Does that mean that the "spam detection" as you called it is managed by bots? Or do you have people (human beings) reviewing content?
Both.
I think that's a bit more than just using common sense. Copying content from the internet is a clear copyright abuse and would need to be punished in any case. It's not that content like this doesn't "deserve" to be trending, it needs to be removed (here: hidden).
I agree, but that's the job of Steemcleaners. The most we can do at minnowbooster is limit abuse of our services.
I think in a decentralized and self-governed community we're all somehow in charge to limit abuse the best way possible. I'm happy to see you're taking the first steps into that direction.
I absolutely agree! It's why I go spammer-hunting and report to steemcleaners when I have time (which hasn't happened in a while). It's a fun activity I recommend to all minnows looking to make some extra SP and contribute to the community by helping steemcleaners tag scammers and spammers so the bots can flag them.
We all do what we can. <3
