Won't highlighting and sharing as post still be seen as plagiarism? I mean steemcleaners and cheetah wouldn't flag it?
I like the idea and I will try it out. Your thoughts on the above is appreciated.

The idea is to improve the adding of references instead of duplicating. We will be adding limits to amount of text you can highlight at once to reduce the usage of tools for just duplicating the content. Over the time we are planning to tap into Brave's database of owners of websites/authors so that a part of the revenues earned can go to the publication and authors as well.
Limits to text could be a good idea. Also, considering the fact that data from multiple pages are used it may not throw up as direct plagiarism. This is in fact the shortcomings of systems here on Steemit than anything.
Also, my point is that when monitizing author begins people will start doing this more and therefore the risk of open plagiarism. Is there any other way? Maybe. I haven't thought about it. Will revert if I have any thoughts around the subject.
Great initiative, though! 😊

@oivas that is good point. That is a tough problem to solve today. Our goal is to reduce the incentives for plagiarism and wherever somebody uses parts from other articles they should have easier tools to attribute it. One of the features that we are working on is automated bibliographies. So when you research for an article from say 10 different blogs we will have an option to share the automated bibliography that readers can go to dig deeper.
We also have plans of identifying that authors for the pages and share revenues with them. But for that the eco system is not yet ready. We are planning to make use of data that brave platform is already collecting. I wish they will be open-sourcing it.
I like the concept @gokulnk. While on Steemit I may not be citing too many sites, I do that on other websites. Imagine the time I would save just by using this idea. I know the concept is not ready outside Steemit (or is it?) but I do look forward to it. 😊

Hey oivas the chrome extension can be used across the web. You can just create a public repository of your highlights and link it in your article so that your readers can read further.
For example checkout the public repo we created for an article https://alpha.app.learningpaths.io/#/highlights/public/5cc18de352f42b7457ef6285?search=&inurl:delta
OK, then let me try out too. Seems a cool solution. I will come back if I have any trouble.
