I'm not sure this applies to this announcement, but apparently there are new content rules being enforced preventing content creators from submitting their own content?
v/ReportSpammers admits my content is high value, and people seem to like it, but I am now required to submit 50% content I haven't written to be able to submit 50% content I have written?
I've been falsely accused of spamming for posting high value content on Medium.com which is a publishing platform I do not own. The person who reported me, and the moderator both do not seem to understand how Medium works, and are threatening to ban both my account, as well as the domain names of Medium, and a few of the publishers who use Medium who have syndicated my content. Medium and the publishers do not display advertising, and I am not paid to write for Medium, or these publishers. I am not making money by submitting content to Medium, or Voat.
I mostly write with the intention of informing others, educating others, and creating value for others. Occasionally I'll write and submit something for fun as well. Almost everything I've submitted has been well received by the Voat community, and mostly been upvoted.
Why would Voat, a news aggregation website, enforce a content policy that forces high value content creators like myself who write content the Voat community enjoys to submit 50% of their submissions as 3rd party low value content to be able to continue to submit high value content of their own? You're essentially forcing me to submit content I cannot verify the intention of that may contain advertising, and content that is lower value to the community.
Again, I have no intention of monetizing my writing. I'm executive in the tech industry, and make plenty of money and I write to educate others, and keep them informed of both politics, and tech news and concepts. My username is under my actual name, I'm publishing and submitting to Voat with full transparency here, and I am not doing anything wrong.
If policies like this are actively enforced then it will force me to stop using Voat, and will likely prevent other content creators from doing so as well.
this counts as a different site. if you post all your stuff on medium, and simply archive half of it, and post the archive link (which will also have a link back to medium) it seems to me like you would be following the rules.
That's clever. I might start doing this. Thank you.
We live in fucked up times when the last "free speech" news and content aggregator makes a rule that actively forces you to post ad riddled content and clickbait to be able to submit you're own high value content. Since when did sharing new ideas become so difficult?
