It's crazy, honestly crazy. The Chinese is without doubt the hardest, especially when translating into English. Catching this one was one of the hardest - https://steemit.com/hive-108572/@endingplagiarism/the-professionals-lowellum

Unfortunately, there are many, many more translating Chinese, Bengali, Hindi and Russian into English and each one takes hours and hours to decifer.

There was one who I caught because he deleted a sentence along the lines of "available now on Netflix Russia". If it had been left in, I wouldn't have figured it out. When I saw it had been deleted, I had to know why and it allowed me to decipher that user and the other 3 linked accounts (at $30+ per post). Unfortunately, I've discovered they're all at it again. I've flagged one post from each user but I'm literally powerless to stop them.

The list of users for your interest.

Every articles is originally from a Russian source.

I strongly believe that these users should be removed from the platform. They consume an unfair amount of time and are taking over $1,000 per week away from the community.

Today's is worse now that I've discovered my Russian consortium is back in business.

It's never ending and relentless. I'm hopeful that the work I'm doing with steemchiller will make us more effective as there are users within the community who depend upon what we're doing. This is one such outcome that I'm particularly proud of -

There are many occassions when I look at the steemcurator upvote and despite it, question whether what we're doing is worth the effort. I'd earn more working in a shop. But when cases like the above arise and somebody feels helpless, it makes me feel good that I can do something about it.

I hope this goes some way to explaining why both kiwi-crypto and I get defensive when our methods are questioned. We do so much that goes unseen and we have developed methods and processes to introduce as much fairness as we can for those that are either ignorant or have made an honest mistake. Most understand and learn. Too many don't.
