Plagism on Steemit
On steemit today, plagiarism is constituting serious problems as lots of posts made here are mostly copied works with no citing or referencing of the original owners. It's painful that after putting much effort in creating a post, you get little or nothing for it, then someone copy, edits and posts it here and gets more for it without crediting you. Some people don't even know they are committing plagiarism. I will have to list some of the examples of plagiarism on socail media and steemit
Taking memes and cropping out the creators branding, that is, website, logo, name etc.text source
Copying webpage word for word from someone's social media page and using it as your own without crediting the sources.text source
Taking a quate and conveniently leaving out the original authour.text source
Copying the content of an e-book or course material and using it as your own.text source
Stealing someone's idea and using it as your own.
Not using quotation marks when referring to someone else statement.
These are some of the examples, there are still many others.
