most important is that ads are unwanted. We impatiently wait until the minimal time has passed in which Youtube forces us to watch the ad. As soon as this time is over we quickly click "skip ad". We want to watch content, not ads. Youtube is known for its infamous practice of violating the right to freedom of expression. Censorship of content producers is a daily routine, done under the cover of user interest and protection from misinformation. The amazing fact is that the same values do not apply to advertising. Many of them are obvious scams. Especially in the field of cryptocurrencies there are countless ads in which the authors of these ads claim to be well-known people in the community and try to get money from viewers. Even reporting such abuses to Google does not result in their removal from the site. Users use adblock because the ads spy and sometimes even spread viruses. Youtube is based on ad revenue, which is why it ignores these facts and rather forces users to pay for the ads not to appear. An ad-free YouTube Premium subscription costs users $13.99 per month.
Rise of social media built on blockchain
Ignorance of user welfare is the fuel for new social media based on blockchain technology. Projects like Den.Social have their own economy built in and ad revenue is not needed. Currently, Den is ad-free. The platform does not forbid ads, but the approach to them is definitely different from that presented by the largest corporations. On Den.Social ads are treated like any other content. If the users like them, they receive positive feedback. Those that are annoying will be evaluated negatively by users and will stop appearing. This is the wisdom of the group and not a heartless, profit-driven algorithm for corporations.
Den.Social, like Tangled, DeSo, Torum and other blockchain social media has its own currency and economy. Thanks to this, users are rewarded for almost everything they do on these social media. Content creators are treated exceptionally well. It is not necessary to have hundreds of subscribers and thousands of viewing hours. Users are rewarded from the very beginning and this is a priority for these media. Engagement only increases the number of rewards received. Den even gives you the opportunity to become a part owner of the platform and get a passive income not only from your own activity, but also the creations of others. Various forms of publishing are possible, videos, photos, articles, and even a few word posts are treated equally by the community. Youtube decides which videos will be recommended and thus blocks access to a wider audience for those who have small channels or publish something that does not suit the corporation. On Den.social it is the users who judge what content is valuable and visible on the platform. To avoid the temptation to censor content, the creators of the platform have programmed it in such a way that this is impossible. Freedom of speech is assured.
Den is still in beta version, which is regularly developed and improved. Currently, video content is added via Youtube. In the future, the platform will also support other forms such as Odysee, Rumble, Vimeo and it will be possible to upload videos directly to Den. Despite these initial limitations, Youtube videos published on Den are ad-free.
