The next level: Cut and Plagiaspamming
Last night on an article, I got this comment:<div class="pull-right">https://i.imgur.com/EyLtA66.jpg</div>

>your post looks very good, readers are comfortable reading your post, I support you in steemit, look at my post and look calmly and comfortably @panopticalvia

This came 2 or 3 minutes after posting. Let's break it down a little:

- Thanks
- In the time between reading and before commenting, there was a discussion and consensus reached on its readability
- It is always nice to be supported and then be ordered to perform an action
- It is good to be reminded to stay calm and comfortable when reading anything from the internet just in case one has the 'keyboard warrior gene'.

This account has a rep of 56, I normally get this kind of thing from 1 to 30 accounts.

About 6 minutes later I get this comment:

your post looks very good, readers are comfortable reading your post, I support you in steemit, look at my post and look calmly and comfortably @azziz

Now, let's break this one down:

>- Thanks
>- In the time between reading and before commenting, there was a discussion and consensus reached on its readability
>- It is always nice to be supported and then be ordered to perform an action
>- It is good to be reminded to stay calm and comfortable when reading anything from the internet just in case one has the 'keyboard warrior gene'.

Yes, it seems we have got to the next stage where not only are people cut and pasting comments, plagiarizing content and spamming; it has evolved and mutated into 'Cut and Plagiaspam'.

Darwin would be proud at the demonstration of cross pollination and the resulting new species. What I am however hoping is that the survival of the fittest also proves these comments and posts weak and weeds them and all sub-species from the environment.

I checked and the first account comment had been posted a few times and the second account posted many times. @azziz spams a lot and also claims in some comments that it has been - upvoted by @minnowpond and in order to get continued support from @minnowpond one must follow him. (azziz leaves off the @ though, which means no mention notification for @minnowpond) 

Perhaps these two accounts are linked, perhaps @azziz is a representative for @minnowpond but, they still get flagged for spam cut and paste comments. Then I came across this on one of @azziz's own posts:

https://i.imgur.com/0RbZ2Qj.png

Strange. Trolling?

@panopticalvia (the first poster) had this to say in one article:

Keeping his structures – I infer & enumerate the elements in an oriented list; correlate the inherent conceptual nature of each element to logical fallacies that may be construed as interconnected in subversive argumentation &/or rhetoric.In a philosophical sense I borrow the mysticism of genesis (Adam & Eve) as well as a term from critical theory – binary opposition– to elucidate my correlation of human thought & wisdom to knowledge being either one thing or another (correct/incorrect).0 – a priori - before the experience1 – a posteriori - after the experience

Full article here: https://steemit.com/philosophy/@panopticalvia/61zhky-kant-s-elements-of-transcendentalism-in-correlation-with-logical-fallacies-steemit-exlusive

I have been reading the work of thousands of people professionally and possibly a very tired mind could turn a vocabulary that is likely to be around 50,000 or more from the top quote into:

your post looks very good, readers are comfortable reading your post, I support you in steemit, look at my post and look calmly and comfortably @panopticalvia

Possibly.

I really don't know what is going on here but it is pretty low to post cut and paste comments but even lower to plagiarize cut and paste comments. I had a quick look at the accounts and the posts from @panopticalvia sound like they have come from a text book and are often very detailed and complicated topics posted in quick succession, the posts from @azziz are something else entirely.

If anyone can shed some light on this comment curiosity, I am all ears.

I wasn't going to post the account names but this is the blockchain after all and it is all there if one has a look through my replies anyway.

I saw this on someone's post yesterday too. I looked around and couldn't figure it out. I did give it a good downvote because I saw that account was spamming. Strange.

lol, just by reading it makes me laugh. If wanna cut and paste, do it more professionally and customize a few versions. People will notice sooner or later if this continues. Sincerity is one of the keys to being sustainable in Steemit, from my perspective. Support genuine works and cited works @tarazkp!
Its weird to see multiple similar comments though.

It is definitely not so hard to at least have some variability but no. Maybe it is a lack of creativity.

It almost looks like azziz is simply copy/pasting the previous comment in the chain if it contains a reference to an account at the end of the post, but simply replacing the azziz account name instead of the original poster's name..

It's pretty fascinating seeing what kind of spam people can come up with! Also, please look calmly and comfortably at my latest post - maybe relax with a warm mug of tea in your hand and your feet propped on a cushion while you're at it.

I don't think one account was plagiarizing from another account. I think this is the same person having multiple accounts spreading his thoughtless comment everywhere hoping to siphon a few bucks away by getting a few upvotes from the people he is spamming.

I'm sure the content he is posting for his accounts is something that takes him very little effort in one way or another (like your hypothesis that he is copying something off of a textbook or something).
