RE: The three cardinal sins on Steemit.
I can see you didn't plagiarize the content... and all the pics probably make it error prone to post.
Sometimes I will go find something I posted years ago elsewhere, and then post it here. I consider that fair; Steemit did not exist when I first posted it to the internet at large (USENET) 20 years ago. If it had, I would have just posted it to Steemit (if I was aware of it).
Consider yourself followed.
I often see people think that content they owned and posted "years ago" is perfectly okay to recycle it through steemit.
There is THREE big problems with it:
A lot of people have posted things years ago. If we all start recycling old content from the internet together, we end up making steemit nothing more than a recycle bin with lots of old content
Google doesn't like to see duplicate content and will penalize a site for it over time. There was a company that use to "recycle and repackage" old internet content, called about.com and google actually blacklisted them at one point if I remember correctly (it was in the news)
Also curators and bots go looking for duplicate content, and could downvote you.
It's not about plagiarism. It's about "new, unique, fresh content" only available on steemit.
In my earlier days I wrote over 600 blog posts under my real name. Should I just dump them all here just to get paid? Nah, I decided to write new unique content that takes my viewers comments into consideration of what they're looking for... it works a lot better to talk to them, then AT them from historical content I wrote long ago in a different year, for a different reason.
Thanks - believe it or not I've done posts with a truck load more images than this one, with no problems - but this post did stuff I've never seen in 10 months of posting on Steemit.
Now I'm thinking of doing a post about how to back up posts as you go to prevent having to do them twice like I just did with this one.
I agree about it being all cool to repost your own content. But now after reading that comment by @intelliguy I'm thinking it needs to be done with great discretion, although we can't keep coming up with stuff we have never posted before, because anyone who has been posing stuff for 20 years has said everyting in their head at some point.
So I will modify that to it's cool to post new edits of stuff you have said before.
After a week I often copy my Steemit posts to my blog, and then google do all sorts of stuff - for example they hide conspiracy stuff and promote anything against Donald Trump, because they are working for jacob rotchild I guess
