Weekly public Steemit copycat blacklist report (2018-07-09)

This is my weekly report of my private initiative against semi-professional Steemit copycats.

Here’s a summary of the plagiarized posts I’ve found and the users currently on my public blacklist:

This was in fact a highly successful week. Most importantly, I have been promoted an “abuse fighter” by the steemflagrewards team which gives me more privileges to report abusive content – good news for everyone who wants to have fair reward distribution on Steemit, and bad news for all the plagiarists out there!

Also, it now becomes clear that my mission here is showing first signs of success. Many plagiarists which I have flagged have stopped posting plagiarized content, or have even stopped posting altogether for a few weeks in a row now.

Nevertheless, I have intensified my hunt for plagiarists as I see my mission increase in importance.

This initiative is targeted against networks of semi-professional Steemit copycats who do not contribute their own work, but copy the existing work of others with the sole intention that, by publishing it here on Steemit, they make profits with it, with minimal investment in time and resources of their own.

Copy/pasting content on Steemit is harmful. It unfairly disadvantages original content creators for reward payouts, contributes to Steem currency devaluation by reward inflation, damages the public image of the platform, and diminishes the visibility of all of its content in search engines.
