I just found out my DPxDC trans Danny post got SCRAPED.
AI video on TikTok of shitty ass gameplay, with dumbass AI reader.
I honestly would not even be upset, if the person had 1) properly credited me AND ALSO 2) just read it without the AI. Seriously! If you want to read one of my posts on your YT series or something? Tell me, don't use AI, and give me credit! Don't just scrape my blog and steal my shit to profit off of MY work.
I put effort into posting - especially being chronically ill, my fingers lock up horribly while typing, and it's physically difficult sometimes to write. I love writing, and I will continue to do it, but I don't want to have to shut down my blog or move or something just because other people can't respect me.
Whoever did it, did it *so soon* after I posted it here that I'm genuinely thinking 1) they're a tumblr user. They have a real account and they probably even follow me. 2) they're probably following a LOT of the same people I am. Because, lo and behold, the rest of the page is FULL of my favorite Moots and accounts.
I legitimately looked through several of the most recent, and then came to tumblr to look at when the originals were posted, and this specific TikTok account is managing to get super recent posts. Almost so fast that they'd have to have been notified when they dropped.
So. Here's a direct call out, in a way I don't actually enjoy doing but I will because FUCK. THIS.
I don't make writing prompts, or posts, or fics, to just be shit on by scrapers monetizing MY content - content I don't make money off of! I have a Cashapp, and I don't push it very hard because despite being broke I also know that my intent behind creating is creativity not profit. I accept donations! Sure! But I don't monetize my works, and other people have absolutely zero right to profit off of me when even I don't.
As you can see, @nightingale-prompts @mentallyunawareofpapaya and @nerdpoe are just three creators being stolen from- and I just happen to follow Nightingale and Papaya, as well as a few other accounts being used by this guy.
I'm not even a big blog! I'm literally just got to 100 reblogs for a post for the first time today! 😭 I celebrated my milestone only to find out this person has THOUSANDS of interactions for literally stealing it. And with how the creator fund works there? They're making money.
Again! I wanna say. I personally do not mind if someone reaches out to me to ask "Hey, can I read your post in this video I'm making? This is how I'm doing it." as long as they're respectful, give me due credit, and don't use AI for it! I like channels like "The Click" who read posts because they're actually doing VA and giving credit to people. But this? I'm so tired.
