Likewise, if you want your criticism to be accepted, you should work on your framing. You definitely could have made the same suggestion in a nicer way, that doesn't accuse the author of merely trying to direct traffic to her website.

But using Steem as a traffic source wouldn't even make sense. Steem is high revenue, low traffic for a creator like @allasyummyfood. For now at least it makes more sense to simply link to where the recipes are already laid out than to copy and paste her whole website over here. That's how the web is designed to work.
