RE: Is this encouraged? Speak of gaming the blockchain

in #steemit8 years ago

A few possibilities:

  1. the person is a photographer worried about others using their work and violating his/her copyright in the future, so takes down the image before it becomes permanent.
  2. the person is using someone else's photographs and doesn't want it shown in the future that he/she was earning money off someone else's copyrighted material, which would open them up for legal action
  3. the person cycles through the same photos again and again, deleting then reposting to make a small body of work "earn" longer

I personally hadn't considered that loophole, nor will/would I use it, though I do wish I could earn on content for longer than 30 days, maybe that's the motivation?

Sort:  

You can find a conversation with that dude in my blog, either the deleted resteemed post or in my replies. It's his new business model, he said it. Today i got the reward for criticising his action, and had a look again, just to see he's making maybe 10 posts a day or so and at the 7 days mark all empty (most)
I think the motivation is either afraid of dmca, or too stupid to watermark his work if he's so concerned.
Thanks for your replies guys, at least i now know i'm not the only one not approving of it
