RE: HolySmoke! .. Steemit is about CREATING !!! siting the source is NOT enough if you didn't CREATE SOMETHING!!!
What then.... EXACTLY have they Created ?
Absolutely Nothing is the correct answer friend..
They created the post, and curated the content to the followers who may not normally see that information. By your definition re-steems should be banned, what have I created by resteeming another's article, that I will gain curation rewards on? Anything that is public domain or fair use is just as valid to share on Steem as if it were original, especially if it drives the traffic to the original authors site and is in accordance of license granted to them by the original grantor.
See the white paper on what constitutes work: https://steem.io/SteemWhitePaper.pdf
I'll high-lite a specific paragraph I find relevant
Eliminating “abuse” is not possible and shouldn’t be the goal. Even those who are attempting
to “abuse” the system are still doing work. Any compensation they get for their successful
attempts at abuse or collusion is at least as valuable for the purpose of distributing the
currency as the make-work system employed by traditional Bitcoin mining or the collusive
mining done via mining pools. All that is necessary is to ensure that abuse isn’t so rampant
that it undermines the incentive to do real work in support of the community and its
currency.
The goal of building a community currency is to get more “crabs in the bucket”. Going to
extreme measures to eliminate all abuse is like attempting to put a lid on the bucket to
prevent a few crabs from escaping and comes at the expense of making it harder to add new
crabs to the bucket. It is sufficient to make the walls slippery and give the other crabs
sufficient power to prevent others from escaping.
Eliminating “abuse” is not possible and shouldn’t be the goal.
Discouraging is not eliminating.... You see, you can still function somewhat with an incredibly low reputation score ...
Also licensed Youtube Videos are licensed so that others do not reap monetary rewards for their hard work... Now if said youtuber later comes on to steemit and posts his very own hard made videos... the ones he spent hours on... editing etc. etc. etc.
if he now decides to post them on Steemit; there is already a version there, NO NOT from the creator.... from the lazy son of a cheese Grater who posted it, and now has a reputation and a bunch of steem... Who's version of the video will people most likely find.... the lazy son of a cheese grater... that's Who !!
That depends, in the case of the youtube video the creator, I believe, would make more as he could verify that it is his, however this is a hypothetical situation.
The reality is that the cheese grater is a curator for the OP, and his curation of that video would be paid out after 7 days. If the OP later comes to Steemit, it will be after the 7 day period, and to post his video then he will likely make more money. Additionally he would make twice as much from repeat youtube views.
The point that I was trying to make was that we want more frogs, let people post what they will post as long as they have the rights to post and link that content legally. If this system becomes more like a Reddit or Facebook because that is what new users are comfortable with and want it to be run that way, let the free market decide.
No one forces content to be voted on, as long as it is legal the free market will decide how much the work to create the post will be worth. It may not be worth much to you but to the followers that were exposed to it and upvoted it, it was worth something to them.
your making false economics,
if multiples of the same content exists on platform decrease the value of the space used and the space next to,
also due to googles search algorithms copy and pasted reposted links dont search rank well at all further lessing value of reposts
the difference between here and Facebook and reddit is its supposed to be all original content and free from spam by users participation but no incentive to flag and risks from mass spam flaggers with no support in place
an analogy of how this site works doesnt translate to mainstream,
to be fair use content used should only make up a small percentage of post hence "fair" use
the quote you refer too is in regards to currency its mining and distribution
HolySmoke! ... Patrice .. No Apology Necessary friend !! You have a mUCH better Grasp of the situation than the average bear ...
