This is what happening steem for a long long time mate, I'd love to see this platform clean from such unordinary pieces of stuff but I guess no one cares, people are begging dolphins and whales to sell their votes to the genuine people, how in an earth someone could sell the votes? The most severe issue is selling upvotes, not a friend upvoting another friend's content. Also, as far as the copied stuff is concerned. Check some of my personally generated quotes/memes. Don't forget to upvote if you like =)
