Hello @jacobtothe! Than you for welcoming me here.
I love your advice about sharing HIVE on my other accounts. And thank you for delegating me resource credits. I understand that giving back is important in community and I look forward to being able to do the same.
I've received advice about plagiarism several times now. Sounds like that is a thing on HIVE? I will never do it. It's either something I write or I will give credit.
Looking forward to following you and learning more about you. Thank you!
Unfortunately, it's a common sneaky tactic by greedy bloggers wanting a quick crypto boost. We see a lot of people claiming credit for pictures copied from Flickr or blog posts written by versions strangers copied and pasted as if it were original work, especially when crypto is on the rise like it is now.
Re-posting your own blog content here as well is a more contentious topic. If you have verified the other account is you, and you are sharing your own work, you are probably OK, but some may still see that as a bit lazy. Some such posters see the blockchain as insurance against server shenanigans. Some readers see it as lazy double-dipping.
If your aim is to drive traffic to your main blog and website, dropping a link with some kind of special introduction and a choice excerpt might work. HIVE tends to be more about on-chain content, though, and external links are usually used more for supporting references.
As always online, your mileage may vary.
Yikes! Trolls and posers are everywhere I suppose.
This is awesome advice! At some point, I might have people check out some of the things I offer on my website or my courses, but I'm most interested in building relationships here. Although I would like people to watch and share my TEDx talk as the ripple effect from it will change so many lives. But aside from that, I'm glad to know that my desire to connect here aligns with what HIVE is all about.
Thank you again for your advice. I so appreciate it! Looking forward to engaging more with you! 😃
