I hear you guys, @clayboyn and @mfxae86 on stealing other people's work and I totally agree with you there. But it isn't as black and white as that in my book. How can it be so worthless to share the same (or similar) material all over the place, if it is meant to inspire the masses?

For example, I've been publishing since the early 90's and then moved all of that over online in '95. From there I went wild especially the early years buying stock pics and creating thousands and thousands of webpages. For me, generally speaking, the vast majority of the pics and especially poetry have been freely shared not to make money off of, per se, but to make my life count for something more by inspiring others under my banner of "Better Life International" (from before when Oprah created her "Foundation for a Better Life", with which I also collaborated and helped share).

My point is, what if someone created content to give freely away in hopes it will go viral? And what if on steemit, someone likes the inspiration and upvotes it monetarily to help support it. Isn't that for each member here to decide?

Sorry, if I seem a bit blunt here. I speak also in frustration. After my first 2 weeks of really getting active here, two days ago @steemcleaners hit 3 of my posts without any warning at all, removing all the pics, downvoting the posts and worst of all, removing all the funds I had earned on them. All of this because their bot found another site where the head pic was also found online. I replied like they asked to explain and they still will not answer to help me in anyway to find a solution to this and give me my options to reinstate the posts and how to move forward. So yeah, I'm feeling a bit up to my neck in steemit bot quicksand here trying to make sense of it all... :)
