And you could have carried on with your posts, but writing the text yourself and sourcing the copied part. It was your decision not to and stop posting instead.
Then you have to crawl, beg and jump through hoops in the hopes that maybe they'll stop.
As far as I see no other post after was downvoted. What hoops exactly?
That's such a BS rule someone made up.
You mean that if you take text from someone else, you should source it? :)
They teach that in schools. You, as a content creator, should at least be aware of that.
Why don't we all start copying text from the internet, because some people on YouTube do it...
People doing everything right
Even posting 100% original posts
Are getting massively downvoted
For no fucking reason
There just on a”list”
Hive will be Steemit soon if this doesn’t change
A new fork will come
There is always a reason.
Did you ask the person that was downvoting?
Did you research on your own before forming opinion?
So if downvotes didn't exist, it would be better?
How would you protect the reward pool? I am genuinely curious about your opinion.
P.S. Selfvoting all your comments with two accounts is probably not the best thing to do if you want to avoid the downvotes ;)
Yes, I already told you that I could've carried on without copy/pasting descriptions and I already told you why I stopped.
If one entity can shut you down in an instant without warning, then why would you bother building an audience here? At least give them a chance to correct their mistakes before taking everything away.
I was talking about the whitelisting process. I got through it, most people won't bother and just leave. Not very good for keeping people around don't you think?
Why such a condescending attitude? Sure, I agree I should've sourced it and no they don't teach that in schools, at least not here.
You're so off the mark here again trying to paint me as the worst scum of the earth. Making videos and copying some text in the description is common practice. Might not be right, but people accept it since description text is not why people watch videos. Most don't even read them.
I mean, if frigging game companies are fully aware and just fine with channels copy/pasting their game descriptions you wouldn't think that you have to link sources on a blockchain built around the idea of censorship resistance. It just doesn't occur to you.
If it was an article and the core content was text, then it would be a different thing in my eyes.
But yes, I understand sourcing copied text would be legally correct regardless.
Now you have an attitude and trying to victimize yourself by calling yourself scum and criminal. I never called you that.
First of all - some of your rewards were removed. Not from all posts ("taking everything away"). There is no need to exaggerate.
Second - people correct their mistakes and continue. And there is in nothing wrong with that. You got pointed out your mistake and since you got to know that copying someone else's writing is not welcome on Hive, you could continue writing your own text. Or not. It was your call.
Censorship free media doesn't mean you can freely copy other people's work. Please do not confuse those two.
You are also forgetting that you monetize your posts on Hive. YOUR content. Not other's. And curators should know which part of the post is actually yours, and which is not before they decide to vote it.
Glad we agree on that.
