@Pantera Called Me A Fraud, Here's My Response

The writer commented on my article, “Addressing Pornography and Prostitution Issues” that apparently, I’m a fraud, that’s what he/she said.

The guy points out that I wrote the article the wrong way. “Do you have any idea what a Q-A article should be like? Why won’t you cite your sources? How can you sound like an expert answering some questions like that? How can you appear like a professor of pornography?” - These were the guy’s questions.

Unfortunately, @Pantera removed his comment, and he blocked me, that’s why I can’t show you the exact words he/she posted on the comment section of my article.

(Update: I found out he didn't remove his comment, I just thought he did since he blocked me which made his comment invisible during the time when I wrote this.)

He claimed to have run some of my articles using an anti-plagiarism software and claimed he found some of the words I wrote to be plagiarized. Well, let me tell you this… he’s right… in a way… he is.

Okay, let me admit, I write on other platforms and I reword them, and I post them here. I hope that answers Pantera’s questions and accusations. I write for 3 platforms: Bewiters-an academic-writing site, Yonipp- a content/ebook writing site for Filipinos, and my own website, net-earner.com

I also write for Wattpad, and on an SPG page on Facebook. Of course, those are irrelevant. I’m just telling you about them anyway so you people will know how busy I am as a writer.

I write articles, ebooks, and research papers every day, literally. That should explain why I have a variety of topics that readers might see in my article list. Now, to make it easier for me, I just reword some articles, except for some parts of my own writings which I posted on my own website, and post them here. I wrote them, so I can assure Read.cash that I have the rights to reprint them here, if it's still allowed.

I'm pretty sure Pantera, as well as many writers here, write for other platforms too, and I'm sure a lot of you reword your articles as well if you post them here, or anywhere else, so technically speaking, we're all guilty of the same crime.

Pantera gave me this really hurtful statement, “You won’t make it anywhere as a writer.” That’s pretty heavy, but I have to take it as just constructive criticism. Maybe the guy meant it for good. Maybe he just wants me to get better as a writer, and I have to view that statement in a positive light.

Maybe I won't make it anywhere... except maybe for being an A-level writer in Bewriters, or as a writer with a "Bestseller Badge" in Yonipp, and of course, as a Google Adsense Advertiser in my own site Being granted with an Adsense Badge is freakingly difficult. It is estimated that around 90% of websites these days get rejected when their owners apply for Google Adsense. Try building a site and apply for one, so you’d know how painstaking the process is.

I don’t mean to brag, but those are achievements I got. Why? Because I work hard, and I can say that I work harder than most writers here.

That’s the reason Mr. Pantera, that’s the reason why I’m able to write about a lot of topics. Though if you ask me, I can’t say I’m an expert with all those topics… and I can’t say if the things I wrote were all accurate or expert-level stuff.

I’m a learner, and every day, I still do my best to learn because… I know I still have so much to learn.

To Mr./Ms. Pantera, I hope you can show me some of your credentials and achievements as a great writer. By then perhaps you will be entitled to tell me that "I won't be making it anywhere."

I also hope that I can get to check out your other works outside of Read.cash so I can get to see that you are indeed a great writer. In that case, I will just concede and take heed to your advice instead. Who knows?

Maybe you can end up as my mentor, or maybe we can be the best of friends… if you’d allow it. I'm still open to this possibility even though you think of me as:

  • a scammer who cheats his way

  • someone who steals the writings of others

  • a pathetic joke

  • someone who's not worthy of your time

  • someone who won't make it anywhere in life

  • someone who lies and paints my own picture regarding our argument (What picture is that exactly? You called me a lot of things, which part did I lie ?)

You mentioned these things in the comment section though I'm doing my best not to throw any negative or insulting words at you. You asked me "what's really my plan here." Now let me ask, what's yours?

I just learned recently that you blocked a lot of Filipino writers, why would you do that?

To anyone who thinks that my article about Pornography and Prostitution isn’t worthy to be here and isn’t worthy of the tips it’s getting, then please, feel free to report it. Or how about reporting all of my articles here in Read.cash if they’re offensive, plagiarized, or in any way not helpful?

I’m having a great time as a writer here and until you guys will tell me to stop, or until Read.cash ousts me for being a fraud or a thief, then I’m still continuing.

It’s been a great 8 months for me here, and it’s been a truly fantastic adventure.

Should I quit or go on?

Thanks for reading.

Excelsior!

I just checked your article. What I do see is that they are almost generic answers, as if they were created by artificial intelligence. Most of them start with the same words, which is fine if it's a written exam, but I personally don't like it.

It also depends on who your writings are aimed at. At least, my way of writing in Read is fresh. I try to reach all kinds of readers by giving my opinion on topics that generate controversy, in order to healthily debate different points of view.

I also seek to be an agent of change, so I try to make my texts always have a message.

I don't know what public your writings are aimed at, I would have to read other of your posts to know how your content is in general.

I guess that's what Pantera was referring to. To the form of writing.

In addition, it is a very delicate and extensive topic. That requires tact, as well as seeking to contribute something to humanity to send a message that helps. Because we are currently poorly in many ways.

With regard to this article, notice that you mentioned "self-plagiarism". I don't know if you do or not. I don't worry about seeing who commits plagiarism or self-plagiarism. What I know is that on platforms like Read, Blurt, Hive, and blogs in general, they are frowned upon practices.

According to what I've been researching, authors who plagiarize their own content are considered uncreative. I have no problem with that, it's your content, you should be able to do whatever you want with it. But, it is something that the algorithms of the platforms, and even the users, take into account.

Here I leave you an article that I created some time ago about self-plagiarism:

There was an argument of we can plagiarize our content. However, if you write on multiple platforms, plagiarism checkers might flag your work as plagiarized But as a writer, the rule of thumb is you indicate the source of your information. If you got the information written by other authors, you should credit that source as your reference. If you made the study/survey yourself then you emphasize that. Note. that plagiarism does not only mean copying of content, but it includes copying of ideas. (I think I discussed that in my post, 'What You Should Know About Plagiarism'. ) @pantera and some other members are quite passionate about identifying and discouraging plagiarists. I think you are not the first. One of the writers here who was flagged by painter (I think) took down her 'plagiarized' posts and apologized and moved on

So consider this as a learning experience. If you have published even part of the content on other platforms, indicate that. Much more, if you got the idea from articles by other authors, indicate the source as a reference, else your work, technically, will be flagged as plagiarized.

I admit I do post some of my writings on other platforms, but being called a scammer, a fraud, and someone with multiple accounts that Pantera can block? Those are something else.

That article about Pornography and Prostitution was a QA that I asked and answered personally to myself, they are my opinions... there is no need to cite the references for that.

I'm glad issues like this happen though so we can grow as writers.

Oh, I didn't mean as of lately. I have been experiencing serious writer's block the last few months so I have not been publishing anything . I don't expect to earn on old articles .

I'm not blaming the plagerists for me not be a successful writer, that was meant to be sarcasm . It just pisses me off when I know how long it takes to properly put together an article , link sources, etc so it's frustrating when I see the scammers making out like bandits while honest writer's get over looked .

I appreciate what you are doing . Im sure it's time consuming , and it's not easy to be the bearer of bad news, and something like this can get uncomfortable. The sad part is he literally admits to stealing content and rewording it, and people are still defending him , and giving him tips. I wonder if they would tip with their own money ?

What he doesn't realize is he self snitched on himself by using his other platforms as his defense. He probably has hundreds of "reworded" articles that he's been selling to these websites . Do they really believe that he's all knowing, and never has to cite a reference ?

Anyway, thanks for staying on top of this stuff. I'm sure the sponsors of the platform appreciate it. Oh, and hopefully I'll post a new article soon !

Thanks for the good words. Sadly his clique doesn't share these arguments and in fact they are making posts about me with accusations of racism and other ridiculous arguments. I've met criminals in my life. These kids don't match what I've seen and dealt with. They tipped this guy and the random rewarder followed their tips. This is what they all do, they tip each other, they plagiarise content and when found they will just start all over again.

This is a big reason many don't make it here. Because of these cheaters, but I will keep exposing them. The sad part is that it is jus tme and perhaps another one or two members that care.

I don't mind ruffling a few feathers, and I hate to see you being attacked for doing what is right . I'll help you however I can .

I don't think you are racist at all. The facts are the facts. I believe the statistics . These sites don't take that stuff lightly so I'm sure they have pretty sophisticated ways of verifying this stuff before they ban someone , or post those statistics .

I've actually noticed something similar going on in the Noise . Cash Chambers. It's not stealing content , but more like a a click of tippers that only approve posts from certain users . Someone just said I was making hefty allegations. I said no, I'm just giving my opinion on my personal experience . Something stinks over there.

Be good my friend. I look forward to exposing these people with you .
