RE: Consider the power of your flag.
I could understand if at least the things they poster were original content, however bad. Paying for whaleshares and then using them to promote your own content I can understand, but doing it to just grab quick bucks from copy/pasta is pretty abusive. Upvoted and resteemed to hopefully get some visibility on this. Always appreciate your level headedness about these types of things @whatsup.
Thank you, I don't worry too much about other people's content, but I am growing really frustrated with the one photo, 0 text posts. They are just messy. Last night I went through 10 posts on the new page, and 3 of them were 1 photo, no text, tons of results on the google image search.
Some of these are certainly spam, but we need to be cautious moving forward and realize that content may be posted from alternate sources such as Steepshot and not fit the long form blogging we've grown accustomed to on Steemit. I think Steemit.com needs to address sorting & filtering content based on popular source platforms.
Interesting point, they will have to figure out how to mark them. This is not the case with this person. He is posting any shit picture he can find.
This is a game-changer.
I agree, I do single photo posts quite often, but always accompanied with some words, and they are always my own original content. I get very nervous when it comes to flagging because I have spent a crap ton of time and effort on building my Steemit rep and SP and I don't want to lose it, but if we don't all chip in I suppose we will all lose everything eventually, guess I need to grow a pair and start flagging :(
