Spam, like what you do, is discouraged. We are encouraged to downvote blatant plagiarism.

Posting dozens of articles that are a perfect copy/paste without even giving credit to the original author is definitely against Steem's goals. Please, @dantheman do correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Writing about the article in your own words is encouraged. Sharing your opinions, and providing an original take on the article.

Please, @dantheman let me know if this is considered acceptable by Steem. If we can just copy every news article on the internet and paste it here to be paid. That, from my perspective, is spam.
