Has anyone noticed the current plague of the plagiarists?
I didn't have time for much posting today but do like to keep on top of things and still input to the community, so...
I browse to new posts and scroll down clicking the occasional article I found interesting. I read one on artificial intelligence - excellent I thought, give that a vote and a comment. But no, cheetah had gotten there first. I looked at cheetah's source link, the steemit article was a blatant rip off.
Not put off I scrolled on.. oooo, an article on Edward Snowden. Nope, mostly plagiarised. Again helped by cheetah's spot!
Onward I marched my heart beginning to lie heavy in my chest. For the love of steem I thought... Let me find some new voice that wrote their own post!!!
Oh aye, what's this? A post about Swedish pyramids? Intriguing!! NOPE, COPIED!!!
Arrgh, seriously. It makes browsing for new content a right pain in the chuff at times. Still, you can't let them win so despite this plague I will go on, looking for new voices and interesting people to follow that aren't just bots looking for a quick buck by ripping off others work.
It reinforces for me that we should all be grateful to cheetah and the fine work that that particular feline bot does.
Now off to read about an army veteran flying his flag upside down.... Oh no... Copied!!!!!
Stop the plagiarism!!!
