All you did was copy/paste someone else's material. You did cite the link, so I didn't call it plagiarism, but it's still lazy spam attempting to profit from what someone else did. THAT is unfair.

Most of the people don't use that website so I'm just kind of promoting them here in steemit community, why can that be considered spam. Most of the people promote stuff from other websites here by citing them right or is there any rule not to do so. Please tell me if don't know as I'm new here.
If you are just promoting another website, decline payout when you post. You are still trying to profit from another site's work and profit at the expense of original content creators. It's just bad netiquette.
You could instead post a single image and a personal description of why people should visit the host site. Treat it as a review of their product. That would be far more in line with legal and moral fair use, plus a better fit with Steemit culture.
Ok thanks for the reply : )
You also down voted my post from yesterday why? : ( That post was to promote awareness of PETA.
I removed the flag from the PETA post.
You have down voted all my recent posts : ( why you could have atleast warned me from this post right. why : (
Many people post pictures without citing them if by citing I did a mistake your taking it all in a wrong way I think : ( what about them do you down vote their content too
When I see them, I flag them. I usually don't go looking, but when I see it after I post something new, or if people try to promote it on steemit chat, I flag it.
Create original content, or at least offer a proper review. Don't just copy/paste stuff unless you decline payout. It's not that difficult a concept. Why are you trying to make a quick profit off someone else's work and dilute the reward pool for content creators?
Will try to do differently from now thanks for the reply : )
