Every day, you see the same people post an article, at the same time, in groups with other authors. It might be a film review, always long, always apparently well written. Always upvoted to over $100, even upvoted by myself on occasion.
"How can that be?" You wonder. "How can they have time to watch and write about a film, every day? Without a break. Maybe it's thier full time job now. "
Suspicious isn't it?
I thought so too.

Today, I bring you @lowellum. One such author and the original source of their articles.

These articles haven't been flagged for plagiarism. This is a professional operation taking thousands of dollars out of Steemit every day. One account of many, taking @endingplagiarism all day to unravel - an activity I'm unable to do regularly because the wife's already pissed at me.
