Freebooting Twitter Account getting millions of views without credit, original creators get next to none...

Description: A freebooting Twitter account (very likely without permission) posts a screenshot of a TikTok with no credit and gets millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes. The creators of the original video respond, and get next to no views. (And currently have 6 likes on the tweet.)

As a side note, go watch Almost Friday TV, their videos are hilarious and incredibly well directed: https://youtu.be/Y5HInrono_o

You got it dead on.

It's always been an issue, but it's getting worse and becoming even more common.

The foundation of YouTube was people taking episodes of TV shows and trying to get around the auto filter by putting images off to the side etc. This has been common and previlant for a very long time now. Also see the ancient meme of "I made this"
