RE: Appealing the Blacklist
There is a couple of ways to look at this I think. If you are sharing music by other artists and have their permission to earn rewards for that and it can be verified (link on their YouTube channel) then I don't see a problem. Just make that clear in your posts.
If you don't have their permission it gets a bit murky. It can be argued that you deserve a reward for your time and effort curating. There are tools built into the block chain but not available on the UI such as defining a maximum accepted payout (max_accepted_payout) for a post.
Using the UI, if you are engaging the community with comments you could encourage upvotes on your comments. That may or may not reward you for your time spent promoting the artists.
Couldn't agree more. From one point of view, I provide them exposure (and that is only if and more hopefully when my posts generate viewership), I also do a mini-review of each track, which is an original content of mine. From the other point of view of generating rewards for it, it doesn't seem fair content split wise for me to get all the rewards for it. And from a third point of view, I spend time building community around the @deeptechhouse blog and extra sets of ears on these artists' content are due to effort put into growing the account.
What I do for my DJ series already is reach out to all artists I feature tracks of, so I was thinking I should start doing the same for the tracks I feature as track of the day on Steemit. That way I provide a link back to Steemit community by promoting it and also split any rewards generated on the post itself with an artist whose music I promote. At the heart of it I want to promote the artists and build the community and I am MORE than happy to share the rewards, and perhaps bring new users to the Steemit platform encouraged by a possibility of a reward from me featuring their track (or DJ set).
I really appreciate you replying to my comment and I am glad you confirm my moral uneasiness about it even though my intentions come from a good place.
