I don’t care about whether you agree or not. It will kill their SEO, that’s a fact. Unless they will implement canonical, which wouldn’t make much strategical sense since the plugin goes from Steem to WLS, they will toast.
Your argument forgets that all “thriving social media sites” already built large activity before crossposting happened.
It doesn’t matter, you give another spin to the topic. I focused on SEO and duplicate content is undeniable. Period.
As we have stated already, duplicate content has been on Whaleshares before steem2wls - we just make cross-posting more convenient than using masdacs or doing it manually. Any negative SEO consequences could be eliminated by implementing canonical links, that is upon Whaleshares to implement first, not us. Nobody says that canonical posts bring any positive SEO, but contrary to duplicate posts without canonical refs they have no negative effects which makes your argument of "killing the SEO" invalid.
Until implemented my argument is valid, thanks for agreeing. 🤘
Well, you can hardly blame us for Whaleshares not having canonical links implemented yet ;)
I didn’t blame you, you only went totally defensive over something you agreed with from your first reply (second actually). ¯_(ツ)_/¯
