RESTEEM WITH A COMMENT SUGGESTIONsteemCreated with Sketch.

In 2015 twitter launched its “Retweet With Comment” Feature as you can see demonstrated below.. Screen Shot 2017-06-19 at 2.32.27 AM.pngScreen Shot 2017-06-19 at 2.33.02 AM.pngScreen Shot 2017-06-19 at 2.33.36 AM.png

Currently the ability to resteem with a comment is not available..

I think it would be a really useful feature to implement for resteemed articles..

Leave a comment below, would love to know how everyones feels about this

Sort:  

Definitely love the idea, it brings up some interesting implementation questions... but I think if done right it could be phenomenal in more ways than one!

Resteeming with your own commentary as part of the post displayed in your blog feed seems to me like it would need to create a whole new post, with the resteemed content essentially embedded. If this is the case, then you could be paid for your resteem, or more aptly, for your resteem comment - just like you can be paid for any comment.

But what about the original content? Steemit of course has the one week limitation on voting generating content payout. What if "resteem with comment" could be a sort of workaround to keep content alive?

Imagine the "resteem with comment" feature automatically created a post with a predefined rewards split that gives 60% (possibly more, less, or user adjustable with a set minimum) of the "resteem with comment" post rewards to the author of the resteemed content.

I could be wrong, but it seems like this could be easily implementable, and allow authors to earn on their content for years to come as it is discovered and shared by the community.

wow you killed it, all really great points... thank you for your insight

I really like this idea. Sure, it would need to be worked out exactly how it could work properly, but the idea is really good. I think it's one of steemit's flaws right now. Most of the content on steemit doesn't lose value to new viewers after 7 days. Being able to re-steem a good drawing or video could keep it monetized for years. Or maybe it doesn't get resteemed for a few months but then somebody stumbles on it and decides to resteem and it goes viral. Would be an amazing feature.

great idea. upvoted & resteemed (without a comment)

thanks bro :/ hopefully we will see a future without these burdens

it was raised before .. but then resteeming comment would do what?
would it not just add clatter?
resteeming post would and could already bury your own post - resteeming comments - how? on the main blog page?

I'd love this feature.

i love you condra

Yes it's perfect

Excellent idea! The first time I resteemed something I was actually looking for a box to write in like I missed something lol

hahaha right.. i thought the same :/ ha

Yeah, this is a very good idea! Just allow us to write a few lines that can be read along with the resteem, and I'm fine :)

yes! i agreee 100%

That would be a welcomed feature for sure!

thank you! :)

Very good idea!

It's a great idea. I hope you can do this as soon as you can on steemit.com.

THAT would be a good idea.
also a separate tab for resteems.
right now they're almost like spam.

I think thats a good idea... puts a little touch on the resteem :)

Good idea.. i think adding something to the content could help personalising the resteem even more.
