I've found this parallel really interesting, as Facebook has now been criticized for not having Content ID and those criticisms are led by smaller creators (I guess the big media companies have given up being outspoken about piracy on video platforms that don't have Content ID-like systems).
- codewithcheese 11y agoIt's pretty amazing. Facebook whole strategy seems to be encouraging people to rip YouTube videos and put them in the Facebook player. A YouTube embed share on Facebook is just not given the viral weight a Facebook video has, and Facebook is doing nothing to stop piracy. They will of course crack down... when they feel like enough creators have moved from YouTube to Facebook.
- majani 11y agoPoetic justice for YouTube, who grew off the back of willful ignorance of music copyright for the first few years before cracking down.
