No worries man, thanks for dropping in
I am happy with the leo tax because it also means I contribute to the ecosystem and if my content isn’t rewarded by curators simply because I don’t use their front end that’s fine I don’t mind at all!
As for the SEO it doesn’t actually help that much I am an SEO by trade so even if the canonicals were pointing to LEO and with the active back link google does not use that to show preference any longer! It looks at user preference for the domain and other ranking factors
But I get what you saying it can also send referral traffic for the ad revenue etc
