RE: Why I Am Building Custom Hive Front-Ends, And You Should Too
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I've been using the Exxp.io/SteemPress WordPress plugin to post to both my website and Hive and it's honestly been working pretty great.
Hive has the short-term benefit of votes and comments while my own site has the potential for SEO, affiliate-links, etc.

The problem with posting TO HIVE using plugins is you’re risking plagiarism bots, you’re paying the forced beneficiary, and you can’t use the additional rich formatting that WordPress offers.
That’s why the tools I’m building bring the posts in from Hive based on criteria - I keep up my daily Hive posting and the content then gets repurposed and routed where I want it to go :)
I actually really like that reverse concept.. there's a few things that I post directly to Hive for specific reasons that obviously then don't end up on my website.
I personally haven't noticed any issues with plagiarism bots on Hive. I don't know if they're just not as prevalent on Hive as they were on Steem... or because of the text that Exxp automatically adds to the end "Posted from my blog with Exxp : link".
Exxp sometimes upvote my posts which I guess would offset the beneficiary but to be honest it seems like maybe they forget to do that a lot.
Super interested in what you're building though, definitely keen to see if it would work for me.
Yeah I guess the spam tools are not going to share all the details of how they operate in case it gives spammers a heads up :)
