Looking to join Steemit circlejerk groups on Discord

Bump.

This is awfully needed. I'ver been tinkering around in Steemit for the past 2 days, and one thing is clear: Steemit has a number of groups whose users are dickriding each other, and as things are it is difficult to get noticed, and thus make money.

You may see literal shitposts on the trending section, getting thousands of likes and replies (and dollars), and you might think to yourself that you could do 20x better than that, but you won't, unless you socialize with the pre-established users; which considering the way in which steem is designed, are hard to find.

Someone post the Skype/Discord group again. I wanna get in the /biz/ group.

Hoping someone could provide some sort of clarification regarding Steemit's OC rules. Pic related.

As I understand, users have been saying that Steemit scours the web for plagiarized content. But does that really happen? I have been spotting users posting inordinate amounts of content, sometimes at the rate of tens of 2000+ word articles per day, from completely different topics. Now writing a proper 2000 word article alone (AND from scratch) would require at least 2 hours, let alone researching online about it, and making sure what you are saying is accurate. I've blogged before, I can tell you right now that good content takes quite some time; only plagiarized content can be output this fast.

So to get back at my original question: Can you safely copy/curate/spin articles from other blogs in Steem?
