RE: In light of our NEW NFT ART PROJECT on Hive I have concerns with Hive Watchers policing of the art community // Long post with philosophical thoughts about art

Another area I have of concern with @hivewatchers is their policing of recycled content. Fundamentally I understand where they’re coming from, but on any other social media platform I see professional artists regularly circling back and posting old works from their catalog that they might have already shared a couple years ago. I have zero problem with it there, and thus don’t considerate it wrong on Hive either. I think Hive works best when people use it like any other site or social media and let the rewards take care of themselves. I think it’s very clear when repeated spamming of the same content is egregious, versus normal social media marketing strategies of frequent posting, and re exposing popular work, and previous content that may be newly relevant or timely.
After talking with them, since this is something I promote in OCA, the compromise was to not make the post a direct copy paste of the previous post. It can contain the same images, just make a new post. I think they use automation to find these things, so it just makes everyone's lives easier.
I personally think reposting is okay if the rewards are declined. I would love to see works that have been posted before but haven't gotten any attention, or to show to new followers. But reposting can be considered as an abuse once the content gets rewards again and again - which encourages others to do so - thus, lowering the overall quality of the platform.
