There is a lot of “theft” that is being rewarded on here. For example, I see people with high reputation and a “large” wallet only posting other people’s work. Sure, some people put the source of the work at the very bottom hoping no one will notice. In some cases, you need a magnify glass to even see it. I know that if I see one of my images being used without my permission I would be very upset, and yes it has happened to me in the past with a well-known publisher. What these people here are doing is called “copyright infringement”. And since they are making money off of someone else’s hard work is just wrong and so many people on here seem to be OK with that.
I also have seen people with 0 or -1 reputation with a very large “Wallet”. I just don’t understand….
I have seen identity thefts. A recent one I came across is who is pretending to be the real Instagram’s Korey Baruta and using contents from her blog “storyofkorey”.
When I see a “stolen” photo getting UpVoted like crazy and my original photo barely getting any votes make me just want to leave.
Will things get better? Will it be harder for these thieves to make easy money on Steemit in the future?
What are your thoughts on this?
