RE: Pretend artists shouldn't get our vote$.
Yeah, I haven't been very active on steemit, but one of the first things I almost fell for was upvoting someone copy pasting a youtube vid of another steemian. One downside of the tool you shared, which I do appreciate, is that it only catches the really lazy thieves. The ones that don't even bother to reupload the image. Also it might also cause false positives, as in someone posting his/her image on multiple sites.
Maybe someone knows a tool that checks image contents to uncover exploiters like this. Although it might persuade more artists to come to steem if they notice their work getting money here.
@joeyd, I think I know what you mean. And it may work for even unlazy ones. I think it does find fresh images despite new address because the search is based of the image itself. It also points out date, time, and URLs of found work. Lots of good info.
The reason why I bothered checking was when someone repeatedly took credit for several pieces of art with such different styles, I got wary. The funny thing is, I really don't even have the heart or desire to police this issue, thus my post with a tool to help all of us as a collective address it.
Happy steemin!
@karencarrens I checked their FAQ and it seems I was wrong and you are right. They seem to be using image recognition to check images. I got the wrong impression when I read the last part in the last screenshot of your post, where I thought it said that they did not look at the contents of the image.
Oh and I also forgot to praise you for your rendition of the white picket fence 😜.
Thank you for verifying and for praising my artwork. lol. Please resteem my post if you think it will help others. My inspiration for the post is still actively at it, so educating others is going to be the key.
No problem and this is now my first resteem ever. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I could not find the itty-bitty little icon for it that I've never done this before, nope, nothing at all.
Anyways you are now the proud receiver of a JoeyD stamp of approval. Just put it up with the other stamps, I recommend the toilet where it will receive the most attention of its occupants. It's the ancient traditional place for the Dutch to force feed people your opinions and POV and you are certain that they can't escape.
OMG! I'm am CRACKING up. I'll show you where I decide to put my @JoeyD stamp of approval! I'm honored! And, oh yes! thanks for resteeming it! I know it will help others!
As you should be 😊, although the way you worded it leaves me a bit worried.
I warn you though, I might just make real "Dutch Wisdom Tiles" (google it and be amazed) type JoeyD stamps of approval and send them to toilets all over the world.
Oh damn, now I'm seriously considering doing this as well, I'm even looking up ways to pull it of. Oh god, now I'm even coming up with solutions that might actually work. Oh crap, now you've done it, I just figured out a couple of ways I could pull it off depending on the price.
