That's 11 cents you won't make if you post it anywhere else. I personally repost here my topics from other platforms and see it only as an extra income. And it's way less than 11 cents per post BTW.

You worry me when you say that. You should never take "existing content" from other platforms, and recycle it again through steem.
There are bots and projects like steemcleaners and other antispam projects that will end up finding these and putting you on a list for downvotes if you keep doing it.
Some people think they can come to steem Copy/Paste, re-post. Copy/Paste re-post, and do it over and over. All that does is copy the internet and repost it here, making steem worthless if it has duplicate content already found elsewhere on the internet.
You will not go far long term if you use this as a dumping ground for duplicate content.
It's MY content, originally made years ago, shared with a different audience. I see nothing wrong in not letting my NOT-PAID WORK to get a few cents by not letting it get forgotten on a different platform.
The question is not "who owns the content" in this particular case.
It's what Google sees. If everyone had the same plan that you did, and just copy/pasted old articles that Google already indexed on a website somewhere and shoved it on steem....
Google would start seeing steem nothing more old recycled content and not send visitors here.
I also think it's a disservice to your audience. It's like "here, eat some of this stale content I wrote years ago. I don't want to spend the time to write new, fresh things."
I think its terrible and some spam bots that look for duplicate content "on other platforms" may eventually find you. You'll be sorry when your reputation starts suffering. It's happened before.
Good luck.
