This content is copy/pasted off another website without a significant contribution of original content.
Copy/pasting content without consent of the original creator is potentially illegal. Moreover, posting it on Steemit with the intention to make money of it is highly unethical.
Repeated copy/pasting, plagiarism or tag abuse is considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community and may result in action from steemcleaners or other users. (based on a quote from steemcleaners)
On Steemit, you get paid for creating valuable original content, i.e. your own work, not for copying the existing work of others. This is the very essence of what keeps the Steemit economy strong and keeps the Steem currencies from devaluation by inflation. By posting copy/pasted content, you are contributing to the destruction of the very basis of the Steemit economy.
- I have reported you to steemcleaners.
- If you continue to post copy/pasted content, I will report you to steemcleaners again, I will flag you, and expose your behavior to other users.
If you feel like this warning is in error, please respond with proof that you are the original creator of this content or an explanation as to why your post represents a significant contribution of your own original content over the original work and proof that you are allowed to use the original work.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate that you acknowledge you made a mistake.
Please understand this: Steemit is exclusively for creating original content. This is what you get paid for. If you want to promote other people’s work like online articles, news letters, or YouTube videos, there are other platforms to do this, for instance, Twitter or Tumblr.
It is true that on these platforms, you do not directly make money with your posts, but if it is really your only intention to inform other users, as you say, this should be no problem for you.
To show that you understood these rules, and to minimize the damage you have done, please:
Note that from a legal point of view, even if you state all your sources, if you copy/paste content without consent of the original author, you may still be committing an international copyright infringement.
Concerning your comment:
If you continue to post copy/pasted content, I and other users will report you to steemcleaners again, and will flag you, even if you state your sources in your posts.
It does not matter if you excuse or “explain” your behavior. You must correct your error, and never do it again.
hi.please deactivate my account.thanks.
Thank you. I noticed you have deleted the content in question. You have done the right thing! 👍
I will keep an eye on your account, though. If you start to use Steemit again to republish the work of others, I will report you again.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you are unsure what kind of content is accepted on Steemit and what isn’t. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Steemit is a friendly community. You can also ask the guys at steemcleaners. They have a chat server on Discord.
P.S. You can even make money by reporting “bad” posts to steemcleaners yourself! Currently you can make about $1 per report IF you can show where a post was copied from (the original website). Learn more here
