RE: Copy, Paste, STEEMIT! Making Money Off Of Other People’s Content?
I don't want to go on a "crusade", and when I do downvote, I post a comment as to why I have done that, I will say things like "article appears to be stolen from http://xyz/0/sfs/xyx.html
Sometimes the author will say "so, whats wrong with stealing content?" ...and I will explain. Look at my replies.. I'm constantly commenting. I'm doing it again, right now. :)
The crusade comment was directed more at the abuse brigade police force that is forming.
That's the way to do it. Inform instead of attack. It will only take a few comments like yours to get people to add commentary.
I think that would be the best way, post a commentary (doesn't have to be long) about the link itself and the individuals personal thoughts of the article.
I'm kinda in the same place I won't down vote copy paste content but I also won't up vote it, which kinda sucks when it's a decent article. So if someone merely linked it with their own little write up, that I would up vote for. If it was A) a good find and B) a tiny bit of effort was put into the commentary and it doesn't look like a 2 year old wrote it.
