So I've been on Steemit for a few days now and have spent a fair bit of time going through the posts of the so called Whales of Steemit. I know they have lots of followers because they were the early adopters of this platform but the amount of money they're making is insane and that too for posts that just seem to be too long and without any actual content to read.
I've tried to read a few posts of the highest earners of Steemit but just after the top 3-4 lines I always seem to lose interest .To me it seems like they're just copying and pasting paragraphs from some website or blog that they come across. I can't imagine them typing all that content on their laptops or PC's. And since there's no checks in place to stop plagiarism here, I think they're making money using somebody else's work.
What's your thoughts on this?
Do you think Steemit need to address this issue if it wants to compete with Youtube in the future?
