Undoubtedly a big factor in your success. I've enjoyed reading your observations and this is no exception. I think a lot of the guppies, minnows and dolphins can take away from this something(s) that is/are sure to help them navigate the waters of this new ocean called Steemit.
I 'll have to add your Bullshit Investors Club novel to my feed for easier consumption...as I will this one.

Thank you. Nothing grates on my nerves worse than a copycat.
Well imitation...they say...is the best form of flattery but still there is variation on a theme/medium/observation...and then there's theft. I expect you speak to the latter of those two. ;-)
Well, theft is bad, but if all you can do is imitate others, there ought to be a way to permanently label your account so people know that. Not suggesting we take anything away, a vote is a vote, but voters be warned.
I'm a bit lost on what you mean by "permanently label". Are you speaking of branding?
I'm saying, there ought to be a way to warn voters of an account that is consistently plagiarist, whether direct copying, or just rewriting every word someone else is sharing.
Thanks for the clarification...and I wholeheartedly agree!
Thanks for the comment, glad it helped.
