While all this is still an experiment and a test for steempeak.
I really hope the appeal to cross-posting isn't about the reward money. I hope it's about sharing content with a community. There can of course be abuse of this system so we hope communities stay vigilant and state their preferences.
But also what steempeak is doing is a totally decentralized method that any other interface may also do. Consider telling them you want them to include support. It's not a challenging thing to implement.
This is very true:
The only difference is how the cross-post looks like in the interface.
Also this project should be referenced as "Community Cross-Posting" that's the intended aim... Not topic/tribe cross-posting at this time.
Very well pointed out. Sharing an important topic with a community IS the "first and foremost" advantage of cross-posting.
I was however excited by the possibility to monetize older-than-7-days content, in a non-abusive way obviously.
Update: The manner I see best fit is to cross-post worthy content of other authors, not your own, and with consideration for the intended audience and its rules. Personally I'm a very light resteemer. If no other rules would apply, I would guide by similar principles when cross-posting as when resteeming.
very cool thanks for the response and clarification!
