RE: The Stealing And Re-posting of Steemit Ideas By Certain Members Of This Community With Higher Reputations.
Plagiarism is not the same thing as 'stealing' ideas. If it were then we would all be stealing from Leonardo Da Vinci,Buckminster Fuller,Robert Anson Heinlein or hundreds, if not millions of other people including me. (buy my books) who had ideas and never do anything with them.
Stealing 'ideas', then working on them, writing an original paper or article, and posting is not wrong. Copying something word for word and taking credit for it is....
If you see plagiarism don't be shy, point it out.
Be SURE that it's plagiarism.
I think he means, if you see an idea, upvote that post so the originator makes money. Instead of copying it, changing wording and making money off it yourself.
curating money? what an excellent idea.
We need curation of reputations - the old pre-bought, pre-minded reputations need an algorithm OVERHAUL!
curation of reputations - I love those words!
In the words of @endgame (with 6 votes to his comment): "This is one of the reasons I am not developing any more on Steemit. Whales can simply ignore our post and rehash it... Why would they decentralize their power? I guess certainly not to help minnows..." - NEVER A TRUE WORD SPOKEN MORE!
I agree with @mindhunter - we are reaching a messy @endgame of chess here.
The chess board needs clearing, and we need a reputational reboot!
This would certainly end the whale abuse of power, reputation and the stealing of ideas!
