Today I also found this story of someone putting up a bounty to get a MediaWiki extension that would copy pages to Steemit posts. The articles suggests they might want to plagiarise Wikipedia, but that would probably just get flagged. Maybe it's someone with their own wiki who wants to earn from the content, but would they be exploiting others if it was open to a community to edit?

I saw that post too, but didn't take the time to read it. I assumed it might be something like everipedia (on EOS), which is a fork from wikipedia, not plagiarizing.
