With so many that DON'T at lease this guy gives credit where it belongs, which in my opinion is very honest and up front. If it's worth it to someone to check it out well it's all good if you post something not knowing the creator I'd still say source unknown ....guess we shouldn't hate the player ...hate the game. :)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I rebuffed one of his detractors earlier today and couldn't agree more. He DOES ALWAYS give credit to the source material.
Also, and ironically, he is doing a great curation service for Steemians, by choosing the content he does. I in fact appreciate the cull -- although i wind up reading almost everything on Zh anyways...
I say pick your battles, and kearn from the people who are doing it right, if a little less imaginative.
Cheers! from @thedamus
It seems like you feel the same as I do. When it comes to giving proper attribution and linking back to the source of an article outside of steem, why are there bots here that try to cast shame.
Yeah it isnt as if he is trying to pass anything off as his own. He is very open and fully states what he is doing. That disclaimer isnt hidden...it is there for all to see.
Is he operating in a gray area? Without a douby. However, is he really any different than what most do on here on a daily basis?
Yeah, because he added it in the last few days after people started complaining.
While I agree he did start to add it where it previously wasnt, it is hardly in the last few days. I took a quick scroll through his site and went back three months, he had a disclaimer on there.
There is enough to debate about here when dealing with the facts. When you start to make stuff up that is categorically untrue, it negates any validity you are trying to present.
It's been there for about 4 months and source has been cited since day 1.
