Yes this is what I thought and it’s really interesting to see that despite the Steem price going down these two are gaining popularity....
I removed the “posted via Partiko “ because I know it grinds you.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I don’t care that much about seeing the link itself. It’s more about a decent UX allowing users not to constantly have the link. And the team has always been vocal in reply that they will soon(ish) offer an option to do without that link. That’s good enough for me.
Addendum: I didn’t care too much about the link but the more I think about the “It makes it easy for users to identify the Partiko community” argument the less I like it.
Looks like dual citizenship promotion. While we are on an open blockchain with central accounts. I’m not sure how I feel about that psychology, tbh.
It’s interesting to notice that your post has a “posted from Steemobserver” link at the bottom...

That’s to avoid duplicate content penalty in Google and other search engines.
Normally the link even contains
rel="canonical". Yet, the post wasn’t posted from theSteemObserver. The post was crossposted and posted through Busy as can be seen in the app data for the post.No double standards. Only justified disclosure. Some posts on theSteemObserver were first posted to the Steem blockchain and that is correctly disclosed and set as canonical link in those cases too. If you tweet any of those posts from SO, they will redirect to the Steemit version of the post.
Ah ok. I like seeing all the different ways people are posting actually since I have not tried everything and additionally I rely on trusted people first before I try something new

It’s a hack. Sometimes I post through @SteemPress, other times I do the footwork manually because SteemPress still requires some work to be done after publishing and its tag management is rather primitive (grabs first 5 WordPress tags for the post, WP sorts tags in alphabetical order so those aren’t always the tags you want on Steem).
At least the Steem blockchain now has
canonicalsupport. That will change the SEO game for apps massively. Soon we will see always more non-condenser interfaces rank in search engines.I’ve already seen theSteemObserver outrank Steemit in DDG because of canonical. The landscape is changing and canonical was long overdue.
That “little” tweak will motivate lots of innovation on the Steem blockchain. Finally dApps can rank for content posted through their interface.
Yes I’m glad that canonical change was done.

I understand both sides of this. However since Partiko solves a lot of my problems and can solve many frustrated Steemians problems too, I feel that the link is not obtrusive. If it wasn’t as good as it is, I’d have removed the link a long time ago.

I totally get the link. It’s an absolutely valid growth hack, as I also said on Twitter. And Partiko is a great app, which I would use a lot more often if it weren’t for that link. Yes, I would even pay a monthly fee to do so.
But only if they take crypto. :D
