Copying/Pasting large segments of text without adding anything original is frowned upon by the community (whether you cite the source or not) ..
Some tips to share content and add value:
- Using a few sentences from your source in “quotes.” Use HTML tags or Markdown.
- Linking to your source
- Most importantly, include your own original thoughts and ideas on what you have shared.
Repeated copy/paste posts could be considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the cheetah bot.
If you are actually the original author, please do reply, with supporting evidence, to let us know!
I thought it was a decentralized platform. So you can just take away anybody’s post rewards. Thank you for letting me know before i made any investments in steemit.
Hello,
If you would like to share the information, we recommend content sharing social media such as Twitter or Facebook.
If you would like to just share the information on Steemit, we recommend selecting to reject the payout for the post when submitting it.
Otherwise, the post maybe considered as plagiarism/using someone else's work without their permission for profiteering.
Thank you,
