HugeBoi Minos Wife 40,568 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I've had my suspicions for awhile but now it just got confirmed and I'm so speechless. Yesterday I made a thread about Seungyoon's puppy he adopted from a shelter and how much he has changed in just a few months. Not even a day passed and they wrote about it. I looked at the content and its so obvious they took heavy inspiration from my thread Me: "He had a skin disease which is why he had to be isolated from Winner other pets at the beginning. Yoon used to bath him regularly using products to treat it" Them: " Thor had a skin disease that required him to be isolated from other animals. Thor also had to be bathed regularly with special skin products." And I saw their first article about Thor and it did not have this info so they definitely got this from me. This isn't something that was reported in the media but fans know because Yoon talked about it during vlive. Also I made an appreciation thread about Hoony and how the fandom had a mental breakdown because of how good he looked at the concert. Guess what? They wrote something about it too. Me: "A fandom mental breakdown because of this man..." Them: "WINNER’s Seunghoon Is Causing Complete Meltdowns Throughout The Fandom..." And there are many other examples. Back in July I made a thread about Winner being the variety kings of 2018 (before that pann post even happened) and a day later they wrote about it and it was the same content, even the ORDER in which I listed the shows was similar. First I thought it could be a coincidence but now I'm convinced their writer just peep at my threads whenever they wanna write about Winner. I'm annoyed by this cuz they're absolute trash and I hate them with a passion after they shared fake nudes of Seolhyun and other disgusting articles they wrote about other idols. They need to have some shame and stop thieving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katsu curry chips 7,808 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Have you reached out to them to ask what their reasoning for doing this is? Lots of click bait factories employ these tactics, problem is the sources they steal from like OH or tumblr etc don’t exactly protect content from plagiarizing not to mention they’re making money but you’re not which means they’re not stealing due income either... well technically they’re stealing from sadface I guess. Bc it’s his traffic they’re poaching. Anyway this sucks... and it’s so creepy I really wish kboo would just stop existing already, they contribute with nothing.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't think they would respond but it's extremely annoying. I've noticed they never report about Winner until I do and it's been happening for months. I don't visit their site either but it always end up on my TL with ICs praising them for writing such informative articles about Winner and in my mind I'm like well...ofc it's well written if they're stealing from a fan...

~CinnamonBuns~ 2,259 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Throw in some false information that looks true once and a while. That will stop them :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugeBoi Minos Wife 40,568 Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 They should pay you. honestly tho, they're getting clicks, coins and praise when they can't even bother write original content. make a thread with false information and see if they copy that Throw in some false information that looks true once and a while. That will stop them :P Wouldnt that make things worse tho? They have lots of followers and we know how much misinfos can affect idols career. One false info could be taken out of context and spread like wildfire... Get money or sue them. They're so unethical it makes me so annoyedI'm seriously thinking about doing something, maybe reach out to them tho I'm sure they won't care. They're extremely shameless. Even when they get reported by kpop fans for their shitty articles, they don't take them down despite the backlash. Such a trashy news outlet and it makes me mad they still got so many followers after all the shit they spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that next time thank you~ oh i didn't mean anything harmful !! just something funny that's just a slight misinformation to see what they do. something that can't be taken out of context or anything, example: me saying baekhyun's dog is called toben when that's chanyeol's dog's name, and someone quoting me on that. it's harmless. Ah I see. Except that they do some research because they add some things but it's obvious who they get the main idea from. It's like when you copy from someone but makes sure to rephrase it a bit and add some stuff so you won't get caught. That's why I was hesitant to call them out at the beginning but now it's clear to me they definitely peeped at a lot of my threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But actually it has happened to a RV fan before, they straight up stole the whole thread but idk if they reached out to them. I'm definitely gonna compile receipts and see if anything happens with my next thread. If they steal it again I will take action. They need to be stopped.
