I would personally disagree with that idea. While I am not posting some old stuff from my blog and I certainly do not intend to, I believe that usefulness of the information is more important that the fact whether you can find it in any other place or not. We do not have time to look for a piece of information all over the Internet, it is convenient to have it all in one place, here on Steemit.
