RE: Moving to hive
Rewarding $2 to someone who stole an image...sure, I can live with that. But, rewarding someone $40+ for that is absolutely fucking ridiculous.
There are VERY FEW memes that deserve anything near $40, if I had the time to do a reverse image search on all of them to pull numbers I would, but I've seen enough to know it's a problem.
Well, I think that's fair. I'm sure they could stand to tighten up their requirements more than they already have.
Or, not give out ridiculous rewards to unverified content. Especially when an original meme takes about 1 minute to create.
Yes, they could take 1 minute to create them. But very often, people don't know how to create a proper meme. For example ...
Hide the Pain Harold:
This is incorrect. Harold would never use dmania.
My point is, if we eliminate a bunch of plagiarism memes, we'll end up instantly replacing them with incorrectly applied memes. Maybe you'd be ok with that, though.
I'm ok being a little lose with copy/paste memes at the moment if original authors start moving over to dmania and things get progressively more strict over time.
I guess @masteryoda was a little ahead of his time.
I do share your concerns!
Making original content should be a clearly given criteria for posting on any Steem-app. The problem with dmania in particular is that the whole idea of a meme community is making and reposting memes.
While there is stolen content on Steemit as well, Steemit is a bank of knowledge which on a daily basis educates its users about what's okay and what's not okay. Dmania is basically just pictures.
But then again, maybe I shouldn't complain and start making memes instead;)
yo @berniesanders I totally and completely love how you are justice seeker here on steemit. I first found out about you with the haejin garbage, and you changed my mind about that fraudster. I must say though, while I respect what you do, on a side note - the real Bernie Sanders is a total fuckin' kook with no brain. LOL had to.
My memes never got paid that much!!! Here is a collection of them I made myself.
lol
Right mr. @berniesanders, who is rewarding plagiarizers and thieves.am appreciate on your post.
