It's much harder to verify short forms than longer ones. It's easy to change just one word of a good tweet and claiming upvotes.
When financial incentive comes people are going to try different things to outsmart the system.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I am sure there might be some of that but are you really thinking that wide spread "tweet stealing" will be a problem. In the time it takes to steal one, one could bang out 25 words.
The content of a tweet doesnt get it upvotes as much as the followers.
I could post the same thing as a top tweeter and get 1/100th of the votes since I have a small Twitter following.

You can't compare with yourself as you are part human and part machine. lol :D

You are actually very right on that. But inasmuch as its microblogging. I see no reason why someone would go about plagiarizing short contents for crying out loud.
The chance is given already for those who can't keep up with long and bulky content so why still go around plagiarizing content as short as a tweet? That's insane if I am to say.

I agree @zanoz.
I am not sure "tweet stealing" is a major problem.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think it is, or will be, a "major" problem. But I would be really surprised if people did not use others tweets. People lack morality.

Yeah! And if it becomes a problem then I am sure there will surely be a way to tackle them @taskmaster4450le

I think there will be a bot that responds with "I found this content here as well" and a link, sorta like we have now. Then, it'll be pretty easy to see where the content came from, and action can be taken accordingly, even if it's just a bunch of downvotes.

For people not native in English for instance, this could be a superb 'money grab'. Just copy & paste some awesome tweets you find on Twitter and you're set.

I see your point @hitmeasap
You know you aren't entirely wrong because even with long and bulky contents. I have seen and read different posts that are very much alike and similar in some paragraphs and I am like, didn't I just read the same phrase or paragraph in someone's post?
And it's usually an initiative or contest.
So I understand people reading other people's entries and stealing some phrases and paragraphs without even changing to their own words and it's mostly those who aren't native in English like you said.
But whatever be the case, I am sure it wouldn't be much of a problem

As soon as money is involved, people will always find ways to abuse, cheat, steal and lie. It's unfortunate, but it's just how some people works. I don't think it will be a big deal regardless though, but I am sure there will be people trying to "get rich quick" by using others content. Especially when it's twitter-like content as it's difficult to check.

Yes, you are very right about that.
But let's just see how it goes

There are communities of people on Hive who speak all sorts of different languages, though. I think people will be able to post in whatever language they want and someone will be able to read it and will appreciate it was written in that language.
As far as just copying tweets, I really think something like postbot will point that out and we'll be able to take action against those users.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a good point. There will most likely be systems in place to prevent abuse in various forms.

Tweets don't necessarily have to always be about content, it's easy to spot who's just doing it for the farm and who genuinely is tweeting for the sake of tweeting. Elon can paste a meme and get millions of likes. Similar to Hive you don't always just curate the content, there's millions of authors and content creators out there, at one point it starts also being about who you want to reward as a person, their reputation, history, contributions, etc, etc.
THIS. If two people tweet out identical tweets by accident, people are going to upvote the person they follow or like and ignore the other. That's just the way the world is. Let's not cry plagiarism if that happens either, unless it's obvious like an identical paragraph or something.

Yes you are right
