Usually I share things on steemit then promote it to 34,000 twitter followers. I don't appreciate being accused of "stealing" or "plagiarising" the content to make money when I am giving the original youtube video exposure to so many engaged followers on another platform.
I consider any steem I get to be a tip for the views I provide on the content. Im not "stealing" anything.
It costs money to be seen by thousands of people online so why shouldn't I be allowed to monetise my following in a way that doesn't cost the original content owner any funds?
Steemit has jumped the shark if I can't monetise the only thing I can provide which is views on the content.
