Hey man, thanks for doing your part. Your absolutely right, plagiarism like this is not acceptable and should not be rewarded. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a bot and this guy was plagiarizing these comments manually himself.
The community here is amazing, and if things like that were able to slide without punishment.. well... the community would definitely take a hit and everyone would have to filter out the bullshit(we technically still have to do this but it would be way worse if there wasn't any flagging feature).
When the content and community stays genuine, it gives me such rewarding, fulfilled and happy feelings.
Hey @rok-sivante, I commend you, my friend. And I thank you too. It's a relief to have friends on Steemit who watch out for others. I have never felt protected like I have been here in this space somehow, as public and perhaps deliberately confrontational. (It's about time, yo!)
There is such a thing as decency and even when the weeds are growing, to learn how the ecosystem is working to keep it clean both overwhelms and inspires me.
I also wanted to thank you so much for how you stepped in the other day on my blog post. I had gone back to comment and saw you were protecting my comment section and it's just pretty amazeballs.
Good work! We'll never be able to 100% wipe out abuse, but we can dramatically reduce it by downvoting it when we see it so it's less likely to be profitable.
I think comment cloning is actually a particularly destructive form of abuse since it actively disrupts and impedes discussion. If someone leaves an insightful comment on a post and it's immediately cloned, the post author and other readers have an additional barrier in determining who they should reply to for a constructive discussion.

This is one of the downsides of comment plagiarism. It is very funny since comments are a way of building relationship with the author. Gaming it for short term value won't help anyone in the long run
There is a lot of work that needs to be done when it comes to abuse on this platform and when it comes to the issue of when the abuse will end. I believe that as long as the reward pool is still present there will always be individuals who will try to game the system.
On a platform like Steemit that rewards good programmers it surprises me that some one will choose to use their programming skills for bad.
There are different ways a programmer can earn a decent living on this platform. The person can help improve existing products through Utopian or look for ways to build programs that will help Improve Steemit.
Going through the dark route is not wise.
When it comes to the issue of policing, I believe that it is a commual job and one that requires constant attention. Steemit is a gem in our lives and it is left to us to protect it even though the people we look up to don't.
Wiping out abuses 100% isn't realistic, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I think one additional benefit of continuing a campaign against these types of abuses is that when they become effective enough the types of scammers that might come here for easy money will begin to shy away when it becomes more widely known that there are groups of people (and even bots) that effectively make it not worth their time. It is good to see that there are some here with the power to affect change to actually do so and try to make Steemit a better place for all of us.

Oh I've had the comment sniping thing happen to me. Not only do they take your sentiment and juuuuuust change it enough, but they upvote theirs so it gets seen ahead of yours.
More often than not, this is on a comment thread of someone with fairly hefty upvote value (who can casually dish out $1 here and there), and they obviously have waaaaay too much noise in terms of engagement to see if someone is being ripped off.
It's very subtle this sort of thing too. Much easier to be sly than to rip off an entire post.

Here is the link
A bit exhausted in setting the format, need to learn Markdown style from basic, but I have made a tiny improvement in the technique you suggested. Avoid unnecessary duplication of image attachment and adding more lines to make it neat. Taking several hours to complete, but I satisfy with the result.
thanks @rok-sivante I am glad to have an opportunity to make a tiny contribution to this ecosystem.
If there are a number of others using this plagiarism strategy, it surely could be worth it to fund the development of a bot/account used to identify such activity - and if the account were funded with enough Steem Power, even flag the offending comments.
I am wondering about the possibility and conducting a little research. I find it difficult to make it as a fully automatic system. The current possible solution so far is to make a similarity checker system (like turnitin which is widely used in academic environment) and leave it to those who have enormous power in steemit to take a necessary action.
I have made a post that discuss about 'voting beggar' from querying blockchain database, which I believe more less related to this post.
Wondering if you have sometime to drop any comment to provide some feedback. I'm currently starting to figure out how to 'purify' steemit from negative behavior.
Fully agree with you. Hence my 100% upvote

Sure it won't help anyone in the long term but do you really think that someone who does that thinks about the long term?
yep.

Spanking .gif killed me xD hahahahaha
Nice! I always find things just by looking around and going, hmm, that is weird. Then down the rabbit hole I go!
same ahaha that gif cracked me up
lol. :-)
yeah, some unusual things to be found exploring some tangents here...

yeah, had shared this with someone and got put in contact with the person who runs SteemCleaners and they said it's becoming more common.
hopefully, there may be a solution possible such as addressed herein...
Interesting, its so they move to the top, get noticed and get upvoted by the OP? ohh man that is so freaking tacky. Smh
asking for permission to translate it into Bahasa Indonesia
Permission granted.
Please share link back here when completed, so I can be sure to upvote.
Also, would be great if you could use this translation technique to put the English translation side-by-side next to the Indonesian: A Golden Technique For The Translators Of Steemit…
Terima kasih. 🙏
