unfortunately steemcleaners and this site overall tends to confuse censorship with abuse and have no mechanism of helping people or deterring people from downvoting flagrantly or posting plagiarized content [esp sine sources like this tumblr that stole this content for me is an accepted source around here>< ]
as we all saw downvoting said account to oblivion..does nothing to vote power. this is a huge problem of steemit. i am also VERY anxious about the ok on plagarism and abuse. that is going to fuck steemit in future when this platform really starts to take off. It seems to go against steemits entire platform values to allow abuse and plagiarism on a site that claims to value original content creators.
no ones woried yet...but all it would take is enough posts making enough $ off plagiarized work and you have a lovely lawsuit against the site itself! Forget the individual creators a lawyer would go after the whole site for plagiarism especially since theres $ to be made. This place isnt like fb or twitter you can't share other people shit and claim "fair use" cause you 1. aren't adding to it and 2. are making $ off of it.
I am just waiting for one of the big porn studios to catch wind of steemit and come for us....>>
so ya i really hope steemit figures out a way to deal with this [maybe make it a rule that all work needs to original or at least be more than just copy pasting and sourcing?]
or i feel like we'll go the way of the silk road...a lack of regulation give a lawyer or a government tons of room to demonize and find a way to shut it down.
