Yes. Plagiarism is one thing, but I don't like it when people suggest policing Steemit to deal with things like what @ats-david is pointing out. There has to be a way to increase trust without killing the free market. I wrote my comment before I refreshed the page and saw yours, so it's redundant. ;)

You did make a good point that people have the right to point out what they see happening.
Of course, it's good to take a look at stuff like this to see if it is abusive.
Of course, and no one prevented it. The system is censorship-resistant, and anyone can post whatever they want. Others can vote as they see fit. The system works and is working, but we can still disagree on whether your method of demonizing people and attempting to label using their use of their SP and their votes as they see fit as 'fraudulent' or 'abuse' is a positive and way forward for the community. I don't believe it is.
If it ends up being plagiarism or other form of abuse (as was the case for @msgivings) then by all means, present the evidence of that. Leave build the attempts to build a case on the basis of guilt by association.
https://steemit.com/whales/@throw-away911/a-funny-interview-with-steemed Only the whales can police the whales. As we can see that they don't care to, it means they no longer care about steemit. If they don't care they will reap whatever rewards they can while they watch it fall.
Interesting point. @throw-away911, is there a solution?
This reminds me of a conversation I just had with someone about politics. The other person was saying that checks and balances are necessary in the world and that countries tend to police each other, and I said that the world's "leaders" are all in cahoots and are draining the rest of us. Lol.
Welp...
Damn. That's what you're saying, isn't it? :/
There is certainly a free market for weeding out bad actors. The critical aspect of this is information and the dissemination of it. I have simply provided that information. It's up to users to decide how to use it in order to "increase trust" on this platform.
