Trust me, plenty more.

Why we need to do something about it?

Plagiarism is theft.

Duplicate content can cause penalties from Google, especially if it happens extensively.

We don't want fraudsters to make money using content that was written and is owned by someone else, without crediting the original source.

It's just wrong thing to do.

Identity thefts

Tip of the iceberg ...

Total earnings: $1318,99

Why we need to do something about it?



The major problem here is people have valued introductions over real content for example: I have read yesterday the quick introduction of a girl having a blast in vegas showing a verified picture of her ( could really well be another photoshoped steem picture) In this picture she has a crack of boobs out and she ended earning 1500$ so far.
