RE: Steemit Plagiarism and Abuse: Why Be a Copyist if You Can Be an Original?
It saddens me, too... heck, I'm horrified when I discover that I inadvertently rewrote one of my own articles from 10 years ago!
I'm just loath to go about my business and not pay attention, resigning myself to a "maybe this is as good as it gets" attitude. Surely... we can do better? Too many people concerned only with making a few more pennies now, while totally disregarding the long term impact of their actions...
Ha ha. I think you'll be forgiven for that 😆
I understand the sentiment and I know that the Steemit community as a whole can do better... it's a challenge of how though without Steemit itself doing more. Which it won't do.
There is still a lot of activity which isn't seen - in WOX in particular we spend a lot of time checking things behind the scenes so that we have our little "haven of cleanliness". And I occasionally get sucked in to other communities (Crypto Academy at the moment and community of the month applications) where the rewards for the scams are more significant.
The time investment is significant and the motivation to continue at an all time low - I appreciate that you appreciate the effort as I know that the other moderators who contact me do 🙂
