Who's the victim here?

Every paid out reward devalues your stake. If they are going towards plagiarism, I can't imagine the value going up soon.

This is just one of many examples people thought a legitimate group is on Steem, but turned out they weren't.

Do you think the group was happy to be on Steem then? Fuck no. Steem is just some shady den of thieves to the outside world.

If you want to enforce "attribution", then the cheetahbot already does that in a polite manner.

That's pointless. Whaleshares did exactly that, even got rid of flags, guess where their token went? Worth almost nothing. People stop creating when they realize posts are just placeholders for votes; hence "account preservation posts".

If you think many of us here have not been observing how different forks of Steem played out, you are sadly mistaken.
