Continuing with the series the VEGAN SCHOOL, posts aimed at offering useful information for publishing and interacting, both inside and outside of Plant Power (Vegan) community, today we bring Lesson Two, referring to ONLY ORIGINAL CONTENT.
When we talk about ONLY ORIGINAL CONTENT, we mean precisely that: User-created content, content that isn't copied, that isn't plagiarized, either in text or in photographs. When making food-related posts, it's almost inconceivable that someone would copy content, but it happens quite frequently. And we're not referring to reviewing recipes and then making them later; that's what recipe books, websites, and channels specialized in the field are for. Ideally, if we're duplicating a recipe, we should give credit to the original creator. We're saying that it's not appropriate to copy someone else's content and present it as your own. This is plagiarism and stealing another author's work.
There's nothing more beautiful than a user cooking their own food, documenting it, and presenting it in a post. Obviously, it takes effort and the best of their ability to make a meal that's both tasty and appetizing. It's sad to take a pre-made recipe, copy it, and publish it (with or without changes) as their own. That's deeply regrettable and carries serious consequences on Hive. In the case of this community, it means permanent account silence, a downvote, and reporting to Hive Watchers, regardless of whether only part or the entire post was copied.
Original content doesn't just refer to written posts, but also to videos. So we invite you to be transparent, honest, and create your own content, document your time on this planet, and leave a faithful record of your existence, thoughts, ideas, and actions on your blogs. This will be very valuable to you in the future.
