Sorry, but I beg to differ.
Does publishing on Leofinance.io not make the article appear on other Hive interfaces? They will all appear at the same time, therefore I do not think there's a difference in terms of how Google will crawl and "decide" which is the true source.
One thing that may positively impact Google searches is that the images I upload will be hosted on Leofinance.io. So if people are doing Google image searches, Leofinance may appear there. More inward links translate to better Google ranking.
While I want to support Leofinance.io, the Peakd.com interface is way better in terms of features and functionalities. Two ways I have been doing to support Leofinance is to set @leo.voter as a beneficiary and also tip them some $BAT as and when I have excess.
