RE: HUGE NEWS: Famous VC Investor FRED WILSON is ROOTING FOR STEEMIT!!

I agree, which is why I downvoted. We shouldn't be setting a precedent by rewarding people that literally copy and paste other people's content.

Is the avc blog yours Kevin?

I don't mind copy/paste if it's clear that it is copied & the link to the original exists. There is value in bringing this content to steem. I (and others) may not have come across the link any other way. (But not $12k worth. That's hilarious. I hope the largest whales diversify themselves soon.)

How does what I said merit a downvote? Come on. Are we advocating censorship here?

funny enough I have created a couple of posts copy/paste and I didn't get 1 cent... this guy got already 11k+$ how funny is it?

Wow, this blew up. It was just meant as a friendly comment, so that people who don't like visiting unknown websites could read the article. (This is cryptoland, and people are often paranoid clicking links to unknown sites - with good reason)
As far as I remember, you didn't link to the original blog in your first edit Kevin. That's why I linked it with the text. I'm not claiming to have written the text, and therefore thought it was okay to copy the text into a comment. (I'm not making an entirely new post for it.)
I'm sorry if I stepped over somebodies toes, but clearly a lot of people appreciated being able to read the article on Steem.
