Yes there is. When you don't cite the source it is plagiarism. You are trying to profit off the work of someone else. When you cite the source but copy the entire article it is an SEO and spam issue. When you copy part of the article, cite the source, but do not add your thoughts and comments it is a spam issue.
Just how many times does steemit need the same article copied & pasted? I don't remember the article but I found one that was copied and pasted by more than 10 different users. None of them adding anything original to it. It's spam.
Part of social media is being social and sharing your thoughts and opinions.
