If a duplicate video gets auto-imported and is spotted by an admin, it gets deleted, along with its hive post if caught in time. That has only happened a few times over the past couple years and they took care of it immediately.
I'm looking at your screenshot there and I do not see those posts on @tdvtv. Is that an old screenshot?
As for double-dipping the rewards pool, they know better than to do that. If the video is "already paid" on a different hive post, then they burn the rewards. That's obvious when you look at their tdvtv posting account.
As for getting paid "for other people's work", what's wrong with that? It costs Jeff a ton of money each month to host those videos for those creators.
If I don't agree with someone's viewpoint, I would not use my HP to zero their income, I would change the channel and consume content that interests me.
You find all this "comical" yeah, but the Hive community obviously does not. You're hurting people, Marky.
