Just now when googling my recent Reddit post to try and see when I posted last, I found multiple ‘news’ websites (super spammy ones) that completely copy and pasted my article and posted it to their site. Here are some examples:

Maybe I should be ‘honored’ they at least post my user name with them, but now I’m suspicious that some of my ‘followers’ here are on Reddit just work for those sites and see which posts of mine start trending the hardest and repost them accordingly. Welcome to the internet I guess.
