Every day, you see the same people post an article, at the same time, in groups with other authors. It might be a film review, always long, always apparently well written. Always upvoted to over $100, even upvoted by myself on occasion.
"How can that be?" You wonder. "How can they have time to watch and write about a film, every day? Without a break. Maybe it's thier full time job now. "
Suspicious isn't it?
I thought so too.
Before I continue, I'm not accusing all authors of this nature of being plagiarists. I simply haven't had time to investigate yet. So let's start with one that I have.
Today, I bring you @lowellum. One such author and the original source of their articles.

These articles haven't been flagged for plagiarism. This is a professional operation taking thousands of dollars out of Steemit every day. One account of many, taking @endingplagiarism all day to unravel - an activity I'm unable to do regularly because the wife's already pissed at me.
Thank you for bringing this serious issue to our attention.
We are investigating how this has happened with the communities concerned.
