| body | "> I don't believe that reposting content that already exists on the internet adds much value. Google and web browsers already exist.
As you pointed out, the footer seems to claim that the content is exclusive to Steem, which it is not, so I concede that point. Nevertheless, it is perfectly legitimate to post original content far and wide, and the *purpose* of social media platforms is to be a venue for that kind of posting.
> Also sticking it on a blockchain is just spam. Why not just post it as a link (which would at least avoid wasting space on the blockchain)?
Because it's vastly more convenient to readers? Maybe because he wants to post the content on a blockchain so there is a permanent record of it (one of the primary reasons Steem was created)? Because the biggest reasons to post a link back to his site would be to drive traffic to his site to earn ad revenue, gather analytics, etc. and one of the primary reasons Steem exists is to give authors an option to monetize content without relying on ads and tracking users?
It sounds like you're complaining that he's using Steem correctly, rather than double-dipping by sending users back to his site to be tracked and used as ad revenue fodder!
> Because it would then be more obvious that it is not adding much value.
Posting the full content on Steem is a gift to the Steem community, and is considered an anti-pattern in online marketing and SEO because it means he can't track his users (to optimize his site or sell their behavior analytics), show them ads (which pay him), or keep the full text of his posts exclusive to his own website (which earns his domain SEO points; by posting it on Steem, he's giving steemit.com those SEO points).
He's breaking every rule in the book *in favor of Steem.* If he had merely dropped a link to his site, that would've been much closer to the abuse you describe, though it would've been more abusive to Steem's users than to Steem itself.
Finally, according to the rules of the blockchain, he is, as a registered user, entitled to post this data to the blockchain. He is *entitled* to. It is a privilege explicitly granted to him in the smart contract. Even if he were posting random garbage, he is entitled to do that by contract. And this is far from random garbage; I personally found this post quite informative and useful.
