Hey guys Zinja here and today I will be talking
about youtube impersonators, i.e. people who
change their names to impersonate bigger youtubers,
these people copy the channel icon and banner
so that it looks like the legitimate channel,
and then start re-uploading the specific youtubers
content on their channel. I am totally against
this unethical practice as it is basically
stealing views from the original creator of
the video. There is a lot of hardwork that
goes into making videos, and then you come
to know that someone has stolen your video
and reaping the rewards from it without doing
any work at all.
Even if you’re verified on youtube, the
verification checkmark isn’t very prominent,
and it doesn’t even exist on mobile devices.
So it makes it very hard to detect which is
the actual channel itself, Youtube should
incorporate some features which make the actual
channel stand out, or else give reserved name
space to the people who are verified so that
others cant change their name to that specific
channel name.
Here are a few examples:
Many youtubers do youtube as their full timejob, so someone else taking your views away
is like someone robbing your money, because
monetized views is how youtubers earn their
living.
Popular minecraft youtuber known as Thinknoodles
had also made a video concerning this issue
a while back; we should spread awareness about
this issue as it is against Youtubes Terms
of Service. Please do report any user who
does such things and try and get their channel
terminated as soon as possible
