As I said, I don't have time to do the study, but at least I leave my proposal to the community

Powering Down For the Greater Good. My Protest Against Authoritarianism
Hopefully somebody else will read this and have plenty of free time on their hands. And then we can repeat the emotional debate between the "fors" and "againsts" with some statistics to throw around whilst the best alternative solution that anybody can come up with is "just don't vote on it".
Although... whether the percentage of plagiarism on the platform is 2%, 15% or 50% is irrelevant to the person who's content is being stolen. Taking plagiarism and content theft to an extreme, Blurt could have a lawsuit files against them in Canada and be switched off at domain level if they're unable to do anything about it. Pleading "we're decentralised" won't cut it with the lawmakers.
In my opinion, this is far worse than having a little ⚠️ next to a few usernames. A symbol which users can turn off in just 4 clicks of the mouse.
I hope Blurt doesn't turn into a Steem/Hive.
I remember in 2017 there were endless flag wars, with characters like Bernie Sanders. A minority (with power), using similar arguments, abused their power on the platform. I hope history doesn't repeat itself, and no more forks be needed
Without downvotes, downvote wars can't happen. And from the people I've spoken to, Blurt will never have downvotes.
I don't understand how anybody can be against Blurt highlighting users who have plagiarised and continue to plagiarise content. Especially when in the Settings, they can choose to turn this feature off.
So long as this list isn't easy to get onto and impossible to get off of, I will struggle to understand how anybody can oppose this and how it's been implemented. But perhaps I'm unique in this respect having had my content plagiarised whereas some of those complaining don't even write anything.
I really don't get it so perhaps this isn't a debate I should have any involvement in 👋🏼
