I think sometimes the temptation of money is in play ... or status ... or being recognized ... Hive can be a hard place to start or continue. I tune out so many people complaining that their work is not seen or rewarded, and if someone really NEEDS both, for whatever reason, but also feels like they can't break through on their own, the temptation to plagiarism will be there. Adversity -- which Hive hands out in the months of steady work it takes to be noticed here sometimes -- reveals weaknesses of character as nothing else does. The only solution is to do the work and get better at it...
