Thought-provoking post. I wonder if there is anything stopping us from just posting the same content again. If users think we are spamming, they won't vote or will flag us. If they find the repost useful, I daresay they would upvote.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It was already talked about in the comments. It creates a "duplicate content" issue in Google, that will eventually penalize steemit.com, and it will also trigger duplicate content bots inside Steemit that will most likely flag and downvote the resurfaced posts.
But if go into my post on day 29 and edit it to a short statement, there isn't any duplicate content, right? I'll be trying this, just as an experiment. I had been writing long posts (see - sumac, sunflowers, hops), because I understand the role of SEO and getting new folks to my Steemit blog and Steemit. But the risk/reward ration is too high, especially when people can't comment after 30 days, or my image links may break.
A hollowed-out post can still be positive, for example: I want you to be able to leave comments, so check out the original post that I transferred to my personal Wordpress blog.
