<p>Steal Like an Artist</p><p>by Inioluwa</p><p><br/></p><p>Being a creative is crazy. I mean it , all creative people are mad. There’s absolutely nothing new under the sun. No matter what “new” innovation you bring, someone has thought of it before.</p><p><br/></p><p>All creatives are thieves. That idea you repainted and now call yours? Trust me, you saw it somewhere before. Now it’s stuck at the back of your throat, mixed with stomach acid, and you just regurgitate it ,your vomit made beautiful with copyright and legal jargon.</p><p><br/></p><p>All creatives are pretentious. We sit down making people believe in the work we’ve done, letting the world interpret it for us ,all the while knowing we don’t fully understand what we’ve made ourselves.</p><p><br/></p><p>Once a piece of art is released to the world, it no longer belongs to the artist. It’s left to the viewers to decide: is this work stolen?</p><p>And if your theft isn’t discovered ,congratulations you’re one of the best creatives out there.</p><p><br/></p><p>Trust me, I want to be like you.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yours,</p><p>Inioluwa</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
