Did you seriously just copy the article from https://www.sciencealert.com/spider-on-drugs ? I thought steemit is for original content
Even the author was copied:
But without reference, just copy paste
Are you serious guys? I read this article, I found it interesting and I shared it on steemit, with the name of the author yes, so everybody can know who wrote it.
Pretty sure that 99,99% of steemit post are like this.
We are all working hard to keep steemit clear of plagiarism. If you notice other posts, please act accordingly. I suggest you link to the original article and mark it as cited to make clear it is not your work. I would also provide some value yourself, maybe add your own thoughts. As an example look at a post I made where I referenced 3 youtube videos and added my own value in the text: https://steemit.com/steem/@reggaemuffin/automation-is-replacing-jobs-what-do-you-think
This is not Facebook. You potentially earn money by using the work of someone else, without adding anything of value from yourself. Everyone who just rips off posts from other sites is doing the wrong thing.
You are of course right guys, I agree with you, but I thought that showing the name of who wrote the article was enough.
I'll keep in mind your suggestions for the future anyway.
Cheers!
