I have read several times that Google penalizes bloggers for duplicate content or copying and pasting.

What happens on LIB seems to me like just copying entire stories or part of a story verbatim, then sometimes giving a link to the original post but Google has never penalized the site for this no disabled the ADSENSE account for this reason as they have continued to serve adsense on the site.

Can somebody please explain this to me. Maybe I don't under what's duplicate content or, disabling Google adsense is not part of the punishment on sites with duplicate content.

I have always told people that Popularity is king , LIB is a high authority website so you cannot compare it with just any kind of website

She references her sources. Like the way people're always adviced to add links to their stories here on nairaland. It absolves you of responsibility for wrong information and shows you're only spreading the website's news rather than claiming it as your own.
The reason her site was shutdown in the past was because she always failed to mention her source(s).

If the donkey in this example was a blogger google would've closed his blog a long time ago. Notice how he resorts to name-calling after I call him out.

@ Charix, does it mean one can post same story verbatim but only need to reference and you are OK with Google?

I don't mean, shutting down your blog but disabling adsense

I guess so. She has done it many times and still continues this very moment.

Don't they give warnings before disabling one's adsense? I'm not a blogger so don't know but wouldn't mind someone telling me.

She doesn't reference. You can check now.

Google doesn't give any warning. You just log in an you see the message or check your email and see their hammer.

She does now. After the ban she caught in 2014 or so she does it almost religiously.

Sorry to hear this. It's for the better though, it would reduce the amount of copy-paste blogs on Nigerian cyberspace.
