@cryptopie reminded me of experience I had on paid to post platform (PTP). That was a year 2022 to 2023. My friend @alli001 introduced me to the blogging platform and I was curious about how people manage to make money online. He always posted his achievement from the site which lastly draw my interest to it. So I I decided to join him and start blogging.
The platform was friendly as you can publish your post on whatever topics and community you choose. The fun part of it is that you earn points for each post and comments you made on the site. So I was able to write about the topic I like, I searched it on Google, copied it and add few words and post. I was earning points until twhen it reaches a stage I needed to withdraw. My post were review and the payment was cancel or declined with the statementPLAGIARISM. The worst part of it is that I didn't even understand what it means. I was also blocked from the platform. It was painful as I spent most of my time on the site but I didn't abides with the rules which is plagiarism.
After the experience @alli001 discovered another paying platform, the same PTP blogging site. But before I join the platform i do research about plagiarism and I discovered that it's copying someone else's ideas. So in other to succeed in the new platform I had to write my own post, my ideas, my knowledge and my thoughts. Luckily to me after a lot of hard work I was able to earn $5 as my first withdrawal from online platforms.
When he now told me about steemit, I was scared because I thought it more complicated but after sometimes I decided to give it a try. Most time I always like to use a scenario within me in writing my post instead of copying it from internet or plagiarizing. Thank you @alli001,@kidi40, @wakeupkitty and the rest that encourage me on this platform.

If you can speak or think you can write. If you type down your thoughts it's a freewrite and it makes what you write more personal, valuable and memorable.
There's no need to repeat what is already posted, copy-paste what we can find everywhere and which is rarely tested, updated or tried out by the writer. Exceptions are more interesting and so are opinions, thoughts, different cultures. That is what we can learn from, deny or adapt, have benefit from and indeed it can bring us down as well.
Find your niche because that is what will lift you to a higher level and makes you a personality.

Thank you for this guidelines, I will be creating my own thoughts instead of copy people's work and post. Please if you don't mind I have something that has been bothering me for a long time. Sometimes when I join a contest, I usually use the hint set by the organizer, but a long the line when checking plagiarism on the write up, I realized that the given hint would be mark as plagiarism. What's the way forward? what should we do at that time? Is it proper changing the contest hint? Am I one only person who noticed it? @wakeupkitty what do you think?
Once again I appreciate for your support, God blessed you.
If you cite something you can write it like this
start with >
Or "......"
I am not sure if I understand what you mean since 99% cites the questions of contests which could be labelled as plagiarism as well.
But you can always ask the host and fight the deciscion of the moderator. It's not they they are perfect and the AI and plagiarism checkers make mistakes as well. 4-5 might be needed and none is 100% accurate.
If it happens again you can show me that example.
I will as well do that because most time when I check and the question hint is mark as plagiarism, I will change some words or replace it with something else and scan again. That's how I use to bypass it. Thank you for your time, I really enjoyed your company.
