No, copying and pasting (spamming copypasta) someone's content without permission from the author for monetisation has always been frowned upon by the community (except abusers and abuse enablers). It has been like this since 2016. The Hive ecosystem is not Facebook.
Considering your response on behalf of this account, I suspect now that you have something to do with it (own it?)
The "previous owner" was never mentioned. The mention was edited after.
The blog had been expressing itself as if it were the owner of all those videos and footage and personally took part in all these past events.
This account will be blacklisted now.
The owner of this account is a ship and it DID personally take part in these events as is clear from the video itself. Ships have legal personality.
SV Sea Explorer is perfectly entitled to use this video taken of it by its previous owner.
This is not abuse.
YOU are engaging in abuse.
You are WAY beyond your remit, are ignorant of the law and your high handed attitude has pushed away many good users.
This is utter rubbish. It is standard practice on Hive to include links to YouTube videos of 3rd party content relevant to your post.
Have a look at the large majority of posts for Three Tune Tuesday as just one example.
