If You Care About Copyright, Stop Using Blog Lovin’

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

Bloglovin isnt assisting blog writers at all. By republishing whole articles without authorization theyre breaching the original authors copyright. Moreover, by republishing entire articles they are eliminating any incentive to visit the actual source of the 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 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. You can enjoy it here if you like. In any case, stop using Bloglovin to read post and rather use a service like Feedly which does things ideal or simply visit your favorite blog sites straight..
