Link sharing is not considered plagiarism.
If someone said "here is a video that I created" (when it was not their own) then that would be plagiarism. That should get flagged.
There is a very valid conversation to be had as to what value "link sharing" (when it is not the author's original content) adds to the platform. While it is not a form of abuse, whether we want to reward it is questionable. There are valid views on both sides of this argument. There is also the very important question to be had as to whether or not that is "fair" to the original poster of the content, when someone else is getting paid for 'sharing' their content.
Tim, Steemcleaners flags a lot of material that the posters never claimed is theirs, the same as these videos, for example a Chinese legend I commented on, they said I had to source it, how the hell do I source a legend, it's author is lost ages ago, so apart from everything they aren't even smart,we know a lot of articles are posted by people we know are not the authors, so where is the difference with the videos, ?
And I'll tell you something everybody infringes or plagiarizes here, for example my favorite author here is @lordvader and he is plagiarizing Darth Vader's personna, so shouldn't Steemcleaners be after him too? Would that not be silly? Yet it would be necessary for them to do it or else they are just screwing people they want to screw.
Which is why I say Steemcleaners and all of these bots have to go, or else this platform won't lift of.
Please refresh yourself with the definition of plagiarism.
There is a difference between artistic satire (allowed), content sharing with links cited (allowed) and publishing material that can be found elsewhere on the internet with no links cited (not allowed)
I don't know the specifics of your particular dispute, but it could be something to discuss with @anyx or @pfunk if you feel it shouldn't need to be cited.
In general though, the SteemCleaners service and @cheetah bot are protecting the community's reward pool from going to authors that would in most cases be illegitimately profiting off of others work.
Well that's your view, it certainly isn't mine. But going back to your original answer, do you really think it's fair that a great post be downvoted so a few mediocre posters can get more money? I'm including myself in the mediocre posters, I don't think I deserve money that rightfully belongs to a great writer.
