Actually, if they are the only way to post their videos, they can demonetize you. No one sees the videos, therefore no one can vote them.
That’s the great thing about steem though, access from other front ends.. it’s just I see video differently I guess.
Just the claim that they can’t demonetize or censor you is false.. but maybe I guess they have a TOS that says they won’t.. and that’s good enough for most.
I was talking about a situation where you post a video and the video gets taken down after that. The monetization can still continue despite the video being taken down. That's because all videos on 3Speak are embedded in Steem posts that no one, not even the author can delete. That post can be viewed using any Steem front end even if the video couldn't. It is the post that gets monetized, not the video itself.
Yes that makes sense, even if the video doesn’t work there would be a post (with the broken link) still there that people could support. Good point.
