To support original content, I have started writing something humorous.
Not sure how well it will be received
Apart from that, I do reuse lots of animations - which are, unfortunately, not cited as there exists no original source.
Definitely supporting this idea! :)
Hmmm, maybe use a "not sure who made this, but it's my five-finger discount to you, my loyal Steemers!"
I had the idea for this post after clicking on a story from a fellow Steemian who had taken the first two paragraphs of an article and dropped them in as what would appear to be his own words. I only knew this because when I followed the link he had provided, it took me to the original article.
In doing a little research, I found that plagiarism is a huge issue on social media (surprise, surprise). I'm not sure how you would protect your original humor pieces, but a virtual shotgun or guard dog might be in order. :D
I have been in online marketing for almost 10 years now. While Google has some good policies to reduce plagiarism, Steemit is a different platform altogether.
Plagiarism will hurt its ranking, or so I thought. However, with fresh content pumped regularly here, Steemit is slowly gaining a strong hold in search ranking.
Although it has become a platform to shitpost almost anything as users are rewarded, I feel people will eventually get bored out of it and move on when the rewards are diluted.
And if we do the moon? Well, then, this place needs to be reorganized and new policies (can we even implement them) needs to be put forth.
