Today a user on /r/cryptocurrency pointed out that the Reddit admins are stopping any Steemit links from being posted to Reddit without being manually approved by the Moderators.
PSA: Steemit Links are Censored on Reddit - Use Busy.org links instead! from r/CryptoCurrency
The quote is:
All steemit.com links on ANY subreddit are being automatically hidden. Moderators must manually approve the link before it will be shown. I have tested it for myself and the explanation in the post is correct.
Right now however you can still use busy.org links. If you're sharing anything on Reddit, simply replace the 'steemit.com' part of the url with 'busy.org' and it will work fine.
Is Reddit trying to artifically drop the popularity of Steemit, or is this just in response to spam posts being spammed on Reddit for votes?
What do you think? How will this affect Steemit?
