I will likely never become sick of you explaining why being paid to be entertained is an absolute winner.
'Cautiously optimistic' is probably the correct stance to have at present, there is a lot of change knocking around and uncertainty is never good for business.
Cross-posting is something I'm unsure of, and I've already seen larger accounts cross-posting to their own community of 7 - they even pick up the 5% if posting to a community they've founded. Surely the best use of the feature is to advertise a newer account who's entertained you and you think your audience will appreciate. I'll likely go very sparing on this feature though.
Have a nice day too :)
The way I'm using crossposting is to post old posts of mine to a few new communities I would like to start.
Yeah that makes sense. If you wrote a lot of good and relevant stuff in your early days where visibility was low, that could work as a use case.
I'm also thinking though, why not revamp the post entirely, and think that's the way I'd do things.
I do think revamping the post entirely is better. But at least it is a semi-legitimate way to post recycle for those who don't care. It's pretty easy to notice and skip over. If you autovote someone and find them doing it a lot, just stop autovoting that account.
The fact that a revamped post looks far better makes me side more towards doing that and using the cross-post feature to advertise good stuff produced by someone else.
That's basically what #showcase-sunday is. Breathing new life into old work, somehow. We all had that slow start.
Ah yes, I should have tied these together myself. Another coffee could be due :)

Some folks truly get it and way over on the other side of the spectrum I've been straight up told I don't say/write things in a way that deserves any attention at all. Superficial nonsense. But I'm not bitter about it and won't give up trying.
I'm sure we'll figure out this cross posting stuff eventually. I've seen a few cases where it was literally pointless like you're pointing out. It's a weird one for sure. I don't really know what the best use case is yet. I'm sure there are a few good ones.
These sound like the people you do not want at a party! I wish I could bring humour and interest with all my work.
I think If i a) didn't have a post planned (so's not to double dip autos) and b) saw an awesome post buy a newcomer (unaware of communities) very suitable to a community I enjoyed, that would be my reasoning for clicking the button.
Sometimes I wonder why anyone would want to own stake in and entertainment based attention economy like thing when they have no use for entertainment, or can't understand that approach of mine. I don't hold it against them though.
I think we should have the option to select which communities our post will show up in, before we hit the 'post' button. Then all the cross posting stuff could be used for examples like you've given, plus probably a few more good ones.
If consumers want to do all the cross posting, then I don't need to decide where to place my work. They can do it and be rewarded for it. For instance, as a content producer, I don't know about that community for horror stories. If it exists but I don't know, how would I know to place it there if I write a horror? There will be thousands of these communities. You can't expect me to select hundreds of places and cross post into each one. That would be absurd and counter productive.
One persons entertainment is another persons shit-posting circle jerk i guess :)
At least you can start with housing your post into 1 community, and I think it will become more important to select wisely. Then you can resteem out to your own blog (which is rather strange but works) so that folks who know to pay you a visit will see your latest offerings.
Agree that in the ideal world, a consumer aware of a community that suits your content would be account cross-posting. Let's see how this all progresses.
I remember reading you weren't the biggest fan of these, but I'm going to issue you !ENGAGE 50 anyway!
HA! It's just frustrating when the spam makes the comment section impossible to read. I felt really bad one day after downvoting this endless stream of beer... but I had to.
Damn, downvoting beer - I just don't think I could do it. You could always mute the accounts and collect up the tokens anyway, but yeah, for the consumer trying to find the interesting post additions, it can make things tougher.
