Is it Acceptable to Post other People’s Content on Steemit?

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I suppose its wrong to take people's written content as your own but as far as videos on youtube and pics from google i say fair game considering the original web address of said vid or pic is readily available so anyone can track it back to it's creator.

Great! Thanks!

But it is proper etiquette to inform the viewer that it is not your original work. You can add context to it, if you agree or disagree. If you see a lot of people doing something you think is wrong and disagree with, that is not an invitation to join them.

You are right. My first day here I got into a rally of posting whatever and wasn't thinking about ethics, all I had in my mind was $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Luckily I quickly saw what was happening and made a 180 degree change in my approach. That is why I am being so thoughtful about all this now.
