Yesterday I had a post about plagiarism on Leofinance and how a user was earning content creation rewards with stolen material. I don't like that because I don't find Leofinance as the place to be trashed that way. I wouldn't do that even if I get back to Steem. It's about morals.
The man seems to have stopped doing what he's done and he has even found a curator for his new types of posts which in my opinion are poor... in everything. I'm not the one to decide any standards or quality norms in here, but I want to address another topic.
Gray Plagiarism. This is a sort of a plagiarism where one author is not simply stealing anyone's work and presenting it as if it was his own, but rewrites it. You can do that with news articles, with all sort of blog posts and even youtube videos.
I've seen plenty of such cases during the time I joined the blockchain as a content creator, that being at the beginning of 2018, and I bet we still have such users on Hive. I don't want to become a witch hunter on Hive, I'll let 
I don't fit in the curators category because I don't have enough VP to make any sense in that regard on this chain, but some do, and it's such a pity to waste your curation on crap when you can reward decent content, users that are putting efforts and try to make a difference, that are generating authentic traffic on this platform and earn a buck or two.
It's a bit harder to spot gray plagiarism because you need to have previously read the news, or article that has become the victim of gray plagiarism, but not impossible. Hence it can easily pass as original content and it can get curated. How do you feel about curating such content though?
If you would at some point realize that one user that you keep on curating is indulging in such content creation, would you still curate his posts?
Thanks for attention,
