That's the kind of stuff I just ignore. Brainless linking without even writing an opinion about the picture/video should be ignored, unless it's someone's original work.

Yeah, I've tried ignoring it, but there's so much of it now it's hiding the original work that should get noticed. Biggest thing is I don't want to see them get rewarded for it because then it sends the wrong message that it's not only ok, but it's rewarded behavior.
Exactly. This is still a young network, and what we reward now will shape who will join it. If we reward spam, we'll be flooded with it and people looking for quality interaction will eventually look elsewhere.
I guess it's something we have to learn to live with then. But. if you're sure there's plagiarism, you can always downvote (flag) it. I read an excellent post yesterday treating precicely that topic https://steemit.com/steemit/@fortified/plagiarism-some-tips-and-tricks-to-help-stop-it-from-happening
I upvoted/resteemed/followed the author because I liked his content.
And I have. I'm also reporting them to the steem cleaners with proof of where they took the photos from. I love searching for things like this, so it's kinda fun too. :)
Going to take it upon myself to clean up the photography community so that those that deserve the attention can get it without having to fight the photo thieves.
Good job. You just got yourself the 200th follower 😀
Thanks @drakos! :)
Do you think that is the solution or is there anything that we can do as a community to prevent those posts in first place?
I raised the same question in my last article, posted half an hour ago. Because I am just realising how much spam
Excellent. We need more people like you. Your comment enticed me to follow you. Thankd
