That's a good question. I think it will not be allowed to just share content from others. On Steemit this is also a behaviour that is little tolerated. But I am not sure.

hmmm, that is going to be a problem for Steemit in the future if we want it to be a real social media hub. And in my opinion being a real social media hub is the only way to scale this. People share content they find interesting on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. Most original content is just a sentence about why they liked what they shared. Steemit seems more like medium but the apps like zappl and steepshot seem to be what the people want and the real way forward. When I do outreach, it is a whole lot easier to show someone steepshot and say you can "instagram" like you already do and earn money than it is to tell someone they have to learn how to be an interesting blogger in order to earn. I really think that steemit members need to let go of the idea of long form content if they want to keep earning or protect their investment. I get worried about steemit competitors creeping on us. It's more important to reach critical mass and name recognition than it is to police content in my opinion.
I agree! Steem is a social media hub and should be treated as such. As you pointed out there are many examples like Zappl and Steepshot that could be used like that and surely will. The unwritten etiquette we have today will transform and adopt as more diversification comes to the blockchain.
In regards to OnStellar that is not meant as a quick sharing platform but as creating really valuable content for eternity. I think over there we will have a very different approach to that but I am not sure how they will handle this. But they will also be prone to more platforms coming in and handle the ONST token in a different way.
