When I look at the messages on steemit the main criterion for selecting good posts is uniqueness.
If you take someone else's text - I will not support your message.
If you take someone else's photo - I also will not support you.
It's easy and long time you can check using Google image search.
If you are too lazy to spend 5 minutes writing a unique text - I will also be too lazy to vote for him. What for? It just clogs the project and does not do any good to the reader. (Except loss of time)
Just a turtle swimming nearby :)
