I personally think Steemit should open up more and become a real social media app. Right now it's a rather close circle of geeks, crypto afficionados, ancaps and weirdos (I'm a bit of every type, to be honest) and this lot is not specifically big, so to speak. Growth can't occur without opening, IMHO.
I am all for opening, making it more accessible and bring in people from all aspects of life... I just think that content on a platform like steem should be original... I don't see the value in re-publishing... But maybe it's just a different usecase?
What do you think will happen if anyone could re-publish content and get rewards here at the click of a button... (copy-pasta)^2 - that's what i am afraid of.
Republishing is happening already.
yeah... no doubt it is! And it doesn't always have to be a bad thing per se, but I'm just afraid a "re-post to steemit" function will bring a lot more of the crappy kind of re-posts...
