Thanks for the mention and the % beneficiary @steevc!

It's a bit scary about the story of the content someone paid for that turned out to be plagiarised. From the post it seemed like he did some pretty reasonable checks but it still turned out to be copied. I can't imagine paying someone to write content, though I can imagine for some bigger projects it isn't so unreasonable to do and I know some of those have teams of people that work on content and curation. That being said I guess then it's obvious it's a project account rather than an individual.

Really looking forward to Hive Fest and I'll have an announcement about how people can contribute to the electronic music I'll be making for it very soon...

Have a great weekend!

There are lots of trust issues around sharing an account. I think lessons were learned in this case.

I'm counting the days until HF. I will probably bring an instrument of some sort.

Not long to go - that would be cool if you bring an instrument!

The biggest problem is the said user doesn't see paying someone to write articles for him being an issue. The post title is no different from me saying "Thank you to the NHS for your hard work". He totally neglects the fundamental problem as if it has nothing to do with him.

With all the excuses and how he went into all the trouble of checking everything, is he honestly expecting people to be grateful to him for being so diligent and bringing traffic to Hive with his plagiarised content? Coz it seems like he's succeeded. Never mind the fact that he's paying people to write his post.

Apologies if I sound harsh, but it's these people who's been around for so long and think they can get away with anything that kills Hive.

Anyway, rant over. Have a great weekend!! 🙂
