Trust me, plenty more.
Why we need to do something about it?
- Plagiarism is theft.
- Duplicate content can cause penalties from Google, especially if it happens extensively.
- We don't want fraudsters to make money using content that was written and is owned by someone else, without crediting the original source.
- It's just wrong thing to do.

Tip of the iceberg ...
Total earnings: $1318,99
Why we need to do something about it?
The major problem here is people have valued introductions over real content for example: I have read yesterday the quick introduction of a girl having a blast in vegas showing a verified picture of her ( could really well be another photoshoped steem picture) In this picture she has a crack of boobs out and she ended earning 1500$ so far.
