This is tangential but this channel frustrates me to no end. They shamelessly rip other people's content, stripping their videos of author information, conference information etc, AND add their own title card so that it appears like they are the publishers of the video. Why is this acceptable!
Anyway, here is the original source [1], that this time was NOT in their video description.

And this is the last time I commented about this channel [2]

- anarchyrucks 7y agoThis. It frustrates me to no end. I've read somewhere that they explicitly ask for permission to put videos on their channel but I still cannot get over how they edit the video and try to make it look as if it was their own.
- villgax 7y agoThe same goes for SSWolf or whatever on YouTube as well, just giving a banal commentary on the weeks top posts/gifs/videos on reddit without permission or attribution. I think content like that can come under the radar for repetitive clause.
- softwarelimits 7y agoThis is a very old problem on YT, there are many, many content thiefs. It would be very nice to have a good toolset available that helps with finding these videos, however it does not help if YT team does nothing. Of course for every content producer more viewers is a good thing, but the platform should redirect all profits to the original authors.
