Ah, I know what you mean now. It is a clone of Steemit, but Steemit used Open Source Code, I learned, when someone asked about it on Weku. Open Source is software which anyone can copy or modify in any way. Steemit doesn’t own the code. It’s generic, and not unique to Steemit. There are websites on the Internet that look almost identical, for the same reason. 😊

MEA CULPA
I know. I could go copy it tomorrow and put up my own site. But would I? Would you? I think it is completely unethical to copy someone else's work. And then be lazy and enough to not even make a few simple changes to make it look like it might be your own. I think it's disgusting and would never support it.

A huge proportion of websites out there are Open Source templates. The code is written by dozens of coders - not one person. I have used Open Source coding for a website design in the past. Using Open Source is not unethical. It’s there to be used, because the coders want you to use it. Lol!
But I think you are right to follow your own instincts about it. I do the same when I feel strongly about something. That’s why I am letting people know if my work is repeated any place else on the web! 😊

I do feel strongly about loyalty, I guess. We all have to do what works for us.
