RE: How to ruin a platform's reputation - Plagiarism
I saw allot of new users who take pictures not say the source and boom they make money from that, for users who have some money in the account the things change. Mostly they use their own content or they read something and make an article about that but with they own words, and what they think about what they read and if they are not good at taking photos they search for free photos and they put the source. It is not hard at all but copy paste from somewhere i think it is a bad thing. I saw this phenomenon just on new people and i think they don't know or they try their luck. If they will have money in account maybe they will change. I think on steemit it must be a very big and red warning Do not post copy paste content because you will get flaged and from there your account is useless and they dont understand your account is more valuable if you have reputation then the money. Maiibe i am wrong but they are to many and what will be after 1 year or 2 if the price of steemit will go up.
I'm worried about this trend to be honest and hope we can somehow get the point across. You're right, I think some don't know better, which is why I feel that we need to explain our flagging in a comment on their post. Some people genuinely didn't know and change their ways. Other will ignore you or try to argue, which are the ones I report to Steemcleaners.
