Opinion 2
I want to see original, thoughtful content on SteemIt. Thoughtful articles take more time, so only content creators should be financially rewarded.

Upvoted. This sort of thing needs to be shut down distinctly before it becomes a thing. You can use external sources, of course, but you must add something. Otherwise it's digital bootlegging that discourages actual new content. In other words, if I see someone simply reposting something from somewhere else and making coin... what incentive do I have to make original content?
I voted Op2 because "the issue is that news sans commentary takes seconds to post and well-researched articles take hours. If 'articles' such as this are accepted, over a long enough period of time these kinds of posts will outnumber think pieces, art, stories, and the like... because it's 'easy money.'"
