Invidious

hey guys! i have never used the community feature before, so let's hope this works.

over the past couple months, i have been dealing tirelessly with an individual who stole and reposted my richie & eddie "two man team" video. this individual blackmailed me into making the original video public again (i originally made it private for personal reasons), and has repeatedly refused to delete their copy of my work. i gave ZERO permission for them to do this, and they are taking credit on their channel for the video. below you can find an image of what the stolen version looks like.

i am quite simply exhausted over attempting to deal with this. i have been angry, i have cried many times, i'm so stressed out, and above all, i feel incredibly hurt and disrespected. this situation has kept me from not only wanting to vid more reddie, but from wanting to vid in general. this might not seem like a big deal to you, but i probably spent about 40 hours on this singular project. i pour so much time, thought, tears, and energy into every single video i create, and to see someone so blatantly disregard that, and to so selfishly try to build their own views and subscribers with something they couldn't even create themselves, is devastating.

this individual has also stolen from many other IT creators, and their entire channel is stolen and reposted work. i am not sure what to do at this point, so my goal with this post is to inform you all that that is NOT my video, nor is it a different reddie video to the same song.

please do not watch this repost of my video, please do not give them any more views.

and to the individual who stole this from me, because i know you are subscribed to me, i genuinely hope you are happy with yourself.

I just want you to know how much I love this video. I used to watch it everyday, multiple times. You did such a great job on it, I can tell how much work you put into it. I was so sad to go into my favorites one day to see it was private, and I checked almost every day to see if it was public again, and I started doing that less and less. Then last week I was looking for another video on my favorites, and I saw it, and I started going, “yes! Yes! Yes!” I was so excited! I’m so sorry this is happening to you, and I hope it gets resolved soon. P.S. you’ve made me absolutely obSESSED with this song. I listen to it on repeat in my car sometimes when I’m alone 😂
