Achievement 3 by @ibtisamwaqas Task : Content Etiquette
What is plagiarism
The word plagiarism has come from the Latin word ‘plagiarius,’ which means to kidnap. As the plagiarism definition suggests, when someone uses the work of another artist without properly citing the source or giving credit, then that will be an instance of plagiarism. Plagiarism is a punishable offense, and it is a form of intellectual theft. It is effortless to plagiarise any content or article from the website, but at the same time, it has grave consequences. Plagiarism can affect someone’s career adversely. The student often uses parts of an article in his project without crediting the source, therefore, committing plagiarism. The teachers must warn the students about plagiarism. Source
If we plagiarize someone else's content then we are stealing, stealing the credit for the material that person has produced using their knowledge and skill and has spent plenty of time doing it.
On steemit there are many communities and accounts dedicated to detect Plagiarism and warn the users for these actions. They can downvote those users who are found indulged in such action that will make them lose their Steem Reputation which is only gathered with engagement with the curators and whales. Here a user can earn money by the concept of proof of brain, where a user gets paid for creating original content. And original here means the content a person has created using their own abilities and skills.
For a person like me my Proof of brain will be the reviews of games that i play, it could be the drawings i made or Crypto content that i will start making. And earn by all the means which we can use.
To make good use of the Proof of brain here in steemit community a person must follow their own passion. If they are good at writing they can join dedicated communities for writers like @writingandreviews, if they like to take pictures they can share that as well in @Stockphotos, a person having passion for drawing and painting could find relevant communities and a crypto enthusiast could always join @steemitCryptoAcademy (p.s. joining and being able to #SteemitCryptoAcademy is my ultimate goal here :D)
I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them
