Mary, I totally understand you. Once, decades ago, I was irritated in about the same way just once, when I found my russian translation of a huge article (the job took 5-6 weeks of my lifetime!) was republished to other site without giving a fuck, milking all the gratitude. just one case! and having this multiplied for year? I cant imagine the size of your frustration.
the only good thing in this mess, I guess, is that you dont feel alone crying in a desert, but a lot of folks will stand in your corner of a ring.
So this has happened to you too. This is why you understand me so well. I was frustrated, sad and upset at first. After a short while I calmed down and realized that in the end the scammer will be exposed and their posts will not receive rewards. They have earned quite a few money pretending to be me for a year but I am sure that the Universe will take care of those profits.
I have seen now how united Hive members can be and how there will be people behind me. I am so grateful and it felt so soothing to have a community stand behind you. I thank everybody and I am feeling better already. It is not worth it to waste our energy thinking about their injustice, what is done is done.
Have a great day🤗
a warm thank you back.
and yeah, Universe has such a quality.
