Because I know how to give credit where credit is due... I borrowed the image from the internet for my meme, so here is the link for where I obtained the photo: https://www.google.com/search?q=caribbean&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjq7ffKhb_YAhVF2WMKHcPnBQQQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1366&bih=662#imgrc=6tCSucrnrX0e8M:
Be original! You like that Meme though? I've been on here less than a month and I'm not having issues getting upvotes with my own content. Maybe you should try that too. I even made that Meme by myself lol.
well said :) completely agreed
Thanks! I couldn't help myself.
i completely agree see to much of it people taking other peoples work these days :) gave you a follow x
Thanks for the follow! I followed you too! :)
Just yesterday I unfollowed someone, for I think all pictures he post here are not his own. He didn't mention any source of it. And he keeps flooding my newsfeed here hehehe
It is kind of annoying when they flood your newsfeed with one photo that looks borrowed from the internet (over and over again) and they might have 1 full sentence to go with it, but usually a sentence fragment lol.
LOL you noticed that too!
Absolutely! My friends say I notice everything!
I agree. Be original and unique 😀
Absolutely! I appreciate posts that are original better. Even if it is a grainy picture. It may not be as great as a professional photo off of the internet, but it is something, and it is something they could call their own.
I laughed at this. Being on Steemit for nearly 2 years I've seen my fair share of plagiarism
I know... my smart mouth comes out in my blogging sometimes lol. I enjoy laughing, and not everyone gets or likes my sense of humor. I'm glad it made you laugh.
Haha it did. Thanks :)
You're welcome!
Nice one! You are right, there are a lot of tryhards like that. I don't think they can go far with copying content though. Keep being original and have a great day 🙂
Thanks! I agree, they probably won't get too far, but I keep seeing that some people buy votes? So maybe if they go that route. I try to keep it OG every day lol. Have a great day also!
And yeah, the meme is funny 😂👍
I am only a few days active on steemit and have been wondering here and there about the originality of some content.
You're not alone! Welcome to Steemit though! I hope you have a lot of success on this site. :)
Thank you, I have to say I feel very welcome. I wish you succes too. If I may ask can you give me some clues how to recognise this phenomenon?
I really cannot prove anyone's photo is copied, but I notice when people post photos of landscapes that are really high quality, but don't have much content to say about the photo. I also notice when people post different photos like they are making one post, but the photos do not even look like they match the same area. It just makes me a little suspicious.
Yes, I see what you mean. I agree it is wrong to use a photo somebody else made as your own. It is not something that magically appears on the internet, there has been effort and a lot of work.
Agreed! I try to give credit when I borrow something from the internet.
