A lot of Plagiarism on Steemit
Hello,
I'm new to steemit, and I just wanted to know what is the protocol to follow when we spot or suspect plagiarism. Because I notice a lot of people are simply copying images, blog post, videos etc from the internet and passing it off as their own.
There are also others who copy from the internet and mention that they did, how do we deal with such people? Because they're definitely not producing original work and neither are they forwarding whatever steem they receive back to the original author.
I notice there's a flag button, and I have used it once or twice, but is there more that we can do to stop this?
Cheers to all the original Steemers out there!
Here's a photo of my dog, Romeo, for spending time to read this :D
I believe the only way for now is to flag off till other alternatives are been cater for, always make sure you share such content fake author to friends so as to flag off together, Good post. Kudos!
I'm with you mate! haha now that I've discovered steemcleaners and reverse image searching, it's actually a habit now for me to reverse image search every photo i see..
you are right, we can actually do it together
What exactly "flag" means and does?
I tried to upvote some new posts. It feels that some of them are automatically created because text is not corresponds with picture, has errors and authors does not reply to comments...
Everything has positive and negative side...you can't blame Steemit for plagiarism..there are massive free resources available on internet and they are free to use, if you want to share some good information, you can mention their source url..Also there is 1 steemit bot named @cheetah who searches the similar and copied content on web...
Anyway here is a Juliet for your Romeo... :)

haha thank you for your input Mark! mmm well it's not that i blame steemit, i definitely don't, it's really just human greed. But what I hope to see is a steemit which has more original content than plagiarised so that there's an overall better experience for all of us!
and omggg, that's a really cute dog!
Thanks, that's true Greed is a part of human nature and we should try to share the most heartwarming, uplifting, useful and important content..remember... sharing is caring... and knowledge is power!

Good post
Good sharing @cuddlepots
thank you, let's clean up steem tgt for a better more valuable platform for all of us!
Dogs are sometimes much better than some people, they are very smart, faithful, real. They will never betray you, even if we abuse them sometimes, anyway, we are for them the best
Too cute dog too !!! my style!
haha i have a lot of photos of him i haven't posted yet, check back on my blog every now and then, i try to post one of him everyday!
The stuff to be cleared up of using other sources of info with all human achievements not only inventing a bike is quite of drawing attention. Thanks for focusing.
