Please don't support pirated content of my reactions (Patreon)
Content
I wanted this to be its own post:
Over the years several people have notified me of people pirating my content. The latest is a person taking content from my Patreon and just posting it on their Patreon. You can see their profile here: https://www.patreon.com/user/posts?u=44044601
While I have reported the page, it is more than likely that Patreon will not do anything and I will not see justice. There's no case or "criteria" or anything I have as a legal basis because "reactions" and "reacting" as an art form does not exist and is not protected by any copyright whatsoever. I've unfortunately been through this numerous times before.
But people like that are the reason why my mental health is so shit. I have a 30k bill from Vimeo I can never see to chip away at because these people "pirate" my content don't even have the DECENCY to actually steal it, they simply REPOST links from MY Vimeo, so I AM the one paying for ANY pirated views. So this person is not only profiting off of my hard work and hours put in, but then they make ME pay the bill for them to just make money.
I don't want to quit reacting. But seeing this makes me want to quit reacting.
As a human being who has given up a social life and hobbies, and just living life for 4 years--it crushes me to see this.
I have never outwardly addressed a piracy case like this but if we're being more honest here, yeah, this makes me want to just quit it all.
This just one of many problems I have to deal with on a constant daily basis. So I hope this helps paint a slightly clearer picture on why I need a mental health break. There's definitely more to it, but this has been... gutting. My reactions mean something to me. To a lot of people it's just "K-Pop" and to me it's my life and for people to sell my life like this... and then continue to make me pay for their ways?
I will still give you all a more clear informed decision on the 28th, this has just been in my heart and hurting me a lot the past few days, and I really needed to vent.
I'm a small creator. Please don't support pirated content like this. Thank you.
