Identity theft, post theft and impersonation of me

Thieves always piss me the fuck off. Someone who feels entitled to someone else' things because they don't want to work for them, themselves. Well I have found out from one of my dedicated readers from this post that someone has been steeling my content:
@depressedfuckup/plagiarist-impersonating-one-of-my

Turns out @depressedfuckup was a reader of my content on blurt and on this post he has identified @jibon07 has been steeling my content and posting it as his own. So far it looks like it is about 12 posts. Looks like about $70 in rewards. This is very annoying and potentially damages my brand as I struggle to grow my online blogging audience.

When I saw that I was mentioned in this post with that title I knew that it was going to be no good. But as it was it was sort of bitter sweet because I found out that some ass hole has been steeling my work and impersonating me and then on the other hand I found that a fan and friend has my back and I am one of the favorite bloggers of someone.

So I spammed the hell out of @jibono07 comments warning people not to vote for the content and to go to my blog for any questions and to see the original content. I also reported it to HIVE watchers. On further investigation it looks like there is a link to this account to @darkclown, who has another introduction post of with another picture of another self proclaimed bangladesh. He then proceeds to post Nigerian focused content. I am sure it is the same MO and person.

So now what to do, I really could have used that $35 he has received in rewards from my work a week ago when I was scraping up ever cent of different coins on HIVE-Engine to get some money in my US bank account that is reading $0 to make a student loan payment.

Looks like the best option would be for me to watermark or logo my photos. This is something that I have not wanted to do because I choose my photos as I write and this will severely distract from my creative process. It will also detract from the photos. It is not 100% because the photos could always be cropped unless I severely molest them with my water mark. And then my words will still not be protected.

At least there are community members that are also watching for us. Lets continue to be each others brother keepers and make sure that scum like this do not get to profit from other peoples work.

100% proceeds of this post go to @depressedfuckup.

This is my first time posting in GEM community, I did this because he had primarily been posting here. I will look to use it for my own original post in the future. Thanks.
