Is it possible to transfer SP to other users? Or does it need to be powered down first then sent? You may have mixed up SP/SBD a few times in your post.
Regardless, I agree with you. Endlessly reposting other people's work and keeping 50-100% of the rewards while also increasing reputation score feels exploitive. On the other hand, people with voices that need to be heard without any followers need exposure somehow.
after the payout period, and pays out all SBD. The authors are given a chance to promote the post for at least 24 hours, but posting an aggregation of links to unloved material later is a different story than reposting stuff for authors with a small footnote mentioning them.As I've stated in a few of these threads the past week, I think the happy medium is what The Lost Content Digest by @biophil does (I have no monetary gain by promoting it). He does keep the SP generated, but he posts links to content that received little to no traction
You can power down SP into liquid STEEM and use it to power up others accounts actually!
If folks need exposure they need to get out and advertise their work or risk have someone else take a large chunk of their well earned pie. It's a pretty steep curve to get a following base and find your niche on Steemit but if I can do it so can anyone. I'm not anything special, merely a man trying to hopefully help the platform that has helped him take back control of his life.
