One of the things I know when I join Steemit is that Steemit is a place for everyone who has the creativity to pour it into a writing. And of course there will be some kind of "reward" that will be given for each writing made in the form of upvote that will be able to make money. That's what I understand first.
Creating an article or a writing is not as easy as we think. Sometimes we still ask, is my writing worth reading? Is the placement of his sentence and words appropriate? Or does anyone read? Will I be able to generate a lot of upvote from my writing this? Of course every Steemit user many who think like that.
And finally when it comes to the last question where rewards and upvotes are a priority, the deadlock ultimately leads some people to plagiarism. Yes, plagiarism or taking part or all of the work of others without listing the source at all is a shortcut chosen by many users of Steemit. Though it is prohibited in Steemit. I had read a few rules and read some posts from friends of Steemit.
And all I want to say is, STOP PLAGIARISM! Just write down what we want to write. Although the results may not be what we want, write them down. Think of it as a learning material. And although we will later quote some of the work of others (whether it be text, paragraphs or images), try to always include the source. Respect the work of others.
