These Writers Are Shamelessly Plagiarising!
How is Medium letting these brats keep on publishing?
I recently went to a fellow writer’s profile and checked out some of his articles. They were all pretty long and informative, each 8–12 minute reads.
That’s when I started to feel like something was off:
- The paragraphs were long
- There was no personality at all
So I copied the title of the article into Google Search and found a blog post that was exactly the same as what this writer published. I double-checked the rest of his articles.
They were all plagiarised from various blogs.
The writer had copied his entire article from somebody else’s work, and was getting comments and claps for it! That’s outrageous.
I don’t want to call out the exact writer, so I’ll leave him anonymous. But what enrages me is that he has hundreds of followers and lots of engagement on these articles.
Yet Medium does nothing about it.
They ban good accounts and mistake them for spam. Yet these brats go free?
Medium is going downhill. At this rate, every moron who knows how to copy-paste stuff from the internet will be making big bucks on this platform. It’s unacceptable.
I don’t think this is the only writer who is plagiarising.
I’m just frustrated that Medium doesn’t seem to do anything about this. And these writers are getting engagement, and no doubt MONEY from copying other people who probably spent hours writing these articles.
What do you think about this situation?
