The Irony Of Plagiarism/AI-Translated Text vs High Upvotes
If Only Money Matters (AI/Bots/Deals/Upvotes)
The truth.
It's disappointing to read how @steemitblog fights Steemians, writers, and those using AI, plagiarism and copy-paste posts if it comes to the average Steemian but doesn't if it comes to their own posts.
There are copies of these posts rewarded very high. No, not always by @steemcurator01 or steemcurator02 but this is a fact. Is this the way to keep communities updated? Is this the way to create good content and creativity?
I like to know why copies of the posts of @steemitblog which literally contain everything that I, we, are not allowed to are not fought. Where is the Steemit Watcher if it comes to these posts? Is it really that hard to write a few lines about what is asked if it comes to the SLCs and applications for curators?
It feels like to me that we are "helemaal van het padje af" (Dutch expression and no, I am not willing to translate it.).

Reposting what is written in a different language is
- Copy-paste - lazy text
- PLAGIARISM
- AI translated text
The posts of @steemitblog are not the only ones that are multiplied this way.
@pennsif the same is done with your news and as we know there's not much time involved to translate this since it's not done by humans but by AI and there's not even a personal note added by the one who reposts the AI-generated translation. Since you are on the lookout for promoters of the SteemAtlas it might be good to consider that more is needed to promote it than a group taking it the easy way.
I like to see some change.
Let those who translate write a text themselves and leave a link to the original post.
If you ask me this isn't more than a decent thing to do plus it avoids giving the wrong signals (AI, Plagiarism is okay!)
Next to that, we might see more variety if it comes to promoting whatever can, and should be promoted. Different writers have different writing styles, and points of view to consider which is a must for a good promotor. If you are not enthusiastic, not willing to figure something out, make it work under different circumstances and only recite the same riddle it's better to let it be.
Deals
To those who this concerns
It's obvious that deals are made if it comes to these copy-pasted, AI-generated texts where high upvotes are given for what isn't original and the information is rarely that interesting since a translation adds nothing to the original post.
Again I ask you: Is it really that hard if you are committed and are enthusiastic about Steemit to write a text and promote whatever you like to promote or spread awareness about yourself instead of generating an income and preaching to others this is not done?
Offer
For 175 dollars I let AI translate the text and will post it on SCB
But hey for 100 dollars I do the translation myself do we have a deal? Who knows if I can find a trick to take the Steem I can buy a PC as well and play Steem Retrogames Space Invasion to try to beat @frafiotamale or @the-gorilla in a year or two.

Vote buying practice is there, the vote seller wouldn't care about your text, as long as there are some STEEMs or SBDs along with the link in the memo, they will give the vote. For them it's just business as usual. Picture below is an example.
0.00 SBD,
0.11 STEEM,
0.11 SP
So it's good to close a deal with the seller? How much does one pay for such an upvote? Does it benefit or is it delegation as well?
@mikitaly @stef1 @adeljose (see the posts)
I believe it's one of the many systems to receive an upvote on a post by paying in Steem.
But I’m not very familiar with bots and things like that.
I believe we should find a system to reward investors without them having to post AI-generated or copy-paste content every day.
We need to distinguish between investors and bloggers for the benefit of the platform.
The only way is to change the way bots distribute rewards, perhaps by distributing them directly in their wallet, leaving the content side to those who truly write.
This way, the platform could develop its full potential, both in the investment sector and in the creative side of bloggers.
But I’m not sure if it’s possible, if those who manage the bots are willing to revolutionize their distribution system.

This is not generated text but a copy and transkation of what steemitblog posts. It's like you posting my story with a different title and first picture translated... and receiving an upvote for that
Your idea is interesting
Your comment made us think, consider & smile
Thanks for spreading light & joy.
We wish you a colourful and lovely day

Steemit is also like an exchange platform, some users look for different ways to get good rewards, this is achieved with votes from whale accounts, these votes can be bought with Steem, or in exchange for delegation, which in a certain way is legal, it is permissive. What is wrong is that some try to skip the platform regulations, publishing plagiarized, spam or repeated content, only with the intention of obtaining rewards without much effort.
It should be noted that these types of users and content can receive significant downvotes, which substantially reduce the rewards, generating losses for their investment.
But only one has been made effective.
This means that it will take longer to recover its liquidity.

Your content has been successfully curated by our team via @kouba01.
Thank you for your valuable efforts! Keep posting high-quality content for a chance to receive more support from our curation team.
That's actually a positive side to these practices! 👍
Not any more. Sometimes it takes a little longer and if it doesn't work at all, the amount is returned.
So the conclusion is that it's not worth it, right? =D
I believe it depends on the sellers, some sell at a fixed price, some other are more flexible but always a minimum payment. This is not new in Steem.
I don't really know. It the past I tried several times and in my opinion based on those experiences it is not worth doing it. Not to mention that sometimes they just "forget" to vote and you just cannot reimburse. But let's see from the above picture, this account pays 102 STEEM for 100% vote, and get in return the vote of as much as about 50 to 60 STU, plus the curation trail that follow which is not so much, the buyer will have about 60 STU in payment.
The payment breakdown will look like this picture below. 170 STEEM + 170 SP, deducts 50% curators' rights = 70 STEEM + 70 SP, with a capital of 102 STEEM, isn't that very interesting? It makes about 40 (STEEM + SP) in total in one transaction.
Are you interested? 😁😁😁

Unfortunately, the values on Steemit are not correct. I am working on a suggestion for correction.
Please check Steemworld under posts for the correct amounts. The author gets about 120 SP (60 SP + 60 STEEM). That leaves around 20 SP profit. With SBD it would be even more (depending on the price).
The curators only get SP.
0.00 SBD,
4.63 STEEM,

Yes, it was a simple calculation, 😃 thanks for correction.
