Easy solution is to not make it a direct copy paste. Add some new material or give context to what it is and when you posted it. Add a different picture etc.

This will stop your post from triggering the HW bot. I had to tell the members of my art community this because I encourage them reposting older content. I think I have a different view on the relationship between the reward pool and content maybe. I don’t see this as double dipping.

The reward pool isn’t a singular entity. Each user has a level of influence over the reward pool that they control. If I posted something months ago and users a,b, and c, appreciated it and upvoted it, great.

Then I repost it and this time new user x, y, and z upvote it, it’s not double dipping, it’s new users appreciating that content. Also if a, b, and c see it again and still like it or they still find it valuable, they can upvote or not upvote it.

But auto votes!

I see autovotes as our version of Patreon, where users are no longer supporting individual pieces of content and have transitioned into supporting the USER. In these cases I feel like people have proven themselves to be valuable enough that they’ve earned that trust and I think it’s something good, not bad.

Just my two cents.
