If you enjoy my content then please do me a solid and read this. If you aren't going to read the entire post, then just read the last paragraph and look at the four screenshots I posted and the other two posts in the thread. Today I could have spent my day posting a bunch of stuff that people have seen before. I could have reposted the same stories you see 20 times a day. It would have kept my impressions up and I would have been on track for a nice payday. I have a family, the money helps us. Instead, I spent the day searching for interesting, relevant material that has never been seen before on this site because I believe in never posting anything that other people have already posted. I don't steal content or ideas. In fact, I search before I post to make sure that my clip/idea hasn't already been posted. I found some amazing clips today and I'm working on a great video tonight. But it's just one video. Can't compete with the people who post stolen content every 30 minutes. There is an ENTIRE NETWORK of accounts that spend its day rummaging through my old posts, stealing my videos and the wordings of my posts. They have figured out that my account is a treasure trove of great content and they steal it all day, every day. It's been happening for years. There are at least a dozen accounts that make their money primarily through ripping my content. I've posted about it many times, I hate to keep complaining, but nothing ever seems to get done about it. I will say this about @nikitabier, those couple months when he was immediately demonetizing accounts for stealing content, that short time was when I noticed the relentless theft of my posts had stopped. People were scared that he was going to end their grift on the spot if they were called out and it was beautiful. The day Nikita announced that he was no longer working for X, that same day I saw a bunch of accounts go back to ripping my content. Videos and wording of posts. This site needs someone full time demonetizing people for stealing content. X really needs this if it wants to retain the best creators. Even if that person made 150k a year, X would make it back in the first month. There are so many content thief grifters still getting paid. It's the Wild Wild West on this site. You see the same story now 20 times because people no longer fear getting demonetized for downloading and uploading videos, even though creators had to promise not to do it for the new program. Doesn't matter, people have no morals. It's very sad to see. Every time I have a video that goes viral I get messages congratulating me on all the money I'm supposedly making on this site. Not true at all. In fact, the only reason I can justify doing this is because of my subscribers. To my subscribers, I know I don't thank you enough but you are the only reason I am able to do this. I sincerely thank you and so does my family. Without you, I'm no longer doing this. Here's one account that makes a living off of stealing my posts. There are four screen shots with six videos that this account has stolen from me in just the past FOUR days. That's 24 videos and the exact wording of my posts, all stolen in just in the past four days. Yes I ranted but this is really disheartening to keep seeing. It's been years I've watched this happen. WTF am I doing with my time if these people are going to keep getting paid for my posts.
