Good point.
Cross-posting brings out a new set of moral questions and decisions.
If one were to x-post their own post, they'd get 95% of the rewards yet it'd kind of be like sucking their own genitalia.
I get that it's great for spreading the word and getting more eyes on you, but how is it viewed from the eyes of a community? Sure, lone more egoistic wolves might not care about the pack, rather their own earnings, but with more pack member -like thinking, it's better if someone else were to x-post your posts like you expressed in your comment.
Here, this is both for the main post itself and your engagement under it:

I'm not a fan of the double dipping I've seen around the platform lately and I will not be taking part in that behavior. I saw a guy write a post about a community, then minutes later cross post that post into the community he was writing about. Either commit yourself to it, or leave it alone. A clear case of someone enjoying a few pennies worth of auto votes.
I'm guilty myself for cross-posting my own post lately (just one), but after giving myself a time-out and rethinking the whole thing, I'll retain from doing so again.
That's how we learn. I can see the innocence behind some of the decisions people made and don't hold it against them, since we're all trying to figure this stuff out on the fly.
