RE: I found an amazing photographer on SteemIt, so I flagged him
Thanks for coming clean, and sorry we had to meet like this, but no real harm done now. This is not the first time this has happened and in fact people steal my work all the time and call it their own; there have been times when sites have banned me for putting my work there and finding it already there and they have said I am the plagiarist, not so much my photos these days as I give them all away for free on Pixabay, and many other sites including National Geographic, but mainly my writing that is taken. Someone told me if it is stolen so much then I must be good. I have noticed many that do take my work and call it their own actually make far more on it than I do; I wonder why...This image I took in the north of Thailand one day and was out visiting the temples and came across this little fellow who had just eaten and so was no that interested in me as food. I crept up on him, or her and took a quick shot and then counted myself as lucky and got out of it and went and had a cup of coffee...
Awesome story @wales... Glad you got flagged by @whatsup or else I never would have found you in the vast sea of STEEM. Cheers!
Yes, now that I come to think of it, it was a good thing that he flagged me and then apologised, which was nice of him to do so, and proper; it's brought me lots of attention...
Its OK, Flags can be forgotten when you give Upvotes, it makes people forget about the flags
When I looked up "Stolen Artwork GIF" on Google Images, I found this GIF of a VR Art Gallery of stolen famous artwork heh
maybe youll get your stuff featured here one day :D
Maybe one day
We do have to watch out for plagiarists on Steemit as they are eager to make money for no work. It's best to have some proof of who you are if possible, e.g. link to your Steemit account from elsewhere. You've got some great pictures and I hope Steemit works well for you.
Thanks; in future maybe I will put my link to where my photos are as proof that I am who I say I am. I hope to be off on another adventure soon and will take loads of photos and write about my travels...
If anybody plagiarizes your content in Steemit let me know and I will fuck them up.
Regards,
I'll keep it in mind...
Welcome to the site! I hope people will find your beautiful photos now. Maybe my mistake will benefit your visibility!
Sorry about the shaky start, let's see if we can fix that! :) Sometimes making amends can be fun.
