Is there somewhere where we can see what is considered plagiarized?

I'm tired of seeing copy/pastes of news articles and the like. Is this considered plagiarism? When a person copies an article they did not write from a news site to share it here? Or is it like sharing an article because you like it?

I thought it was the former. I flag content that is simply copy and pasted from various websites without any credit to the original author, or additional content being added, etc. So then you have these people that are trying to make money off of other people's content following you around and flagging your posts.

Not sure what the solution is, but I don't spend a ton of time on this site because it's basically a bunch of fake people spamming content they found elsewhere to try and make a quick buck.

First time I heard of @cheetah and I think it's cool. I hope that we can see Steem get a bit cleaner and more original. I was under the impression that was the goal. To reward people for original content.
