If You Care About Copyright, Stop Using Blog Lovin’

As very long time followers of my blog site and Twitter account understand, copyright is a topic that I am enthusiastic about. Thats largely due to the amount of sites that steal my work on a daily basis. Some of them, like the popular Bloglovin service, claim that theyre refraining from doing anything wrong and are actually helping bloggers get more exposure. Both of those claims are incorrect..

Bloglovin isnt assisting blog writers at all. By republishing whole short articles without permission theyre violating the original authors copyright. Additionally, by republishing entire articles they are getting rid of any reward to go to the actual source of the article which negates Bloglovins claim that theyre helping bloggers get more exposure..
Google agrees with me on this as evidenced by the reality that each time I submit a DMCA takedown notice with Google they eliminate the angering Bloglovin URL from their index..
I made a brief, ranting video about this Bloglovin issue. If you like, you can enjoy it here. In any case, stop utilizing Bloglovin to read post and instead utilize a service like Feedly which does things best or just visit your favorite blogs straight..
