Thanks Klye for the advice which is helpful when you have just joined Steemit. My view is slightly different on it . I have been in the blogging scene for over 9 years. I see this type of posts more like a guest blogging approach. Alternatively these post promoters could also be seen as publishers. While in guest blogging you never earned a dime at least with this setup an authors gets Steem Dollars. And these Steem Dollars the author can turn into Steem Power if he/she wants to increase the influence. I have seen post featured which made a decent amount of money. Yet these post I would say with the effort and quality put into it the featured author would have never made this amount of money or even no money at all. Besides having a slightly different view as you in your post I think you post gives this new authors a holistic view so they can judge what they can expect from using this channel.

Yeah when writing this the first go I completely blanked and did not even consider the whole business of promotion itself. It's one thing to throw other users links in the bottom of your own original post that is trending . But when you do start making posts just strictly featuring compilation / links of work you like or just outright posting others authors writing with their hopes of more exposure I think a blurred line between helping people and it being a business needs to be drawn.
It didn't even occur me the business aspect of it. The revision afterwards near the end in the article above was after reading the communities thoughts and comments below and talking to multiple people in the SteemSpeak TS (TeamSpeak) server: ts.stakepool.com and the community on https://www.Steemit.chat
