This is the reason I like Steemit! It is where origianl content is valued above copy and paste.
Imagine, original content from around the globe, without advertisement.
Isn't this why we all hold Steem in high regard?

Blogging is about content creation and introducing communities to new, and creative ideas. If you want to use someome's image, give them credit. It takes longer to come up with original ideas, and don't forget that you can add a new spin to older topics too. More people need to see your post. Followed and resteemed

I too will join you. Steemit was a spam-less community when I joined. Now I see a rise of spamming here too. I don't want this site to be like "Bubblews" which shutted down due to spamming. Let's flag low quality posts together.

groundcontrol (54) · 7 years ago

Not a tough choice for steemit - either be a place where original content is created and rewarded making value for the platform OR let it become a place for random uncredited images until investors abandon $steem.
Maybe we need an option to select why a post/comment is being flagged to encourage more usage of it, i think its a bit hidden or people are scared of retaliation if they use it since someone can flag back without reason given.

Greetings Fellow Masters:

It is critical to find systems to eliminate...the enemy

Greed, Garbage and Gobbledegook could kill Steemit.

We must work together to keep this platform one of knowledge, quality content, shared experience, original opinions and visions, and ultimately Value.

I make it my homework to seek out and read/view/experience other quality superhero's works and to let them know they are strengthening us.

The Garbage must be emptied.

Working together as a Team is fulfilling the Dream

Each one reach one, teach one,
and if it's bullsh*t, Impeach one.

Forward!

j3dy (60) · 7 years ago

hi I saw you unfollowed me, I don't normally go on steemdb, anyways, I scrolled back and it turned out you were my first follower :D weird as it is I haven't payed much attention to you during the past few months, but then again I didn't pay much attention to anything, other than maybe 2,3 people here and my own life which had taken a back seat.

I presume you had a problem with my comment, I'd like to clarify why I have started flagging here and there, first of I don't mind copy pasted links, my first run in was when a random youtube video had made it to the trending page with 40$ way back when my posts that I spend around 3 hours on, were making a dollar up to five here and there, I meant no disrespect and I didn't care much, I joked around how if this post was worth 40$ then mine should be worth 200, how he's basically making money off somebody else and how he could have at least added some context or something personal on how he got t the video or something. I didn't flag then and I rarely do, I do flag however when I see the follow for follow making 2000 followers because he knocked on 15000 doors and made who knows how many spammy comments, when bots are spamming or people are claiming something that they don't own as their own is when I have a problem, I don't mind people sharing stories, I don't mind people sharing links, I don't mind people adding a sentence in a post with a picture, I don't mind the blatant spam some posts are I just don't pay attention to them, you're stories are nice, at least the five chapters I've read, the news you share, I don't care for so I don't open that, I've read enough and too much articles to know it doesn't matter much to me and it takes time away from more important things, like being on steemit for five hours :D or watching a crapload of videos on ted or some algorithmic playlist on some topic on YT.

Flagging is the only thing that could bring some conversation in some cases, in most it brings more spam, but in the case of payouts when some bot queue goes and upvotes or people blatantly abuse payouts well of course I will flag and of course when somebody welcomes me in steemit and wants a follow for follow with a copy pasted colorful five imagery comment.

Cheers, good luck with the writings :)

I applaud you for doing this @bullionstackers. Copy/paste is not fair to the ones who spend countless hours on their original content posts. Steemit is appealing because of original, creative content. If copy/paste is allowed to continue, Steemit will lose it's appeal and will also lose it's great authors. Copy/Paste is fraud!

sharingandcaring (43) · 7 years ago

I must admit that as a new steemer I occasionally add into my post a youtube video that provides excellent support of a point I want to make. Reading some peoples posts that are totally original isn't always the best either. Matter of fact, poor spelling and grammar and content that is impossible to understand is far worse. Hope you get my point!

Copyscape is a place you can put an article and find out if it is anywhere else on the internet. It will tell you if there are even sentences that are similar. I always run my post through it just to make sure it is 100% . It costs just a few dollars for credits but I feel it is worth it. It takes me time to research articles I write that is why I just post 1-2 a week. Copy and paste brings zero value.

Great initiative. copy paste and stolen images MUST be fought in a daily base, but I just hope you can be a bit flexible there on your approach...
As a photographer, there's probably no one hating stolen content more than I do, but some times I just don't feel like writing at all.
Shooting and editing until you get a ready to post good picture might take days, depending on what you're aiming for with a particular shot.
My point is that it is also wrong to go to someone's post and write what you wrote here:

I would feel very disrespected if that was my post.
That photo is original, not stolen and posted on the right "photography" category/tag.

Photography is a form or artistic expression as any other, and for sure doesn't need any writing on it. On the contrair, if you write too much you are killing the possible interpretation from who ever looks at it for the first time.

Please don't get me wrong here, I think that what you're doing is very positive, just don't turn this into a witch hunt.
Cheers!

That's what happen, when the poster just put up without Text Content.
Should have say something about how it been taken, 100% own work, where it have been taken.

I didn't damaged the reputation, but cut the rewards back a bit.
If they didn't realize and show a bit more work they won't simply get more.

brumest (68) · 7 years ago (edited)

You still downvoted an original image, and someone who brings original content to the platform.
If I post on photography tag I don't have to write anything if I don't want to. That's why it's a photographic category, and not text, travel, poetry or whatever.
It's easy to check if it is an original image or not, there's ways to do that. The easiest is to right click on the picture and "Google search" the image.
Better than downvoting someone who's actually trying to bring original shots to Steemit, just because you don't like pictures without text.
