Hi. Since we are trying to promote valuable, unique content on Steemit, please consider adding your own commentary to posts like this, or at least your reason for posting. Thank you.
my own commentary is in the title. if sharing is prohibited by the rules, I'll take it down, otherwise please let people be free - this is why we are here in the first place.
Hi, you're right, sharing is not prohibited. The only reason I mentioned this is because we are having a problem with spam accounts grabbing all kinds of random content, videos, pictures, etc... and posting it as their own, trying to make money. It just helps to have a little commentary, or a message saying the content is not yours, to keep people who are hunting for spam from misinterpreting as spam (like I just did). Sorry about that, and hope you understand.
Again, sorry about coming across as abrasive. Also, a quick tip, there is a 4 post per day limit before the total amount of rewards you receive for those posts starts decreasing. For example if you post 5 posts per day, you might only get something like 80% of the rewards. 6 posts per day even less, etc... This is a fairly new change which was made to prevent a huge increase in spam that we were seeing. This only counts for main posts, not comments. So if you care about getting rewards for your posts, it's better to spread them out so you don't get more than 4 per day. If you don't really care about the rewards, then post away :)
