RE: Plagiarism on Steemit. A Look at @jpiper20

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

As the white paper states it:

Eliminating "abuse" is not possible and shouldn't be the goal.

Indeed, but if no one did nothing about it, the platform would drown in scammers, spammers and plagiarizers cashing out like mad ultimately devaluing the platform providing no incentive for anyone to invest but instead to come and join the copy-paste money making circlejerk that would't last long, the aim here is to provide balance in the system, without an incentive that hard work pays out, no one would work and everyone would copy-paste. The aim is to keep the "battle" going on all times, as long as there are good guys fighting the battle the system will remain healthy and well balanced.

Sort:  

I agree with you. The key phrase from the white paper (quoted above) is:

All that is necessary is to ensure that abuse isn't so rampant ...

That is exactly what these community efforts to identify and discourage abuse are doing.

On point.
