Hi! I am a content-detection robot. This post is to help manual curators; I have NOT flagged you.
Here is similar content:

You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
What does this mean? Should I delete the post because the content can be found somewhere else on the internet?
I know it's on the internet. I stole it directly from StormCloudsGathering's web site and YouTube channel.
Is beforeit'snews part of Steemit?
I'm confused as usual.
to avoid bot condemnation you should have completely rewritten it in your own words. The vigalantes on Sttemit don't like 'share' from the internet. They insist that all content must be original.
It was the transcript of the video. Re-writing it would not have made sense.
Should I not have shared the video?
That isn't true. What they insist on is citation. That's why cheetah bot does not automatically flag the post. It simply detects copy paste. The sources are cited in cheetah's comment so there was no further action taken.
You can rearrange the words to avoid the cheetah bot, but if the citations weren't there it would still be plagiarism.
I can't be plagiarism if it's THE ACTUAL LINK to THE ACTUAL CONTENT. Unless someone SPECIFICALLY TAKES CREDIT by making an OVERT STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP OR CREATION then they are making no claim of ownership, thus, no plagiarism.
Now, if they renamed someone else's content "as though they created it" and then "claimed to have produced it themselves", that's another story, but this doesn't seem to be what's going on here...
