I think an author should be free and even encouraged to repost his own content as many times as necesary, exactly for the same reason a book author is free and encouraged to re-publish is book as many times as needed to: a) Increase the monetization of his work, b) Reach new audiences, c) Improve, correct the work (even with very small corrections).
Sure, but if the author is reposting their work without notifying the reader that this is a repost, then the reader assumes the work is new. This is self-plagiarism, fraud, and a big no-no in academia, where my mindset is coming from. If the author up-front says that the work is not novel, then there isn't a cause for concern.
