Just imagine if it came out that it wasn't me writing the 4800 posts I have added to this blockchain so far and all the times I was talking about "my consistency" I was just consistently paying instead - would you feel cheated?
This will be really heartbreaking especially to those ones who have grown to look up to you.
I have seen lots of new accounts plagiarize, at first I consider it a mistake because I don’t blame them for not knowing how worthy Hive is. But after the third time I kinda lose interest in trying to explain why they shouldn’t. This means they are not serious in contributing to the blockchain. Most times this people see blogging on Hive as an easy money medium, the simplicity and easiness is over emphasized so they overlook it and plagiarize. But this is for the case of newbies, as for oldies on Hive, I can’t say the same
It would be pretty bad. I wonder what all the people I have met in real life would say :D
Quite a few accounts no what they are doing. They plagiarize to attract some big votes. when caught, they make a new account and try again. It is a numbers game for them.
