Yeah, at least twice now a content creator friend of mine went viral (think tens of millions of views) without getting much of the traffic herself; the thieving accounts/networks captured almost all of the benefits. Having those taken down have proven to be almost impossible. It’s disgusting.

Edit: In addition, just recently she managed to ward off a blatant thief and finally drive traffic from another hit to herself. But the income lost to the thief in the first few days? Forget about it.

Agreed, also the fact that rehosted content often never points back to the source creator, which potentially robs OC creators of real followers and potential business leads that could likely support them through these harsh times, literally to line pockets of people that had nothing to do with the content creation process at all.
