Thank you for writing this - I completely agree with what you said, @spenceryan! In fact, I find it highly problematic that there are so many users on Steemit that are reposting and profiting off content that is not their own. Unfortunately, this is a downfall of the Steemit platform in general - it does not account for the quality of what is being capitalized. While some of us actually work to earn, there are others who imitate to earn.
