Cross-posting older posts is still a bit of a gray area but there too we will check what the past rewards were and that none of our accounts already rewarded the post.
This is something i havent thought about. Its kind of a great thing that allows old content new life.
Why wouldnt some old video or an old song from a year ago hit trending this time around.
Steem always had an issue with maintaining content relevance beyond 7 days. This could change that.
Why not start copying all old posts and post them all over again. No effort - all the rewards.
Because that would be abuse. We police ourselves.
People have millions of ways to abuse the system and every situation should be weighed independently.
Copy pasting own posts is abuse, and cross-posting own posts is not?
It creates a brand new post with the very same (copied) content to earn rewards.
