We noticed another "established" site taking stories we publish (which are niche takes on big subjects), stripping out references to our site and some of our language, and then publishing the result a day later and pushing us out of top stories.
We know it's not just coincidence. They use the same quotes we do, the same references, and it always comes a day after our initial publish date from the same author (who doesn't exist).
I swear I saw one piece come out in clearly poorly scraped shape with a fake author name, only for it to update right after cleaned up and humanized with a new person with a twitter account and everything.
Is there really anything I can do? They change it up enough to not get caught by copyscape or anything, but they do pull our exclusive information (-"X" said Y- from our original reporting becomes -Y agreed/disagreed.- in theirs).
