RE: CNN Journalist Amber Lyon reveals ‘Governments Pay Us To Fake News’
Cheetah compares content for duplication. It helps readers to be informed about whether or not content is original. Where it finds the content may vary, depending on which site it finds first. If you compare the Truthseeker article to RedFlagNews, you'll likely see similarity, if not an exact replica.
Her comment is only an alert, not a flag.
FWIW, it's not our bot. But it is helpful to the community.
Thank you for replying, I see now, that makes sense, however, the Truthseeker is identical to the RedFlag one because they also reported on RedFlags article, it was RedFlag that reported it first and you will find that anyone reporting on RedFlags article also leaves it intact and credits them, I was replying to the bot mainly because I pride myself in delivering quality content, and sometimes that requires leaving the original source as is and making sure people know who it was from, my point is I didn't want anyone thinking I was trying to straight up copy, thats not the intention :)
The content is outstanding. We wanted to promote it. Unfortunately, we follow Cheetah's lead on how much content is repeated. That doesn't mean there's anything unethical happening, but that a certain degree of duplicate content exists.
Note that Cheetah says that she finds similar content, not identical. We did upvote it though.
For clarity, we're not part of Steemit. SNO is independent, but curates and promotes Steemit content. So our comments are just to try to be helpful, but in now way representative of Steemit Inc.
