If You Care About Copyright, Stop Using Blog Lovin’

As long time followers of my blog and Twitter account understand, copyright is a subject that I am passionate about. Thats mostly due to the amount of websites that steal my work on a day-to-day basis. Some of them, like the popular Bloglovin service, claim that theyre refraining from doing anything incorrect and are actually helping blog writers get more exposure. Both of those claims are incorrect..

Bloglovin isnt helping blog writers at all. By republishing entire articles without approval theyre breaking the initial authors copyright. Moreover, by republishing entire articles they are removing any reward to go to the actual source of the short article which negates Bloglovins claim that theyre assisting blog writers get more direct exposure..
Google concurs with me on this as evidenced by the fact that every time I submit a DMCA takedown notification with Google they remove the angering Bloglovin URL from their index..
I made a brief, ranting video about this Bloglovin concern. You can enjoy it here if you like. Either method, stop utilizing Bloglovin to check out blog site posts and instead utilize a service like Feedly which does things ideal or just visit your favorite blog sites directly..
