Peakd tried that with crossposting, but some non-mathing snowflakes said, 'He's making money off my work!' and pointed fingers at your's truly, when the facts were that 90% of the money went to the author and only 10% to the crossposter.
Crossposting brought the work to eyeballs that otherwise might have missed it.
100% of the votes the crosspost received were as a result of the crossposting.
But feelers are 'very important' and more interactions were less important, so they changed how crossposts work.
Now crossposts get flagged as spam as often as not.
Ah yes damn it's all flooding back I never actually used that feature but I remember it.
Tis a bit different because the creator hasn't opted into it but yeah I see your point.
