I hope you have a great father's day with your family.
I was a literature major at San Diego State and a High School English Teacher for some years - that is the experience that makes me see cross posting as a form of plagiarism and also the knowledge to help me see that the landscape is changing.
Thank you for the mention. I was very surprised at how many comments my steem publication received, and am happy to see another post chiming in with their opinion.
that figures :)
so
I'm all in with the Wright Bros, but as you might imagine, my now deceased cat was a better typist than I. Also, I'm originally from Jersey... so not all that into proper English ... all the time
Unfortunately, I worked in a Library and am experienced with information science and intelligence gathering.
Nice to meet you. Maybe we can team up. I know you'd often be good for my head. Though I must warn you that I also was a trainer and love to run/trek mountains.

BTW .. what's your take on sharing a link to an image like above [from https://- www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/1200x680_hero/public/2020/06/borg-picard.jpg]
Sharing images is murky here on the blockchain as you are essentially monetizing all of your work.
A GIF shared on Facebook or other centralized social media account puts the burden of monitoring on those who own the platform. Platforms like Pinterest often remove images for this reason.
Also, with memes and the layering of images and words, who owns the work?
I tend to believe that the best way to share images, for those of us who use our writing and blogs as a craft, as opposed to those of us who do it for mere token collection is to always link back to the source where you got your image, and lean towards images which are public domain or gathered from places like unsplash.
For those who are just posting to earn tokens, are they setting us token holders for failure due to their poor backlinking?
Just yesterday I used a google image, which I linked back to the original source, because I was mentioning the movie that the image was from, is that "wrong?" I don't think so. It was linked...
There is a news reporting aspect. I'd say that's where your movie review would fall into. I think it gets murky when a link magically transforms into an image. Seems to me that the only recourse would be to ban link sharing altogether.
