RE: **LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT CONTENT THEFT IS** And why it is important to be original and yourself on Steemit
"You All Matter
Greed and chasing pennies is not going to help you grow into a better person. Just as I said in Shallow 4 Shallow -- take the time to learn and grow." Point taken @clevercreator.
So I'm just curious to know how people stand on resteeming other's work and curating content on your own.
I know there's a love/hate relationship with that aspect of the Steemitverse and I'm trying to figure out how I can both curate and build my follower base...or tribe to a point where I feel it's worth the effort to pour hours and hours into creating my own content.
As you may or may not know it's also considered, by many, to be plagiarizing if you bring up your own content after a decent amount of time has elapsed.
I'm sure many feel that they'd like their best work to be seen by the new Steemians that have come along since they last posted a particularly well recieved piece in the past.
Also I am curious about the general consensus about presenting your content in different languages using a translator. I see this happening quite a bit while surfing the feeds. Is that not considered plagiarizing too?
Lastly, what about long replies in another's post? Is it better to not reply if you have difficulty making your point short and sweet? I'm getting a reputation of being too wordy.
Some enjoy and encourage it and others make it known that it's just TLDR...not that there's anything wrong with that...I mean I do get it. One's banter is another's bone to pick.
It's hard to find the sweet spot here for people who've no previous experience with blogging. I am trying my best.
With that being said I'm not going to apologize for this longish reply, but I will say I hope to get some feedback here as I feel I've left these thoughts in an appropriate place...yes/no?
✌️
Don't apologize for the long comment -- it is beautiful that you put all your words out there.
I was just reading a long comment from someone else -- on someone else's post going mmmm, I think I would love a long comment.
Thanks for it. Give me a few days, and I will build you a response in a post and link it here for you. Those are all great and complicated questions.
~smiles~ "Don't apologize for the long comment -- it is beautiful that you put all your words out there." That right there, @clevercreator, is why I continue to be myself here. I could get so lost if I tried to be anything but.
I do look forward to your thoughtful reply to my sincere questions but I also am aware of the difficult situation you are having in the walking world.
BTW it was suggested by @aggroed that I stretch the few SBDs I have that I'm more than willing to send your way by making use of various upvote bots and my MSP #$upvote. This is one of your posts I'm trying to keep an eye on to time the upvote closer to the 6.5 day time limit.
I hope this doesn't change any thoughts as to why I asked the questions in the first place. I haven't forgotten you own project in getting Steemians together to help others.
For me specifically in the manner of proof reading...or as you put it somewhere here...nitpicking ...and yes I do know the difference between solicited and unsolicited advice. }:-)>
Here is a good article that explains how I feel about life in general. Sure I have a couple of problems, but solutions exist all around us... We will always have some sort of "problem"....

I tried to get an upvote for you from minnowsupport but it's down right now and the window on this post is closed...so I'm going to wait for the next opportunity to maximize the value of my upvote for you.
I'm a man of my word who's learned not to make promises. This is one I've made and will keep.
I hope things are easing for you some @clevercreator. <3
No worries. You are free to let it go :)
We are going good. I paid the July rent today and the court case was dismissed.
Next business item is to drive traffic to the site, organize it a bit better, and sell the art to give these amazing Steemit Artists a decent non-standard income.
I'm so happy to see hear that things have taken a turn for the better.
You know I have an original oil painting I got in an auction and I have the rights to reproduce it as well. It's called "Into Genesis" with the ETH logo. I wonder if something like that might be of interest to help raise funds.
Non standard income has always been my first choice too. ;)
oh please do email me :)
just sent an email here I couldn't figure out how else to email you...hope this works. <3
I won't go into why but I rarely go to the Forbes website anymore. I made an exception in your case just to test my flexibility.
To be sure, no one get's through this life without their share of troubles. Some have a way of making things worse for themselves in the way they choose to deal with them.
Others are more pragmatic and deal with each as they crop up. Sorting priorities is a great leveler. The fortunate ones are those who figure that out early in life.
For every basket of problems there are a bushel of solutions...generally speaking.
