I really like the cross-posting feature, especially when you could also do it on other people's posts. Unfortunately the "declined payout" option makes it a no-go for most users who have autovote followers on hive.vote as it would mean you punish those supporting you with getting no curation rewards on the cross-posts, needless to say not something anyone wants. Thus I wish @peakd/ @jarvie/ @asgarth would give people an option to set beneficiaries to something else such as the DHF or @null on cross-posts.
There is of course a work around for wanting to give cross-posts, especially good usage of them more value, such as creating a new account just for that. (Think for instance an initiative where a new account of ocd would cross-post great posts they find in niche communities not in their incubation and feels not only does it deserve some more rewards but also views thus wanting to cross-post it onto the ocd community, this not only gives the post more attention but may also bring consumers to a new community they didn't know existed and would enjoy being subscribed to.)
Or also just encourage them to cross-post into ocd for curators to easier find any posts they may be missing out on from communities too small or just starting out.
Anyway for the last example it may be a bit impractical as I think cross-posting other's posts isn't possible anymore since the first iteration but my point still stands about not just declining rewards on the crosspost to punish autovoters.
