more from that month
Kawatan on the Move My yesterday was supposed to be a mundane one but it all changed as the evening came because I read a comment from madam @Ruffa about my articles here on readcash plagiarized by a user with the handle name @merilie on Hive. https://peakd.com/@merilie It was not the first time that my articles here on readcash has been plagiarized, it's over a year ago when someone made an account copying even my profile photo here and posted it there on Hive. That user was not caught until @bmjc98 had shared about these stolen articles which earned a lot! Check out the article here: Someone Stole My AxieBCH-Related Articles And Made Money On Hive https://read.cash/@bmjc98/someone-stole-my-axiebch-related-articles-and-made-money-on-hive-9a2635fa
So, yesterday, I checked the article which Ruffa sent me and I found the user had not stolen just one article but she copied six! The introduction was even copied from another user here on readcash who's also on Hive @charmingcherry08 . From there, I noticed comments from TP tagging me about verifying if the photos are mine. He is familiar with Matti and so when he saw one of the images bearing Matti's face, he knew right then and there that this is a stolen article. I am glad that he was quick to share the links to the Hiveph community's discord channel and since a lot of our readcash friends are also on Hive, they confirmed that those are really stolen articles. Thanks a lot to Cindee and Wittyzel for such quick actions and on the same night, they spread the information to a lot of other users to help downvote the account. Downvoting was perhaps an act that I didn't imagine doing until last night. I downvoted the user's articles, all of them. My friend @caryl also did her own way of helping out and messaged our friends from different groups about helping out with the downvotes. Just before the user could receive a payout, the account had been flagged and now has a reputation of -3 with all of the articles getting zero earnings. The articles are also muted.
Could the Thief Be A Filipino ReadCash User? There's a huge possibility that the person who did this is indeed a Filipino because his/her comments include grammatically correct Tagalog sentences.
Perhaps this person is lurking here to steal more articles! I don't know how we can avoid this but I hope if that person is reading this now, I hope you learn your lesson now and not do this again. This happening plus the blackout here in our place was adding up to my stress level. Anyway, as a content writer, I know that plagiarism is rampant in the online realm, these posers are desperate but we all know this act is not okay, it is not good and sooner or later, it will be caught. Next Steps I used to add watermarks on my images sooner, but I got tired of doing so with the recent stealing, I am now thinking of putting my watermarks again. This will be tedious for sure. How about you guys? Do you think it is worth it to put watermarks on our pictures? Thanks for reading this article!

Hala grabe. Kapwa Filipino pa talaga ma'am jean. Di man lang niya naisip na mali yung ginagawa niya. Di siya natakot kung ano magiging consequences.
kaya nga sis eh
Oo ma'am jean. Grabe walang takot.
Luhh bakit nya kaya nagawa yun? sya pala yung pinag uusapan nila sa discord nung isang gabi. Sana naman di na maulit. Ako sis di rin mahilig maglagay ng watermarks sa picture. Paano ba yan gawin?
need kasi ng another app para gawin yan nakaka ubos din ng oras maglagay ng watermark eh...
Ay may Ganon pala, ang lala naman, grabe paano Nila maatim na kumuha ng article ng iba, kapwa Pilipino pa natin talaga. Mabuti naman at nakita mo agad Yan sis.
uu nga sis mabuti nga at nahuli agad before sya makapera
Yes, watermarks will surely help un lang kung pati un iedit pa nung mangongopya. Ang hirap kaya magisip at magsulat ng article tas kokopyahin lang ng iba.
tama sir. madami na ding biktima neto.. kahit sa hive at piinost sa blurt.. hayz..
Kainis lang e.
glad it was caought right ther and then sis, kahit mag water makr kapa may way parin silang nakawinang articles mo.. I wanted to watermark my pic pero dili man automatic as akong phone uy. But how do you plan on putting watermark on them sis? I guess it's laborious and time consuming. at least that's what I experienced on editing with my phone
time consuming jd sis mao wala nako mag watermark... but naay automation but then only for those photos na gina post process on some application... but if phone pictures, kapoy uy hehe
Oo sis kabantay ko sa Liketu but lagging on my phone. Wala diay watermark sa imong phone sis?
Napaka tamad gusto easy money. Gusto ko din sana idownvote sa hive kaso wala pa ko resources eh. Ako din naglalagay dati ng watermarks sa pictures kaso tinamad ako at dagdag sa oras sa pagddraft kasi. Mas mainam na maglagay na lang ulit
totoo momsh dagdag oras talaga.. kaya di na ako naglalagay
May ganun pla. Pati pla dito my kawatan 😔
uu marami sis ung iba nga hindi nahuli
Oh my God it is so annoying and surely a nightmare for a content creator. I take hours to write my articles and there would really be hell on earth if my articles get stolen. I am quite lazy with watermarking my photos as scrolling in my gallery of thousands to find them is even taking forever already. Now I am a bit paranoid.
it made me paranoid too sis.. hayz..
For aure kakilala lang din natin to dito. Baka nga nakakasalamuha pa natin ee till now 😤 mga walangya, di baga gumawa ng sarili nila at talahang nagnanakaw pa tsk.
> a, di baga gumawa ng sarili nil true madam.. hayz.. sana naman mataohan na yan
Be ingat ikaw, sikat pa man din ikaw na user dito huhu. Buti na lang may mga watchers din tayo no?
Hahaha awan lang if may makuha silang topic sakin na worth e share BWAHAHAHA alam mo naman arti ko punong ouno ng kalokohan kaya walang mag tatangka ahahahaha. Pero yeah, maigi pa rin mag ingat tayo naku lang talaga
Nako di natin sure be sila ate nga nakuhaan ihh
Base pa lang sa reply ate halatang pinoy na, juskolord di marunong gumawa ng content nakaka hiya puro pagnanakaw lang ginagawa, sino kaya yang ulupong na yan.
> nanakaw lang ginagawa, sino kaya yan grabe kapal ng muks talaga sis kung andito man sya, hopefully di na nya gawin
For sure kilalang kílala kayo nitan ate, baka nga nakakausap mo na yan nuon kaya alam na anong content nyo ung nanakawin tsk tsk.
Hala, hala! Napansin ko parang madalas yata sya mangyari sa hive? anyway buti na lang familiar yung mga members sa mga articles mo, tsk! Good thing din at dito sa read. cash it only goes to show na nagbabasa talaga mga subs ng content kaya alam nila kung sino original creator. Haist, sana magkaroon ng ways para automatic may notif sa original creator if in case may nagplagiarize. Mainam nga may watermark.

Dami talagang gusto ng easy money. Tamad magsulat. Kung di kaya mag sulat, wag na lang sanang mag join ng mga writing platforms. Kesa naman puro stealing ang ginagawa. Kapagod talaga mga ganitong tao. Buti naagapan agad.
