RE: Steemit for the Future: The Fine Line Between Responsible Curation and Freedom of Speech
Agreed, but I am not sure that posting a link to an article you have written in a comment of an article you have read that is of similar content that may interest the viewers that have read and commented on that post should be consisted unethical or improper....or maybe I have misunderstood you? Other wise a fair and good point.
Thank you
I agree that a post that adds to the discussion should be linked to in the comment, and I don't think that is what @denmarkguy is talking about here. I think it has more to do with replies like:
"Cool story brah! Come and upvote my totally unrelated and idiotic post!"
@nenad-ristic, precisely!
@cheekybuggy, thanks for the comment! You're right on that point... where it's more a case of "situational ethics." Sometimes such a comment is a genuine attempt to help and is relevant... in other cases it can become very quickly evident that it's basically a form of "comment spam," in which case it seems like (at least) it shouldn't be rewarded, and even possibly flagged/downvoted if the person commenting is just posting the same response to every post with a particular tag.
True, and thank again
