I did a little post about the value of your labor..

In it I mention that your word and your reputation are often more important and more valuable than the actual monetary value of your post or labor. A huge amount of social capital is determined by your honesty, and plagiarizing work will seriously harm any social capital you have built here in this community. I find a lot of people here just openly linking to content that they have not created, and never even write a small blurb about why it matters to them. Like you stated in one of your earlier videos on this series, just be yourself and be honest, and you will gain the following and the reputation you deserve. Even if the timeframe you hope to accomplish this is isn't going as fast as you thought, there is no shortcut to success by using the hard work and labor of others to profit for yourself.

Thanks as always @papa-pepper
