Yes yes yes YES YES YES. If you scroll through the "new" content on SteemIt, you can see how awfully rampant this really is. I feel like all those people who just fill the SteemIt air with spammy, stolen garbage are totally missing the potential this community has. The strange thing to me, is that when I flag someone, or try to post a comment that what they're doing is wrong, so...so many of them respond angrily. But, at the same time, we've had a couple users (who were new, so if they just looked at what gets posted regularly and followed suit, who can blame them?) start writing their own original articles after we let them know.
Thanks for helping get the word out about how to actually enjoy and get the most out of this platform. @originalworks
