RE: HolySmoke! .. Steemit is about CREATING !!! siting the source is NOT enough if you didn't CREATE SOMETHING!!!
Exactly, steemit is about creativity and good content :)

The key is good content, curating an outside source, if done with the express permissions granted to the user and done in a way that both parties agree is ok to use.
IE I can just include a link to a youtube video, if the youtube license allows this and the youtube video is played within the browser from youtube thereby granting the original creator youtube money. As per the whitepaper this is doing "work" for the network and curating such content to my followers is providing value that the network rewards me with.
I'm happy with creativity and unique content. I don't really care if someone can string two sentences together as long as it is their own thoughts or comments and not spam. Not everyone will have a creative niche. Part of Steemit is about being social.
