Yes, it's another day and more revelations are at hand. But, this one would have likely gone under the radar because it's just been nibbling away at the rewards pool, several times a day.
Yes, @movietrailers today you are my featured guest.
Now I don't really know what constitutes great content around here, because I see all sorts of shit posts getting through, even though we, the Steemit Community, are supposed to be the gate keepers by curating good content. However, it appears we forget we are supposed to flag bad content too.
Now this rarely happens unless you're really pushing the Steemit boundaries.
So what's the problem with @MovieTrailers?
Well it's another cut and paste heist.
Yep, find a trailer in YouTube, copy the link, paste into Steemit then add a title and some copyright info and you're done.
Then Rinse and Repeat a few times a day.
And before you know it, your making a little cream each day for less than 5 minutes work.
But who owns @movietrailers?
Well each day the top voter is an established Steemian with a rep score of (70) so this content must be good right?
But when you dig deeper it seems there is a relationship between @movietrailers and @contentjunkie which was established as the creation of this account.
Multi-account?
I'm not entirely sure, but I'm sure @movietrailers appreciates the multiple upvoting per day. Truly, @contentjunkie is a Super Fan of this content.
So what's the crime here?
Skimming the Steemit rewards pool or the fact that High Reputation Steemians really don't give a shit what's happening around here.
At the very least, copy and paste crimes need to be seriously addressed on this platform.
But until then, use this Tag: #fight4steem whenever you see something that breaks the spirit of this community and BuzzSteem might just give you a shout out in the 'Daily Buzz'

Update: The account looks to have already been tipped off because another 5 minutes worth of effort has now been included in each post. Now we also get a copy and pasted synopsis. Woohoo!
