RE: What Type of Content Do We Want Steem to Be Known For?
Mostly agree with your post, but some times new users that have content in other platforms (wordpress, facebook, twitter) they will want to share that content on steemit.com too and if they are the author of that content then they should do whatever they want with it right? maybe with a proof of stake they can prove that they are the original author of that content, that will help a lot with false positives on plagiarism.
Yes, that is understandable. It of course is best if the author can verify that it is them on other platforms. But until they verify, it's hard to support it when it could be someone posing as that author.
Look at @vicenews, I don't believe anyone got a verification it was really them so they weren't getting much support. For all we know it's just an impersonator.
