Every Story I’ve Ever Written on Medium Is Sitting on a Plagiarized Account on Newsbreak

If Oscar Wilde was right, I should be highly flattered

It’s unsettling to see an article you wrote copied word for word, including the links and images. But it’s absolutely mindblowing to see every single article you have published on Medium showing up on a different platform under someone else’s name.

This morning I discovered an account on NewsBreak that has every single Medium story I have published since I began writing here in November 2019. And it’s only my stories. The entire account is based on my Medium postings.

The images are the same. The hyperlinks haven’t been changed. Hey, at least the guy is linking to my referral links at the bottom of every story.

Could it get even more blatantly obvious than a link with my name in it?

Yes, much more blatantly obvious. That’s a giant photo of my face on this guy’s account.
