RE: Smartsteem applicants beware: we report to steemcleaners
Hi there, thanks for the update and a quick question: Does this rule only apply to whitelisted smartsteem users who buy upvotes for un-original content, or also to whitelisted smartsteem users who occasionally post un-original content on their feed, without buying an upvote from smartsteem?
For instance, I am a whitelisted smartsteem user who only posts original quality content on steem, but today I discovered this hilarious YouTube video of Jamie Oliver about cryptocurrencies that I thought of posting on my steemit blog. Now I know many people on steemit don't value cross-posting, so I decided not to share the video in my steemit blog, but instead use WildSpark to share the video on my Facebook and Twitter, just to be sure I do not get reported or flagged. So effectively I have drawn attention away from steemit to Facebook and Twitter today, and usually I would like to do it the other way round, but that's a result of the "no-crossposting" mentality here. Not sure if that's what we want as a community. What's your viewpoint on this?
well I would assume that you would put a little bit of text with it at least to explain why you are posting and you would not just dump a youtube link on steemit?
I have seen the video in question (its funny indeed) and we are not against reposting things but they have to be done in context. They have also to be sourced, just letting the people know where you got this from goes a long way.
good question though. There will always be a grey zone and we are doing a balancing act here as well but in my opinion there is a visible difference between people just reposting random stuff without sourcing and someone that reposts something with sourcing and in context
Ah okay, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the explanation :)
