RE: Plagiarism is a plague!

Absolutely. You nailed it. Plagiarism is something we all should frown at. Rather than taking other people's Glory, we should work more on ourselves to see that we grow and become a better version of ourselves.

It would be good if we all do and show what we are good at in our way but if I look at the diaries and entries to contests all I can say is that they all look exactly the same. Switching to a different community or posting in one's own blog can be the solution here just like in the old days. You write for you and use the right hashtags.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.

P.s. are you limited?

Why do I feel that you don't like reading diary game or is my mind misleading me? Oh no, you said something about steemit in olden days, would you mind telling us how it was?

I read a lot of diaries but a real diary is hard to find. It's not inyeresting to read how someone took a shower, got dressed, had breakfast, took a nap... Most of us are adults and what I miss is creativity but it's the same with the contests. Most entries are the same. It is started to help people to write but wgy not move forward? Why not free weite? Why not join photography if yiu can't write? Why not write about yiur hovbumy, something you like (book, film, party, recipe, trip?

We had great writers, wrote stories together, wordgames, people were motivated to improve. Perhaps those who joined were higher ameducated or had more love for writing? Today I onky read: i love writing, being here (read the newcomers) but most of them don't show iniative, don't look like writers and some say they love to draw but I never saw a single drawing in their account. And if you love to write why not comment? If it's a long comment you can also copy the text and post it and use the hashtag #comment. I did it several times and mentioned the post or text I commented.

I also believe there are too many rules to write in a relaxing way and I am not the only one. There are plenty of old steemians but they post in their blog or in a small community where they are not a number or a mod-report or where they can post as they like without being bothered.

Now I understand what makes you dislike diary and contest. I think the reason most people prefer join contest and diary is to get support because I noticed that it's not easy to get support by posting on a personal blog especially for newcomers. Am saying this from experience because sometimes I will like my post to be seen to be visible and to be supported by whales and I feel like participating in contest is one way of getting to the destination. What do you think?

And if you love to write why not comment? If it's a long comment you can also copy the text and post it and use the hashtag #comment. I did it several times and mentioned the post or text I commented.

I don't really understand what you mean, do you kind explaining it further?
