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

I'm so incredibly fed up with freebooters, but what can one man do really?

[–] whileloop@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Glad to see that at least the Freebooting term is kept alive even if Hello Internet isn't.

One of the best "2 guys talk" podcasts

Freebooting was the first sign for me of the downfall of reddit. It used to be that the community demanded credit to the creator at the very least. Once reddit added in their own video you'd get downvoted to oblivion for asking for a source, creator or even linking to the original. Reddit video made it ok to not only freeboot, but to freeboot purely for the purpose of removing the creator's views as reddit only pays in karma.

Long story short, I'm glad to see that lemmy is stepping up and standing up for creators.

Is the pipes bot not doing exactly the same thing? Yet it get upvoted in this posts comments?

(Genuinely don't know, the pipes link doesn't load for me)

[–] gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, because piped is still loading the video from YouTube and retains all of the info for the creator's channel from YouTube. The only real downside for the creator would be that if you normally watch YouTube without adblock then the channel isn't getting your ad revenue since piped doesn't have any ads.

[–] dukk@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But that doesn’t really give the creator any views, does it?

I don't actually know for sure, but I'd imagine it still gives a view the same way watching an embedded video gives a view.

Shout out to almost friday. They have some great bits. They even have one with one of the WKUK

[–] litritt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Immediately became my new favorite channel after watching like 2 skits. Hope they keep getting bigger and better. Loved the one with the WKUK dude, felt like a passing the torch moment.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/Y5HInrono_o

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

At least their TikTok id is visible in the screenshot
