Ok, so not even 24 hours on here as yet, I love the idea of the platform as a whole and look forward to seeing it grow but Wow! So much plagiarism, it's copy and paste city out here?
Seeing articles with huge sections simply lifted from other peoples work! C'mon people... be original, try creating something yourself! Take some photos, talk about them, write an article about yourself or something you enjoy, a hobby or a skill, there must be something interesting to mention without cheating everyone.
I think as a community we should be calling this out as much as possible, it's fairly easy to spot, often these thieves use the images as well! Copy and paste a section to google search and you'll often find the link to the original work!
Stop it!!!
Totally support the call for more original content. But isn't the "flag" button pretty much the same thing as a plagiarism report button - if you think content is clearly plagiarized / not original, you can flag it, right?

Sure, you could... ! Actually, just noticed that one of the options under the flag is plagiarism!
Hopefully people use it, Steemit can't begin its life of a place to make money from other peoples work.
