According to the cleaner mafia even showing details of a painting posted years ago is a crime - details never shown before. It's also a crime showing paintings which I posted back on Steemit. Many of these images are no more showing up when you open these old posts and new followers didn't see my old posts. And many of my early post didn't earn any or very little reward back when I started on Steemit. So yes, I recycle my paintings because I have only a limited amount of them. They should go after imposers, scammers and spammers, not after artists who show a piece of art again after one or more years. This platform is all about monetization of content. That's all I can do here - the audience here is way too limited to use it otherwise. I was hoping Hive would make it to a big platform with a growing audience, but that is not the case. I can't expect to get here 700k of followers like on FB.
Hive should be free of such censorship, it's actually worse than censorship, it's a capriciousness of a few assholes having too much stake to theirs disposal to bully people, and no one dares to stand up against them. I've seen it many times over the years when they messed with artists and enthusiasts because they dared to use references to theirs drawings. Or because they posted theirs artworks in other social media as well, or the description was not elaborate enough.
Art is all about recycling by the way. I reuse and modify my concepts over and over again. I use my paintings to create animations from them, I use one 3D-model as a references for a series of painting by changing perspective, light or by modifying the existing geometry. When I have an idea I need to explore it in many different ways. To me a painting is never a closed project.
It's ok to downvote a post because you don't like it, or because you remember seeing it years ago already. But systemically destroying an account for such ridiculous reasons is just criminal. I would have to make a research each time I post some of my paintings to be sure I didn't make a "too similar" post some time in the past. Using the search function isn't really helpful if the corresponding post was made years ago.
This sort of clan-driven censorship on a network that is supposed to be free and decentralized turns it all into shit. A free network will take care of bad content - people just won't upvote them. But my content gets upvoted and thus is appreciated by the audience. This mafia only brings back all the shit we know from Facebook & co. They only achieve that professional artists leave, or they just post theirs "daily doodles" or similar crap to avoid problems.
I was promoting Steemit and later Hive in the art community. Many artists joined but most of them left after a while because they saw no point in it. The network is too small to find larger audience on one hand, and the revenue is for most of them too small considering the effort. But if some artist eventually earn some rewards then the cleaner mob has an eye on them. So if they continue to destroy my account I will widely make public what's going on here, how professional artists are treated here by a mob of self-appointed regulators.
