I don’t normally feel the need to publicly voice my opinion online, but I just can’t believe this has happened and he’s most likely gotten away with this. So I’ve been watching this smaller content creator called apothos on YouTube, and he’s quite a fun guy to listen to and watch as he’s mainly doing commentary and full gameplay. While watching him today he brought up that Lex had stolen a full 10 minutes of his gameplay and talked over it in his “zombies chronicles 2 is Cancelled” Video. Apothos mentions that Lex never approached or credited apothos’ channel anywhere in the video.
Isn’t this just an unacceptable thing to do? When, as a community, did we start letting less noticed and hard working creators get their work robbed by someone who clearly believes he’s above asking someone politely to borrow some clips. It’s most infuriating to me that there’s next to no chance he’ll face any repercussions here and will continue to take from these creators.
For more information on this situation I’ll link some videos where it’s discussed.
– the video where apothos first posted the gameplay
– the video where Lex used the stolen footage
– the video where apothos talks about his content being stolen
