I don't think that's Tone Vays Steemit account.

I remember Google when it first came out and would tout 'Do no evil.' Companies always start off preaching about freedom, sharing etc, but eventually become control freaks just like the established corps before them.

I just unfollowed CoinDesk. Can't wait for a decentralized version of YouTube.

I am going to message him now,  is this for real?

YES, retraction and apology are necessary F#@$ off youtube and coindesk.

Hell yeah. I love Omar's show. Decided last night I would boycott. Following you now as well.

Cheers,
@clayford08

Hey Omar, Ive seen your videos on utube recently. I just opened my first steem account and your here!! lol you have some good info :)

O well coindesk lost another customer here and will be telling all my friends to also avaoid them like a plague.  If they really had an issue with him uploading why not request him to take it down privately and escalate upon failure to reach an agreement.

It is the time for the youtube alternative, right now!

Wow what a bizarre thing to happen. Some organizations just wake up drinking the haterade and you can't spill it before they get to it. Great post @aaronmda . Check out my feed and follow if you would like to see how my Ethereum cloud mining experience goes. Cheers!

I am definitely boycotting Coindesk.com.

Thank you so much for this
Reading this gets me so mad. I will never support coindesk in any way I will absolutely boycott coindesk. They are so shallow and beyond a joke to be able to shut Cryptos new channel down. The greed is going to hurt them in the long run.

I follow Omar and view his videos. He's just a cool guy, who wants all of us to be in the know of what's going on in the cryptoworld.  I really don't understand why coindesk did what they did. Anyway, I'm done with coindesk. Honestly, they need to issue an official public apology for this embarrassment that they've caused.  Upvoted and resteemed post.

MFG on board for SURE >;] THX OMAR FOR YOUR EFFORT!!!

WE NEED CRYPTO TUBE >];[ copyright is off 20th century.....coindesk big num nuts

ANON JUST UPVOTE THIS ARTICLE!
ALL BLESS TO OMAR!!!

You got another follower here...I've definitely noticed coindesk and a couple other sources promoting centralization in one way or another -- they'll learn when they lose all their viewers!

@crypt0 was one of the first I watched - and while the length and the very own Omar-style videos made me only watch from time to time, I love his empathy and good spirit as well as his profound knowledge and interpretations of developments.

That said - before going at Coindesk, one must ask and check first, if Coindesk had not specified the handling of live streams in its terms...
Because if they did - as 80ies as it may seem to you/Omar - it then was his mistake, really. 
We live in a world of certain regulations and laws depending on our country. But in the so called "Western world", I think we can be happy with most of those laws and regulations.
Our law makers have a hard time keeping up with "the digital experience", but I hope, they will catch up now, after 20 years.

Anyway - I really love Omar for his kindness, openness and well articulated thoughts (back in 2016 most of the times while driving), but we need to be fair and if Coindesk had a policy/ToS forbidding streams on their event - well - lets call it a lesson learned!
What I will boycott Coindesk for is that they did not contact Omar and sorted it out with him....but going to YouTube immediately if I understand correctly.

Coindesk has been pretty bogus for quite some time. I'm not surprised they are being buttheads. That's an easy boycott for me to *keep on doing*!
