    Hey Lud, you’re an absolute legend for calling this out and it’s much appreciated. Andrew is a very thoughtful creator and it genuinely means a lot that you would stand up for him and smaller creators with your platform.
    I do do CZcams consulting, but I’m actually a straight up CZcamsr with my own channel as well (albeit a tiny one with about 5K subs) and have had my content ideas also taken by much larger creators to much greater success, albeit in fortunately a less direct way.
    Contextually, Andrew actually only had 18K subs before we published the capsule hotel video, and even less when Brent stole the other video’s concept. Being so close to it, I respect him for how much work he put into it, and so am deeply appreciative of the time you took to talk about this.

      @@alexkwan3 CZcamsrs will ask me for advice on how to grow their channels, in exchange for a fee. In my case specifically, I focus almost entirely on storytelling - in other words, working on a lot of the specific details of how the video is edited. The reason CZcamsrs would ask for that advice is because if you make a video in a certain way, then you get better retention (i.e. people watch for longer), and CZcams's algorithm will give your video more views if the retention is higher. Hence why I was part of Andrew's team in the first place, and why I was very very familiar with everything in the video.

    The reason why they steal from smaller creators is because it goes under the radar most of the time and the likeness of a smaller creator fighting back and be heard is also smaller.

      Yeah it happens for all kinds of creators. I see it often with small independent shops. Their designs are stolen by bigger shops and it usually goes unnoticed. The only way they can get something done is if they have an audience big enough to bring attention to it… which is where the larger creator abuses their power.

      Brent Rivera literally got famous on Vine, 10 years ago, by stealing content from smaller creators. Dude has been doing this for so long, there is no way he thinks he is doing anything wrong at this point. He was 15 back then, but it seems like he really hasn't matured much past that. He knows his child audience doesn't care enough to hold him accountable.

    What's really interesting about this is that those smaller creators have their own style, their unique ideas and videos, like a brand. By snatching everything from around him on YT, Brent creates this image where he has no uniqueness, he is not a guy that someone watches for a brand of videos, but a guy who we most likely laugh at. He dives into everything, but he doesn't create anything, he is just farming views, and there is no entertainment value. I hope no brands will make deals with him ever. I saw some collaborations with him recently and it got me to despise these creators who I originally liked that they made sth with Brent ... awful

    Thank you for covering these sorts of things. Just a few weeks ago, I saw a situation on Instagram about an artist I follow. She's a smaller artist, and someone stole her work, put it as their own. And because the thief has a bigger following, people actually did accuse the original artist of "stealing" even tho the idea was originally hers. It was a really sad situation, and it sucks that it's more common than we think that these kinds of things happen. Thank you for a least sharing some awareness on this

    I'll never forget the time I applied for Riot Games for Game Design and they had a cover letter asking, "Tell us one thing you would change about the game." So I spent about thirty minutes detailing a few specific items that were causing problems (This was back in S3-S4 of the game.) They sent me an email back saying thank you but we went with someone else and I was like, cool, ok. Two weeks later, they released a patch and almost word for word they took my ideas from the cover letter and implemented it in the game. They even used an entire paragraph that I had typed out, so I know it was intentional. I never felt so taken aback in my life lmao.

    The issue with these YT creators who make videos for a younger demographic is that their audience hasn't fully figured out how to handle finding out someone they look up to sucks. That younger audience tends to default to "anyone criticizing something I like is wrong." Not blaming the audience for that. It takes time and growth to be able to handle that sort of thing well. The times I've had creators I like do something awful have been genuinely difficult to come to terms with, as parasocial as that is.
    These creators can plagerize, they can disrespect the dead, they can say horrible things to people in person or in DMs and there won't be any real consequences. Their audience will defend them. I think it's super lame to take advantage of younger people like that.

    What's even crazier is he isn't stopping at stealing CZcams videos, but also fraudulently stealing other CZcamsrs' revenues. A good example is Dumpy, another smaller creator compared to Brent, who made a series of videos reacting to Brent's videos and making a few jokes, which would count as transformative content. But because Brent got too butthurt that someone was making fun of him, he claimed the videos that Dumpy made under the pretense that he only reuploaded Brent's videos without any changes whatsoever.

    I think it just comes down to respect for who you're taking the idea from. It's hard to come up with genuinely good ideas, so it makes sense that people take from others when they see one. But there's a huge difference between doing enough to look like you care and actually caring. For example, I've seen countless videos that stole an idea, and some literally say at the beginning "thanks to x youtuber for the idea". Also taking the effort to twist it to your own style/ put in your own work rather than a direct rip off is a big sign that you actually respect the person who came up with the idea. And if you're directly ripping an idea off of many different creators, that's too far
