Steemit blantantly obvious reposters ( are they bots?) This needs to be fixed!

I made a post today explaining the very short lived lucrative arbitrage opportunity on Poloniex here

And not long after geronimo brought to my attention some person (or bot) just re-post the content with out changing any text or even the images with my name clearly on them. Even some of the text has my name on it.
I mean come on just look at this same name and everything LOL

That is one of the reasons I am thinking maybe this is a new thing of botting going on why would you re-post it when it clearly has my name on it.

There needs to be some kind of automated way to deal with these kinds of plagiarizers it's way to blatant .
I think a automated response could take care of this pretty simply.

This reminds me a lot of youtube re posters stealing content and some times the stolen content goes viral instead of the source. Not good!!

We need to find a solution quick before it gets rampant get on it steemers!

Yeah I hate the YouTube reposters. Remember SoFlo Antonio. That fool straight up got over a Million Subs by just yanking other peoples video and doing a cheezy intro and then showing their videos.

We definitely need a solution to this, perhaps a blockchain scanning bot or something, looking for plagiarism. People are increasingly copying the images used in other posts as well, I just wrote a post about it here:

that is a huge problem i agree because it makes people who create amazing content not want to be on here... makes more sense then to use lbry

Agreed bots and just bad etiquette are currently a problem. Once of my recent posts included these sorts of issues.
