good catch. upvoted for your diligence and calling out the con.
I think you should check this out

she's doing damage limitation, trying to save face. or her money making venture on steemit would be over.
she only edited the original post (which was all well presented with pictures etc to make as much $ as possibke) when she saw the downvotes coming in and eating away all the 400 (look at the 11 downvotes and scroll down to see the post that exposed her and which got me and others to downvote her)

She is not an identity theft, here is a picture of her. But she did plagiarism from Reddit but it was just for testing, I dont think that she is that dumb and uncreative
who said identity theft? it was plagiarism of content.
what I meant is that her post was all well prsented to make money (well formatted, pictures etc). wasn't a test. "it's a test" was edited in later
Who on Earth Flagged you??
Here it is: https://steemit.com/steemit/@positive/neutrality-whales-incentivizing-rape-fiction
A post is coming that I planned yesterday
You must read a lot to be able to catch a similar story copied from the internet. But good on you! Copying stories and faking identities takes away from the whole experience that is Steemit
Here's the most amazing thing though... How does the typical "I was raped" story suddenly get more valuable and worth everyone's upvote when it IS actually real, compared to when it's convincingly faked?
What actually changes about the value of that content? That's what I'd like you to think over.
Why can't we gloss over those posts and say "you were raped, so now what?" in cold blood and gotta instantly get protective of these women, smashing the upvote button for something that really doesn't contribute anything to Steemit.
Let's assume it's true - ok, she got raped. Maybe she can go talk to a therapist, work it out. She is not a fucking hero of anything just because bad things happened to her in life, and we are absolute idiots for upvoting or tolerating that stuff. It's literally preying on the primal male instinct to protect females in the group, in order to leverage the resulting social capital and turn it into steem dollars.
I agree. It's just life. And life is not fair or easy peasy most of the time. But we don't get any medals for just living. It's life.
No, you don't have to read so much. You just google it. Because these con artist are dumb: they don't use a material for inspiration, motivation, etc. They just copy/paste. Lame, unfair and unethical. And bloody stupid. But $$$ !!!
Google doesn't always work.. The artists are getting more clever.
I hear you.
