I think you might have missed this part of my post:
Since both value-adding parties involved (the news site and Steemit readers) are aware of the double-spend of your “Proof of Brain,” then they can make an informed decision about how much value they want to give you. No harm, no foul — as long as everyone involved is aware of what’s going on. In practice, this just translates into letting people know when your post can also be found elsewhere.
In other words, it's like you say and it's up to the audience and what platform may like. But my point is that the audience needs to be informed.
Hi @anyx,
Thanks for replying. You indeed covered the issue in the original post. However, I know Steemit is still in beta, but I don't fully agree with the 'No harm, no foul'. For instance, my first cross post got an immediate response from cheetah linking to the original article I wrote.
Now, I'm not complaining. I don't mind writing exclusive content just for Steemit. But in this case you state double spending of your "Proof of Brain" is ok.
In practice, cheetah as the first comment on your post on Steemit does feel like a foul and does feel like harm to your credibility. It hurts a little extra because people just see a cheetah comment on your post and they most likely won't click on the link to see that it is actually a link to a article you have written.
Oh.. and yes, I'm very open towards guidelines for citing your own work.
