I just had a writer try and turn in 40% plagiarism I feel bad for people who buy this crap

I feel bad for the people who end up getting their web content removed from Google's indexed because they purchased plagiarized content and wasted money. I just had someone try and turn in 40% duplicated content found on 68 websites work. I was paying them $15 an hour.

I feel sorry for them too, but any smart client runs the copy through a plagiarism checker like you did. If not, they run exactly the risk you described.

Hey Jesus, just wait and see what some of the writers start producing with GPT-3 IE AI tools; things can get much worse in different ways. Have a good day!

Jesus:

There is nothing new about this. The majority of freelance writers on Upwork are not actually writers in the way that you and I typically think of, but are actually spinners.

This is not a criticism. This is simply an acknowledgment of reality.

I don't even think it makes sense to think ill of them.

And a client should NEVER ask a freelancer like that to revise work or do a better job.

If a client needs a real writer, part of his task is to find real writers and weed out the spinners.

A spinner is a spinner. A spinner is not a real writer. Asking a spinner to be a writer is pointless. It's like asking a cat to be a dog.
