I'm new to Steemit, so forgive my confusion. I know it's not plaigarism since you have permission. Nevertheless I question how a post that isn't original can get such a big piece of the rewards pool, especially since Steem is intended to be based on original content. I know that this is also social media, and sharing articles can educate people (gotta love duct tape!), but I think maybe the rewards pool should work differently for this type of post.
I read this other post on the topic, but that raised even more questions!
Not trying to argue, but this n00b thinks the relationship between sharing and the rewards pool might need to mature.
