I don't believe Steemit could ever sell or monetize our posts in another way, unless via an agreement where individuals would give them the rights to do so. This applies just to physical publications and merchandise.
In regards to our actual online content, we all need to accept and understand that it's fair game. The Steem blockchain is open source. People can make a site about a given topic, pull all the related tags from Steem as their content, monetize it with ads and not pay us a penny. But it does expose us further and wider and provide opportunity for more users, followers, voters, and fans.
Everyone serious needs to do what you do, run your blog like a business and develop multiple revenue streams.
Of course! They would have us agree on stuff. I figured that could be a worst case scenario option.
I love that you bring up multiple revenue streams! So true! I don't know why some people are so crazy that they only have the one.
