Yes, you read that correctly! If you had previously taken content you posted outside of Hive and posted it on Hive, you likely got downvoted by HiveWatcher, Spaminator, etc. The idea was that to bring people to Hive it's better to create unique-to-Hive content. I can't disagree with that argument.
At the same time, however, there is a lot of great content out there that could potentially lead others to Hive if it weren't discouraged from being posted here due to downvotes. That's the other side to the argument.

HiveWatcher recently announced in their Discord that they are "shifting scope" on this and will not pursue action now. Obviously, if it's not your content, is AI generated, promotes illegal activities, etc., then don't think you won't get downvoted for that.
With that said, I still think discretion should be used here. While they won't necessarily downvote you, consider what you are cross-posting. Does it do an exemplary job at showcasing your work, your uniqueness, etc.? If so, post away! If not, then it's ultimately your decision, but I'd rethink posting it just to get rewards. We ultimately want to bring more people to Hive, and the way we do that is with great content!
So get out there and be the awesome, creative you! 😁
