Just as on his account and many alter accounts that he has used for years, Zuerich was spamming with copypasta content exploiting the reward pool and kept refusing to stop. Hive's rewards pool is not "free money" faucet to exploit with spam/copypasta.
Some example of posts:

https://hive.blog/religion/@zuerich/the-real-battle-of-vienna-1683 (This one is from 2018)
The posts were a huge copypasta of content from different books (over 4000 words of copypasta per post) with only a few original sentences (less than 60 words each).
Original writing could be compiled into less than 3 sentences:
The multi-language translation of the sentence does not count as original content.
It is not a 50/50 ratio of original to quoted text. It's 99% copypasta.
These posts (there were hundreds not just these 3) had only 1 very short, original sentence:
Post 1:

Post 2:
etc.
Regarding his multiple accounts, here is more information. His other accounts were not only mass spamming copypasta but all mass spamming plagiarised articles.

Thank you for investing your (? who is this exactly?) time into answering my question.
I would like time both to reflect on it (after looking into it further), as well as (very important!), hear from Zuerich, as there are always two sides to any matter. Generally true and undoubtedly particularly true, in this case.
Thanks again!
Dear @roleerob, thank you for your comment.
I just made a post on these allegations.
And yes, there are some posts that copy parts of books, but for this I read the books, carefully select the best sections, and format them for posting them here.
I'd guess I made overall about 100 of this kind of "excerpt posts" and 300 "free write" posts, and I do not expect upvotes for them - as I write them mostly for myself.
One could make a quick comparison: 100 post with each "earning" 5 dollars making 500 dollars. I have delegated tens of thousands of Hive Power over years - voluntarily forgoing profits in interest and curation rewards. I don't have exact numbers on that, but I am sure this makes a lot more than 500 dollars, and I'd guess that these delegations add value to Hive - and that is what should be a big part of our efforts here.
