You brought up a couple interesting points. The first being in some ways I may look my content being reposted as a good thing as like you said I shared an affiliate link for RunCPA so the more people who watch the video the more chances I get at getting that link clicked and profiting that way.
I can kind of see it that way but I think I dropped my link in the writing below the video. While the link is in the description of the Youtube video, someone would have to from the Steemit post that guy reposted click the Youtube video at the top, be redirected and read the desciption but I have a chance most people would just view the embedded video and move on so I doubt I'd have too much upside in terms of exposure but you never know.
As far as people gaming the system like you said it happens on every platform, on Youtube I have one particularly popular video that went semi viral and I get 3-5 people per week reuploading it from various accounts. Ever since Youtube implemented the 10k views to monetize its helped a bit but no instead of people trying to make money off ads they repost my video and link to a jvzoo product or some ecommerce course they have or some other cpa offer.
Yeah I think it was a good idea for YouTube to implement the 10K rule to be honest. It helps keep these crack babies from just popping up accounts left and right just to get monetized off someone else's content.
Good news. @teamsteem upvoted your post and flagged that guy's post of your stuff.
The bad news is that guy has literally sharted out like 20 more posts doing the same thing since then. One including another one of your videos.
I talked to one of the members of @steemcleaners and they have a little bit of a track history on that user for plagiarism but they are always toeing the line of what is acceptable according to there criteria so they don't flag a lot of the posts.
haha of course he did lol, thanks for bringing it to my attention. i flagged that one. the least the guy could do is at least @rulesforrebels me instead of leaving off the @
