I Don't Like Cross Posting

With the implementation of the Communities in Steemit, many other unexpected things came. Right, unexpected.

I was a developer of programming codes, this was many years ago and now I don't do it anymore. But I learned that in order to terminate a system or module, we must devote many hours to the test stage.

It is at this stage where we will know the implicit or overlapping derivations that would be in the programming.

We cannot launch a system if we have not considered all possible failures. Many times they are not just "failures" but code derivations.

Well, I'm getting off topic.

In my opinion, the launch of the communities was rushed. There are many derivations (not failures) that were not considered.

The main limitation of this system is the impossibility of publishing the content in different Hives.

So far we have the possibility of labeling our content and in this way, our work is shared in the different Tribes. With the Hives this does not happen.

Once we publish our content in a specific community, it cannot be viewed on any other Hive, which considerably limits the exposure levels of our posts.

There are communities that maintain similar interests, and it would be beneficial for writers to be able to place their work in different places so that it could be appreciated by more specialized audiences and thus receive valuable comments.

As an alternative to this limitation, users developed their own system to place the same publication in different Hives.

Cross Posting

What is a cross post?

This process consists of creating a new publication which, its main content consists of a link to a previous post that has been published in another hive. Do you think it's something known? Right, it is practically plagiarism. It is duplication of content. But with certain changes.

This is nothing new really. Previously we found publications of this type, but they received many downvotes and entered the blacklist of @steemcleaners.

Steempeak tool for Cross Posting.

The fabulous steempeak interface has incorporated the tool for the creation of Cross Post. With this modality, what was previously seen as a lack of ethics and due writers' behavior, now becomes a "legalized" alternative available to all Steemians.

Rewards

When we use this tool we can see that 90% of the rewards collected by the new post, would be destined to the author of the original publication, which apparently looks like "very fair". But:

  • 90% Original Author.
  • 5% Author Crossed.
  • 5% Hive.

This rewards distribution system allows any steemian to earn 5% of the rewards earned just for having relayed a third-party job. This can generate high levels of abuse in several ways, since you can even do cross posting with your own publications.

Summary

We are living perhaps the best stage of Steemit since its launch, at least in terms of social interaction. Communities is a concept that is established in the Steem Whitepaper.

With each update Steemit's social structure evolves and with this it consolidates itself as the best Blockchain Social Network platform in the world.

But the "trial and error" only brings many doubts about trust towards the ecosystem. Then more testing hours should be implemented before launching future updates. We do not want to cause an improvisation image.

Finally, I would like there to be a tool that allows "Resteem between Hives". This would be solved this small gap that was left with the implementation of communities in steemit.
