I didn't see these charges. But I know this was a thorn in the side of a lot of people on Steemit, with a bot that thought, I agree to have the plagiarism check. Since many people would use this to their advantage.
But, everything has to be seen calmly and really analyzed, without judging too quickly.
If POB helped you so much, if you grew so much here. Do not give up. Do not stop.
Go ahead, create new content. Make content from scratch if necessary. But don't stop. The fact of stopping is accepting defeat and in life, we know that it will always put us like that.
The issue of plagiarism is complex, I think everyone at some point has needed help from google or anywhere else. I made a mistake, but they also did it because their sources were not correct and the other issue is the one that worries me the most, due to the fact that they will ban me votes for thinking that I have another account and that is what makes me think if it will be worth it. worth staying or not. Create new and clean content as you say, but will I receive anything? or I will just continue to be blacklisted. They are rules that do not explain well and cause a lot of doubt. Thank you for your words, you are a great Author.
Well, that depends...
Making queries on google is never wrong. Read, study and assemble the text.
The problem is to copy excerpts exactly the same as what was written.
Now, writing about the same subject but in your words is not plagiarism. Since they are works being done and written from each one's point of view and words.
And in this case, whenever you copy something from the internet exactly like some excerpt, always use a quota using > in front of the text.
And as for starting from scratch.. Keep going, new people and friends will always emerge
