Fanfic Thieves on Youtube

A collection of youtube channels have been uploading preexisting fanfictions in videos with little to no credit to the original authors. These are not podfics, these channels copy-paste the fics into text-to-speech readers then upload the unaltered audio over static or unrelated backgrounds, either art that is also stolen or mobile game footage. In addition to not naming the authors, they alter the title to make it that much harder for readers to recognize or find the original uploads. Some go so far as to pretend they themselves are creating the fics in question. Many claim that their stealing actually helps give fics "exposure" despite the intentional steps they take to conceal the origins of the fics they profit off of. However, this practice has lead many authors to discontinue fics after the frustration of having their hard work stolen. Many of these channels claim they will remove videos upon request, but will either argue with the author in order to keep it up, or simply unlist the video for a time until they think the author isn't paying attention anymore. And their solution to receiving strikes against their channels in the past has been to further obfuscate the origins of their content instead of even considering asking first.

”I got caught stealing, so instead of not stealing anymore, I’m doubling down on stealing even more so it’s harder for people to find out and prove I’m stealing. Stealing doesn't count if the specific person I stole from didn't call me out. I am the real victim.”

That, plus the incessant tag scumming in all the videos (spamming unrelated tags in order to appear in more search results) proves to me that these are lazy attention seekers who don't want to put in creative effort when they could just leech off of the passion of others.

In order to report them, go to their channel's "About" page and click the flag icon. Said icon might be behind the three dots in the top bar on mobile. Go to "Report User" at the bottom and tick the "spam and scams" button. This will allow you to list multiple videos as offenders instead of reporting them individually. Youtube's policy states that video spam constitutes:

Massively uploading content that you scraped from other creators.

Auto-generated content that computers post without regard for quality or viewer experience.

If you recognize one of your fics among the stolen, say so in the additional comments box, and perhaps call out the channel directly in the video's comments. If you recognize someone else's fic, please let the original author know so they can report the channel as well. Many have been confronted for stealing previously and refuse to admit wrongdoing.

Most of what I've found has been My Hero Academia fics since that's my fandom and those are the ones I can recognize as stolen, but there are many other channels that steal from other fandoms, so I invite anyone and everyone to reblog this with their own findings.

The reality is that this extremely low-effort content and new youtube channels are both very easy to make, so most likely they'll start new channels once the ones on this list are run through. But hopefully, if we all work together and keep whacking these moles, perhaps we can instill that same defeatism they caused so many creators who didn't deserve it, and eventually they'll give up.

My sincerest thanks to everyone who helped bring additional channels to my attention. A special thanks to ao3 user InArduisFidelis who brought the initial attention to the issue, and @owlf45 whose work was stolen.

letting all my writers know that can make copyright strikes against these channels, there's an option on YouTube to prevent re-uploads or uploads of near-identical content. It won't prevent all re-uploads of your content, but you won't have to manually strike every future video. Also, you can protect your content from other alt channels. So, if possible, try and get your copyright strikes instead of relying on the spam report function.

”It’s suspicious that he would post this right after his account got deleted”

GIRL I POSTED IT WHEN YOU SENT IT 2 MONTHS AGO??? HELLO??? YALL ARE SO DUMB I REALLY REALLY CANT. and pre blocking me so I can’t see you making posts the day my IG is deleted bc of you so I can’t see you STRAIGHT UP LYING ? LMFAO

My roommate is who responded to the message. Response was “Go on.” Someone else IRL SAW AND REPLIED TO THE MESSAGE. but it’s fake so I guess I’ll just believe you guys INSTEAD OF MY FUCKING EYE BALLS.

not even mad about the account, I’m mad that she just constantly fucking lies about LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

HOW DO YOU GUYS NOT FIND IT SUS FOR HER TO COME BACK WHEN MY IG IS FINALLY DELETED???? HELLO??? PLEASE EXPLAIN??? I POSTED THE MESSAGE LONG BEFORE THIS SO I NEED REALISTIC ANSWERS PLEASE.

I also quite literally posted it without tagging anyone because it wasn’t about turning her into a liar. IT WAS ABOUT SHOWING HER LITERALLY ADMITTING TO PARTAKING IN HARASSING ME??

I would show y’all a screenshot or recording of my fucking camera roll if it would shut y’all the fuck up, but it would just be put off as “fabricated evidence” so I really can’t be fucked anymore. Have fun with the lying liar who lies.

@bi0film PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET PSYCHIATRIC HELP. YOU REALLY NEED IT. If you need links to resources I will GLADLY SEND THEM.

#the debacle #roadkill fairy

Man am I glad Roadkill girl's fuckery has been exposed to wider Tumblr because this shit is ridiculous. I'm only speaking up now because I believed ignoring Roadkill would deprive her of much desired attention and she'd lose interest and move on. Clearly, I couldn't have been more fucking wrong.

It was bad enough knowing that she's relentlessly hunting one of my mutuals like an animal for some stupid reason but finding out that she was crashing out so hard that she was trying to drag big, I hesitate to use the term but, Tumblr "celebrity" accounts into this mess is legitimately insane.

I haven't been harassed half as bad as some of the people who've been affected, I'm thankful for that at least but it's still infuriating the way she's relentlessly stalked and harangued any account who so much as followed Jade, myself included. Worst I got were creepy screenshots of me and a mutual pissed off that we were being stalked and them calling us stupid for not believing them.

But I am glad that this public backlash is seemingly giving Roadkill pause and forcing her to go to ground. If you're reading this, Roadkill, turn off your phone, go outside. Go to your favourite restaurant, maybe the library, walk along a path you love taking and think about what you're doing because this... this is nothing short of demented and it won't end well for you if this keeps up.

#the debacle #that's probably all you'll hear from me on this because i don't have much else to say #better has been said and feelings have been articulated #mig-murg's brain splurge

like oh my lord you have to be joking. "she's fatphobic she's transphobic she's a TERF help me cancel her and drive her to suicide" they are biting at every chance to misgender, deadname, and belittle people for being fat and trans at every given opportunity for even existing adjacently to her. they have made genAI nudes as revenge porn. they threaten to deport people, they have sent gore to so many people - including minors. they are the perfect conservative caricature, and the epitome of lack of self awareness. they get mad at people online for having hobbies when quite frankly they need a new one. this has been going on for MONTHS how are they not sick of this

#the debacle #should dig up the old shit to be quite honest bc I am somehow involved despite talking to Jade one (1) time
