RE: AskSteem: What are your thoughts on ghostwriters?
For non-personal things a ghost writer is okay I guess (like the football posts), but as soon as there is personal opinion involved it no longer suits. If someone uses a ghostwriter or Fiverr to write a post to earn on, the writer deserves the entire amount - if you do the work, you get the pay. It depends on content though.
If I remember correctly, JerryB has writers do the work for him claiming it as his own.
This is similar to my thoughts.
For some project like ocd where no persona exists, ghost writing would be expected.
To share a personal opinion or experience it is down right shameful.
To offer advice, we are into serious greyzone territory. Personally I am against it and will cut this person off. I can usually tell by quality engagement of they are for real or not since ghost writers don't tend to respond to comments with POB.
Yep.
If there is any engagement at all.
