What happens if Steemit gets a big red flag from Google and we have all those back links directing to HIVE?

Google or SEO has nothing to do with Steemit for being centralized and corrupted. Truth is there's no chance that High DA sites like Steemit gonna be "red flagged" by Google.

We can't deny the fact that we can still use Steemit for our own good. And on Steemit, those are our contents, like our properties!

Moreover, having same articles on two platforms isn't a good idea. So my suggestion is - as you don't trust them, just edit your posts and redirect them to Hive.

Hope you got my point. But those are your contents, so the choice is up to you.
