Thank you, Taraz! The folks at HW are good and they do a thankless job. They are use support from all community members, especially prominent ones like you :)
I love to have a conversation about this. Also love to see how much recycling is going on, and how much of it is spam and how much of it is with good intention. As you correctly pointed out, it is not easy to determine that for a bot (at this point). But I am sure @abh12345 can come up with some data. He always does :)
There is recycling and then there are recyclers. I know that there has been plenty of photography posts that were getting "reworked" many times, and having their original edited.
Putting me on the spot again :)
It's tough going, especially with removing old photos and adding them again. Hivewatchers/steemcleaners/cheetah check for repeated text, over a certain % I believe.
