Thieving Youtube Videos and Reuploading Them Is Retarded
Comments(0)
One of the things about Youtube that people get touchy about is when others download someone else’s video and re-upload it in the exact form just to scam views. Problem is that most people are just too lazy to edit the video even slightly to make it seem like they made an effort.
Look…that original video is always going to be the best. You will never compete with them for views, or will you? This isn’t necessarily true. For the bigtime videos it certainly is. You aren’t going to pull 2 million views on a copy video that someone else uploaded that’s for sure. Of course all those 10-30,000 view videos are pretty fair game.
Take this remade Epic Football Fail video for example. This video was reuploaded with a slight twist from the original. The original has probably 2 million views already, but this one which was actually a video response, and probably a better video overall only has about 1500 views. The original got linked on Huffington Post so this guy has no chance, but at least it has added value for other users. I wouldn’t be completely upset if I clicked this video after watching the original like I would if some douche just changed the title and used the same vid again. IF you keep doing this your term life insurance rates are sure to go up.
What the hell am I even talking about here? Well this post is mainly to complain about all the damn repeat videos posted on Youtube with absolutely no effort to reinvent them for more entertainment. They are a WASTE OF TIME. All you need is Windows Movie Maker and anyone can change these videos enough to give us a new twist. Quit uploading the same shit I just watched again.
