How about not being a waste of oxygen? I mean I know the money's good and easy, but is it actually good for your sense of self worth? Personally I'd feel like a piece of shit if I was you.

That's just me though.

but is it actually good for your sense of self worth?

Are you seriously asking this?
Yes, I'm adding value to Steem by relaying good content to all Steemian who want it.

I'm also personally enjoying the conversation that is happening about these issues here instead of that garbage comment section on ZeroHedge.com

you're not adding any value for me.

What does that even mean? How is that applicable to this discussion?

Are you the barometer and standard to measure by? I not trying to be a jerk here but when debating something like this, it is best to stick with what is applicable. There is a lot of stuff on here that adds no value to me yet that doesnt mean it shouldnt be posted. Posts about bird watching add no value to steemit for me but it does to those who care about that sort of thing.

I am not sure you finding value in something or not has anything to do with whether the person should post it or not.

I didn't say whether he should post it or not, I said that I don't see him as adding value to the network, I see him as corroding the reputation of the whole system, and doing so for his own personal gain.

And you're welcome to ignore them, like everyone else...they're not hurting anybody. Being deceptive about WHO you are, and copying other people's written works, then passing them off as your own is a shitty usage of our system in my humble opinion.
