RE: Why I am Pro Hives But NOT Powering Down My Steem!
You wouldn't post on Quora AND on Medium
Of course I would. I cross post almost everything I write.

Well that’s interesting.
It’s a form of plagiarism, even if you did write and own the content. A blurb at the beginning saying it has been previously published would make a huge difference.
You’re “supposed” to let your readers know that it has been previously published before and where and when.
However I see how there “writing rules” are more suggestions than anything else and how in crypto blogging with no real governance law wise makes almost anything go.
Original content...
I see lots of forms of plagiarism here and used to worry about them a lot more. Now I just see them as what they are, part of the package.
Cross posting is just lazy though, there’s a difference between creating a post and marketing it, and going from publication to publication trying to get attention for your post. Each platform has its own user base and tailoring your content to them would be more respectful of the readers time.
If you would cross post to medium and Quora and steem, than I guess hives is game too - and who’s to stop you. No one.
To each it’s own, that was just perspective from an American English Teacher who realizes rules and etiquete are fluid.
I can't expect everyone to have accounts on every platform.
That's precisely why I cross post. If I make a posting about say Ruby programming I cross post it into Ruby communities in various platforms to maximise the amount of Ruby users becoming aware of the article.
