greetings @seanlloyd,

The internet is one giant copy machine. Imitation is also the greatest flattery for any content creators.

As long as you put a reference link that points them back to the originator's page it's all good. How do you think all the news, linkedin, yahoo, etc, get publishs? Almost all by references.

If you have done the leg work to read and select the best, you are already curating, but you're not getting paid for curating correct. Get rewarded here on Steemit. I would suggest putting a short paragraph of your own thoughts and twist for it to add value to increase the payout!

Best Wishest!
