very interesting food for thought.. I'm not sure how I feel about advertising on the platform as a free for all but I agree some big fish on here are using their own affiliate links to generate passive income.. they have increased visibility and are using the same links in different posts so it is kind of happening. this is only version 1.uh oh so let's see where steemit is in 6 12 24months time.. damn my facebook account is 10 years old and I only really stopped going there daily when I joined steemit 10 weeks ago.. (And i actually know the people)
I would add though that some of my best work has not even been seen on steemit due to bad post timing ! my fault, but being in the UK means peak traffic US is about 2-3am GMT here

Thanks for your comment. Regarding your best work, I think you should repost it, regardless of whether you edit it or not. I've never gotten any pushback for reposting old work, something I do only occasionally.
