RE: Why I Support Zer0hedge Even Though He Steals Content And Is A Plagiarist!!!! Or Does He????

in #steemit7 years ago

This is one of the central aspects regarding @zer0hedge

  • use of the official ZH logo
  • user name is ZEROHEDGE

This is very misleading.

As an example, if I want to donate to a charity, like say GreenPeace or World Wildlife Fund and I see an account here with the name and logo of GreenPeace and it links to the official site... there's a very good chance that I may think I'm making a donation to the real organization.

Good point

Where is steemcleaners? I've been "cleaned" fo so much less...
I knew this guy for months and was amazed than nobody said anything !

I can agree with this 100%....the name is very misleading and obviously meant to benefit from the reputation Zerohedge created.

He would be on much safer ground if he posted under a generic name...at least then he couldnt be accused of trying to fool people into thinking he is the original or related to them.
