Taking it down is only part of the point. You already received the upvotes. 5 paragraphs of your post were my 5 paragraphs. Compared to 3 sentences or 4 sentences that you wrote. It is not Ok to “write” an article that is 80-90% a quote from someone else and then to pocket the money from it. If you just quoted something tiny, or if your post was far more substantial than my part I probably wouldn’t be so worked up. But as it is @leo.voter, @appreciator and @trafalgar each dropped a $9-$10 upvote on a post that was mostly a copy paste of mine. I am not cool with people get paid for my work.
