RE: Insights into the Magic of Easter Island

@cheetah was fast to have upvoted you. I also found the photos you used all over the internet. There are no citing or acknowledgment on your blog to indicate that you do not own those photos that you used. I suppose you know that plagiarism is unethical.

Here is a screenshot of the result for Google image search for your first photo.

Thank you so much, awesome catch!! We changed out the photos. We are looking to bring a lot of positive energy, information, and knowledge to the steemit community so we hope you enjoy our uniquely crafted blog pieces! @cheetah is a tool that another steemit expert told us to use, if you have knowledge that is different, please let us know we would love it! Again, really appreciate you taking the time to make a comment - you rock!!

You changed the photos with some things that are still taken from the internet!? What difference does that make? Nothing. It is still plagiarism when you are making the impression that the photos are yours without citing your source.

Here is partial result of the photo search of your first photo. It is all over the internet just like the others.

@cheetah is a robot that automatically detects plagiarized contents on Steemit. It automatically detected your post to be copied from the link it mentioned and just pasted on Steemit. Do not act as if it is a tool that you choose to use because it is not. Authentic bloggers would not actually want to get an upvote or comment from it.

It is either you change the photos to your own shots or you indicate the site where you took them. Do that before anyone downvotes or flags your post.

Ok great, Will get on that! Thanks for clarifying, really appreciate it! :) Steem on!

I do not really have to spell out about @cheetah. You just have to know the ethics behind plagiarism. As a CEO as you claim to be, you should know better.

Thanks for the note, really appreciate you taking the time. The post has been updated with the source. The source is a great tool that some of our steemit friends told us about, just beautiful photos. On another note, I hope you enjoy the blog articles, they are all original hand-crafted pieces of content written with the kind of love put into a fresh-squeezed orange juice (or other fruit if you prefer). Thanks for being an awesome part of the steemit community, it's great to know that other community members are here to remind us how to be the best possible steemit members and contributors we can be. Looking forward to reading some of your pieces. Steem on!

Thanks for updating the post and taking my message as it is intended to be.
