RE: The HumanBot Curator Incubator & Link Drop v2.0.1

1. This is a pretty neat article about what anthropology is and why it is paramount to the human culture. It subtly touches upon the definition of civilization and praises what the author finds to be the greatest human (as opposed to the non-human or natural) invention existing in this world: the culture.
2. The post created by @nahidminhaz about unhealthy products people often consume with no awareness of their potential negative impact on their appearance is an article outside of the spectrum of my interests, however I find it to be exceptionally well-written due to its thorough approach to the subject. Rarely do I encounter such greatly undervalued articles, thus I thought it requires a mention.

Just looked at #1 first - this is copy/pasted. It isn't the worst sort of plagiarism because the author did link to the Indonesian wikipedia source at the bottom, but even providing a source when all you have done is use Google Translate to translate the Indonesian language version of a Wikipedia article and pasted it in here is still not cool. Adding an intro paragraph doesn't make it original.

There are a few clues here that this was copy/pasted - I was nearly 100% certain it had been before I even got to the bottom of the post and saw the link the author left. Check out all the strange line breaks that would never have occurred if someone was typing this on Steemit or typing in a word processor (marked with pink "x"). No one hits a hard return in the middle of typing a sentence. This sort of thing only occurs when copy/pasting from websites.

Okay I checked out #2. Would definitely not agree it is exceptionally well-written. This appears to be a badly garbled auto-translated article. As far as Curie goes, some degree of leeway can be made for a poster who speaks English as a second language, but this is beyond that sort of misuse of language. I want you to take a look at this passage from the post you linked:

Extra marmalade fish (in case of marine fish)

It is often seen that many people complain of their thin hair and bad nails. This problem is especially seen in coastal people. The reason is that excess berry eat more than fish. This fish increases hair fall. In this case, however, it is to be noted that the amount of parrot in Japan's very popular fish 'sui' is much higher than normal. Among the marine fish, there is a large amount of parrot in the sword fish etc. These fish are less likely to eat because of this poisoning.

First - what the heck? Extra marmalade fish? Too much "parrot" in fish? TI would bet a large sum that this is an auto-translate software choosing the wrong words.

Second - compare that to this passage from the poster's #introduceyourself post:

My name is Nahid Minhaz .I'm 22. I’m new to Steemit but am already amazed by the stories you all share here. I thought it was a platform for the block chain fans where entrepreneurs and PR managers share news about their companies trying to hit awareness for their ICOs . Glad I was wrong! I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.

It is extremely obvious that the author of that introduce yourself did not author the article you linked.
