so sad... i can see it now: people disagreeing with new ideas others have, and then down-voting them because of it! this is called censorship. I suddenly feel less happy about steem's future for people who want their ideas heard, with controlled opposition from marketing firms shutting their ideas down... I guess that will at least make my steem holdings more valuable :\

It's not censorship. If you post original content and it gets flagged and taken down...that is censorship. Posting someone elses content....that is called facebook. Posting someone elses content and getting paid for it...that is called stealing.
lol "that is called facebook". true, this guy could always hit the "resteem" button :)
@robertgenito I agree with you
I think the cryptocurrency and the blockchain technologies were created to really give freedom to people but unfortunately people who are enthusiastic and are using these technologies are doing the same things bankers and decision makers did, i.e. making more and more rules just to defend their interests.
I wonder if @allasyummyfood has reported any other plagiarism not related to food or recipes.
Thank you for writing out the rest of the idea for me. If BitShares complained about people "plagiarizing", STEEM wouldn't be here in the first place! Same thing with Litecoin: if the Bitcoin developers complained of "down right plagiarism" (most of which it was), Litecoin wouldn't exist. This is why BitShares and Bitcoin have all WELCOMED sharing--sorry, I mean, "plagiarism" with a touch of dishonesty :)
I can't agree more
the whole idea that blockchain (i.e. the technology that steemit runs on) is based on is freedom and sharing and making things public and not caring about people taking advantage of others work and building something new on top of that work. this how BitShares ans Steemit were created in the first place if not for the ingenuity and generosity of the Bitcoin creator (Satoshi Nakamoto) steemit wouldn't even exist.
you can argue that no one ever did anything by himself, we all do things based on others work and others knowledge but it is so sad that MOST of the people cannot understand this specially the ones who benefit from it the most.
