RE: [Manual Curation 101] Art tag - My criteria to vote on these posts
Sadly plagiarism is everywhere and a lot of tags seem to be struggling with it. Gaming tends to have a fair amount of it in there as well. People just copy/paste entire articles and what do they think no one will notice? Video format especially with all stuff going on over on YouTube of bots just downloading and uploading thousands of stolen content per day and finding other sites to do the same on.
I definitely would agree things like art/photos need more content into why was it taken, thoughts of the artist, backstory of the creation. Quite many great photos being shard on steemit but very little text to accompany them. It seems like it be a simple step to step up the work by including that.
You are quite courage leaving yourself open to all the people wanting to link drop you something. I personally found it annoying and do my best to limit it.
Soemtimes the plagiarism is so obvious i can´t help but think "am i being taken for a fool or is this person really living under a rock thinking this can pass as original?".
Yeah, i mean, the photos and the drawings speak for themselves but to be honest, with all the great content out there and the competition being so fierce, everyone has to bring everything to the table and make an even bigger effort to stand out from the bunch.
