Trust me, plenty more.
Why we need to do something about it?
- Plagiarism is theft.
- Duplicate content can cause penalties from Google, especially if it happens extensively.
- We don't want fraudsters to make money using content that was written and is owned by someone else, without crediting the original source.
- It's just wrong thing to do.

Tip of the iceberg ...
Total earnings: $1318,99
Why we need to do something about it?
The major problem here is people have valued introductions over real content for example: I have read yesterday the quick introduction of a girl having a blast in vegas showing a verified picture of her ( could really well be another photoshoped steem picture) In this picture she has a crack of boobs out and she ended earning 1500$ so far.

You need to note another thing... Smart inventor $76.13 and 227 votes...
boob chic = $18K and 85 votes
So big people (aka whales) are voting. I know they are doing it to try to attract more demographic than just tech and crypto people. In that image the cancer cure actually got more votes. Those voting just don't have much steem power yet. Therefore, there is a ray of sunlight, an image of hope that things will change. Remember this is beta and we are all early to this thing.
I think thieves will see their profits reduced from now on. the steem community is starting to self police.
and posts exposing the cheats are starting to be rewarded.
This post is nothing but a bunch of links. Not informative
This is an eye opener, and I don't mean the boobs graphic! I guess it's up to all of us to only upvote content that really deserves it. And yeah, hopefully the Cheetah bot will have an impact
Nice curating skill, i am really curious how to detect plagiarism and identity theft on steemit.
So that i can report a plagiarism on steemit
does going through the list and MUTE them help?
Fell off my chair when I saw how little this post earned. Very thorough investigating and cataloging of fraudsters and scammers. Thanks for doing this.
You can check if an article on Steem is plagiarized, what percent of it is plagiarized, and from what sources by running it through this Plagiarism Checker.
So after year anything changed?
Yeah... Got the same problem last year - one "clever" guy decided to steal my identity: he created social media profiles that duplicated mine (all personal and professional info, all links to my publications, all descriptions of skills and professional path), except the name and photo. The funniest thing, he called himself "Lester" (I am Lesley - got it? :) Now I use https://plagiarismcheck.org/ and other corresponding tools to check for duplications every file I create to prove my authorship in case of accusations. C'est la vie...
Keep up the good work!
btw, @bison015 looks like a bot. It only writes
Yup, it's a bot :-)
