RE: You Cross Post... "Me, Unfollow"
Haha love the title!
Agree with the title.
And as I told my friends today I will not vote any cross-post and if I see my autovoter votes on a crosspost by any chance, I will manually remove my vote and I will not feel bad about it :D
(until the whole idea is somehow tweaked so it doesn't look like pure reward farming)
Yes, I understand that now communities have changed a bit the exposure of posts, that are uploaded through a specific community, and are not visible on your blog anymore,
About that part. I don't see what is the big fuss about and what exactly changed. All authors posts are visible in the "Posts" tab. What is the point of crossposting them to "Blog" tab?
Also... before the communities we introduced I could see all the posts of people I follow on my feed. Now with communities I still see all their posts. No matter where they post. They are all also visible in tags.
So either way it is just a legal excuse or I am missing something.
You're missing that they have a new excuse to spam the crap out of steemit and to rape the rewards pool... Yeah, basically that! Cause there's no need to post over and over again the same thing to "be visible" to everyone when people just have to click "all posts" to see everything! People always find a way to do wrong things and then label them as good! Jeez! 😒
Yeaaa... only today I saw someone crossposting stuff from 9 months ago.
For curators like us this is a freaking nightmare! Aaaaah!
Good point.
Weird. After four years of existence Steemit still hasn't found the sweet spot and continues on a bumpy road. I don't know why that much hype about communities. I still mostly read what my list of following folks post. Cross posting though really invites good fellows becoming some sort of abusers. It's simply not right to earn twice from the same post on the same platform. Then we wonder why Steem has fallen that low. It's not too convincing for investors with all these flaws and conflicts.
Dude, I'ven seen people "crossposting" up to 5 times the same thing! 5 posts with the same thing and all the posts with rewards... this is so wrong!
I guess I don't follow the right people :)) It's totally not fair for the rest of ones and again auto votes are proving themselves to be an issue.
Exactly.. some people act like the feed is gone and panic.
Nothing is gone. It is all there as it was. Communities just give extra by sorting the content (or not). Just like tags.
I'd say they don't basically do the same thing as tags because most of the people now post in the most upvoted communities, so communities as tags are not that representative. To some extent though they do facilitate better engagement and finding people alike. For example photography dedicated communities I guess succeed very well in doing that.
Not exactly the same, but give the extra search option (or categorizing post if not posted in those general communities, but thematic ones) besides the tags that still work as they did before. Nothing was taken away.
