The most disappointing fact is when someone who is expected to uphold the rules based on their experience they have had on hive, to find such person violating the rules is extremely disappointing.

Apart from plagiarism being an offence on hive, it's also a sin against content generators, it's like robbing someone of their ownership of a property.

Writing original content is never difficult, it just the ability to conceptualise your thoughts based on your understanding and you could add some pictures to display your ideas visually to your readers.

I see no reason while anybody should plagiarise on hive even among newbies because hive belong is a kind of platform that doesn't expect you to be a professional writer in order to make a post. Just write your thoughts and be creative about it.

Unlike other blogs where there are certain knowledge or skills of blogging you must acquire before being a writer. I believe some people are just prone to commit illegal activities based on their greed regardless of their experiences.

Moreover, chances of plagiarism should be low because 6 people could read a write up online and they won't write the same thing because their perspective of the subject differs from each other.

I believe plagiarism is an act of laziness among authors who want quick rewards and profit driven not content oriented.that is what differentiates a business man from a writer. Writing is never about profit.
