RE: Why does Steemit encourage lifting off articles from web and pasting here?
Cheetah used to downvote, but many people posted from their own site. If you see a cheetah comment, go research the post before upvoting to know if someone just copy-pasted to try to make money without doing anything... lol
that is one way to go about it!
There are accounts that copy paste from elsewhere, and get upvoted by many whale accounts, like zer0hedge on Steemit. That account, who knows if its even someone from the site, but someone just pastes over some articles and the whales pump it up. Copy paste easy money, and the whales support it to give them that easy money. It makes you wonder if they aren't the ones hiring someone to post on them so they can pump them up and split rewards lol.
That is a problem in the long run for serious/sincere Steemians!
