RE: Steemit Advanced User FAQ: A Definitive Guide on Getting Your Unique Content Appreciated
I can totally see your reflection on the right ant's butt. 👌
Oh yea, and nice post.
Hehe, just kidding. I get SO ticked off when I find posts that copy a little bit of text from an article and then link to the article itself. I've never been brave enough to flag anyone, but I might start reporting to @steemcleaners.
Is that passive aggressive of me?
Heh :) I guess everyone has a different understanding of plagiarism - sadly not everyone has proper education, which is why Steemit is overwhelmed by copy pasted content. Reporting is important, indeed!
Thanks for commenting!
I reported one person yesterday in steemitabuse and someone remarked that the posts in question fall under fair use. There isn't a single bit of original content, however. He copies the first few paragraphs (or sometimes the whole article), uses their photos, and then links to their article in the bottom of the post. That can't be right!
Also, what about the people who post youtube compilations? If those are linked to youtube, is that fair use?
