"Can we use photos that we already posted elsewhere?"
@sammy00 & @melinda010100 ~ If you mean photos that were posted to your Instagram, Twitter, etc., yes, you can use them on Hive! Be sure to state in your post: "Photo by me, from my Instagram" or something similar! 🙂
What about photos that were used in a different post on Hive or Steemit. I've long since lost track of which photos I posted previously. I'm hesitant to create any posts these days.
As long as we aren't repeating entire posts, it is fine to re-use a photo with different content. I've done that before without problem, reusing a photo with additional info, a different twist in the tale, etc.
The whole thing about "reusing content" being viewed badly is this: The platform is trying to discourage lazy people from re-posting the same content over-and-over rather than creating something new. Hive will have more value as an ecosystem when the content published is always fresh and original. Using an old photo with a couple of shiny, new paragraphs of text accomplishes such! 🙂
tnx for response
will try to stay within things that is written
taking new photos is not bad idea :)
