I think the bigger problem is the firehose of plagiarism spam of late. People take public stories and just copy+paste onto Steemit.
The problem is twofold. One, they're benefiting from someone else's work at almost zero effort. Two, it creates a legal risk for Steemit and puts all our Steem and SBD in danger.
