My Latest Article: How To Declutter
Thanks, Spencer! I've been curating the posts in 'new' for a while today. It struck me how every time I refresh, there's a ton of new posts again. Unfortunately, many of those are plagiarism and 'duplicates' (two people both linking some youtube vid, for example). I'm trying my best to get the good content up, hoping I can make a difference.
I'll take a look at the post you linked!
Yeah, that is a common occurrence around here. That is why it is very important to find good reliable authors and only vote on them. Then you will have the best chance of earning some great rewards.
