Cheetah is a bot on steemit that points out duplicated or copied posts. It is bot introduced to the platform to stop or limit plagiarism.‎

‎I know that feeling when you take so much of your time in writing a post and at the end of the day, it doesn't get any upvote or comment and as a result, it gradually kills the passion we have in our respective fields, the trust and we might be tempted to copy the posts of others from the net and then publish it here without the authors permission because we wanna avoid the time-taken in thinking, composing or writing a post. Believe me I know that Feeling!!!

Some Facts To Take Note Of

  • Do you know that when "cheetah" comments on your post it might lead to reduction in reputation?

  • Do you know that a post with "cheetah" in its comment section hardly get any upvote? or even comment? So why even plagiarise at the first place?

  • Do you know that you can never! I repeat never! earn much on posts with "cheetah" present in it.

  • Do you know that steemit value original contents.

Some Tips

Just Try Your Best In Avoiding Cheetah Commenting On Your Post Because It Could Damage Your Reputation

Done sir! @maovader888

Great tips, thanks for sharing @princeemmanuel

You are welcome. @cedo

Yes
I'm agree with you we should read it out.

Yeah.. @zayarch

I tend to post about news a lot. But I properly link to the original article & post only snippets/teasers (& then usually comment on the article). Even though the snippets are usually very small (a few sentences, maybe a paragraph) I get these cheetah bot responses.

Couldn't they program it in a way that differentiates between actual plagiarism & properly sourced snippets (which is supposed to lead people to read the original)?

I won't stop doing it, anyway, since I don't see why I should re-invent the wheel (i.e. rewrite a news article). Earning isn't everything.
But I'm a bit irked when I see people get upvoted by @originalworks when they simply copied a complete article.

The @OriginalWorks bot has determined this post by @princeemmanuel to be original material and upvoted it!
