I'm curious if you might have more thoughts on the etiquette of posting non original content, or perhaps a link to a post that discusses it more in depth. I'm currently building out my own webcomic site to launch shortly and I'm mainly interested in using Steemit to announce and mirror content that will be found there. To my mind, Steemit is an alternative source for a fanbase to follow someone if they choose to, over Facebook, Twitter, or other means. It also acts as a hybrid of these types of networks and funding initiatives such as Patreon or Kickstarter. However it doesn't replace a dedicated website for hosting, displaying, and organizing content.
I'm incorporating links to Steemit in my site, and could see occasionally producing content that would be exclusive to Steemit to help drive traffic and new followers to the platform.
Is there a growing consensus on what is considered a "cheap use" or abuse of Steemit when promoting yourself on the web?
