How Facebook is Stealing Billions of Views

Facebook just announced 8 billion video views per day. This number is made out of lies, cheating and worst of all: theft. All of this is wildly known but the media giant Facebook is pretending everything is fine, while damaging independent creators in the process. How does this work?

Hey, Kurzgesagt, can you do a video on P vs NP, or any other of the 7 millennial problems on the clay mathematics institute?

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

It would be nice if you cover how the blue (f) button, the 'like' button, and facebook comment section also tracks and takes away viewers, not to mention the intelligence data they collect, record, and catalog on each and every one of YOUR viewers, etc. Not Good. !

[@kurzgesagt]

Since a lot of people asked: Sharing a video on Facebook is GOOD for the creator if you use a linke to the original Voutube video. In that regard Facebook is a good thing and actually important for us. The bad thing is when people/sites upload videos into the Facebook video player. Sorry that we did not make this clearer. So feel free to share this video on Facebook.

[@vivekkotecha]

+In a Nutshell - Kurzgesagt : I have a feeling that when you share KZbin links on Facebook, a lot of those links somehow don't show up on your friends' news feeds which are in "top stories" mode even when the links would be relevant to those friends due to Facebook's "magic" algorithm. I love your videos and also support you guys on Patreon but when I share you videos and get no likes I feel sad that people don't get to see the content you guys create. Can you please make a Facebook page and also upload your videos for the Facebook player ? I know its like giving in, but atleast a lot more people will get to see your awesome content and you might have more supporters too.

[@losnamerales3403]

@@AbraHaze84 I wouldn't say "Facebook talks 'strictly' to the idiots of the world", I'd say Facebook makes itself more accessible by seeming harmless about its workings and also trying to be addictive in more ways than one... • it tries to include users in online mob mentality community • it will give as much push notifications as it is permitted to entice you back • it takes all sorts of analytical data to know what type of videos or posts you like and will keep them coming thick and fast to keep your attention • it has loopholes for its own rules and uses private groups, DMs and other things to let clever users invoke them Basically Facebook is quickly becoming the mainstream silk road just with more conversation, you add someone you talk to someone they share the same interests, you exchange numbers and talk privately or buy whatever legal merchandise direct all while idiots all talk loud with their keyboards

[@AbraHaze84]

@@losnamerales3403 I basically tend yo label any one who isn't aware of himself and his surrounding reality, an idiot... The kind of person who thinks the internet some how represents real life, someone that thinks that texting is on par with actual face to face conversation and human connection (and worst yet, someone who brings tribal internet mentality INTO the real world) We must learn to think critically over the stuff we see as absolute or remain idiots... Thats my take anyway, no disrespect, I've been an idiot for the better part of my life before i came around at the age of 31 so... It's not a slight

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is unbelievably important - and I've been saying stuff like this for years with everyone brushing it off as 'petty'. People have NO idea. It's fucking disgusting. People need to understand that KZbin isn't just a 'collection of viral videos' itself - it's a PLATFORM. A platform for amazing content, much like a great TV channel, but online. And the sooner these dicks understand that, the better. Or, ya know, even if they don't get it, they should at least know that stealing and profiting via other forms of media is just fucking shit in itself. Also, the Facebook video service is shit anyway. It barely works on my brand new phone. Unacceptable.

How to spot a stolen video in Facebook: 1.- Video starts or ends abruptly, with no credits nor intro sequence 2.- Video has a watermark from the facebook page that stole it, and doesn't mention any source in the description 3.- Has two rectangles, one at the bottom and one at the top, with text such as "OMG you wont believe this..." 4.- Overuse of emojis such as "😂", "😮", etc.

7 years later and nothing was essentially ever changed. It's actually gotten worse with the introduction of Tik Tok. In the last 7 years the definition of fair use has also dramatically changed. Essentially you can steal anything, slightly edit it in 2 minutes and now you're deemed to be using under fair usage. I honestly don't understand how this massive problem just snowballs worse every year and nothing gets done about it. Original, hard-working creators are still suffering the most.

[@AlexanderTheSwell]

A year ago, I made a goofy little video where I took a children's shark book and voiced over the pictures. Not the most original idea -- it's something a lot of people do, and it was just something that I made in like five minutes with no production value whatsoever just to make a couple friends laugh, but it went on to garner millions and millions of views... all of which are from people that ripped it and uploaded it to their Facebook pages. At first, I didn't think much of it. The video was getting attention, and what made me happy was seeing all the comments from people that really seemed to enjoy it -- sharing it with their friends, saying how it brightened up their day, etc... I was thrilled that a silly little thing like that could do that for people. I didn't mind that my official upload of it only had an extremely small fraction of those views. After a while, though, I started getting a little bitter. I don't make videos in hopes of "getting rich" off of them, I make them because I enjoy it and I love making people smile... but when I realized just how much I missed out on by having all those views go to uploads from other people who stole it, it felt like a huge slap to the face. I realized how much exposure I missed out on, and how much the ad revenue on a video like that could have really helped me out. Again, I can't stress this enough -- I'm not in this for the money, but being able to earn a living off of this stuff is kind of the goal. I know that might sound contradictory, but the reason for that is so I can keep working on creating content full time and not have to rely on working shitty day jobs to pay my bills. With a video as big as this one turned out to be, it totally could have kickstarted all that and helped me get my foot in the door, so to speak. It would have helped me build a larger audience, draw more attention to my other work, and helped make it so that all my time and energy could be applied to doing what I love, and I felt like I was kind of robbed of that. The biggest slap to the face is that people don't even bother crediting the original creators. I mean, you're stealing their fucking content. The LEAST you could do is throw them a bone, and not doing so just adds insult to injury. What stings the most is that if they truly felt compelled to share something, they could EASILY just share a link to the original upload; it only takes a couple clicks. Instead, they go out of their way to rip the video, be it with a KZbin video converter or screen capture software, and present that shit as if they had done it. Shit like this needs to stop, and it's pretty upsetting that it likely never will. I've accepted the fact that I missed out on a great opportunity, but it's the principle of the thing that really drives me up the wall. What these people are doing is stealing, and that isn't cool.

youtube is probably somehow still profiting off this, otherwise they'd definitely have taken legal action against facebook for this

[@Lesics]

Watermarking 'KZbin Log + Channel url' at the corner of your video is a great way to prevent Facebook freebooting. We have started doing so. In this way the Facebook viewers will recognize that the video is originally from KZbin and to which channel it belongs to. For our latest video with the watermark, NO FACEBOOK FREEBOOTING so far :)

[@MattMzansi]

+Learn Engineering Yeah but it's easy to crop the logo out. It helps for these idiotic thieves that rip the video as is before editing. Just checked your videos and see you have a feint watermark in the middle. Think that's the only way to go sadly :(

[@Lesics]

+MattMzansi In fact, these LAZY FREEBOOTERS never do any kind of videos editing work. They just download and upload the videos. We have also put clear legal warning against Facebook uploading on our videos. So the freeboters get a clear message that, its illegal. As a result no freebooting so far :)

+Matthias Wandel There is no need to reupload it, you can simply share it directly from the youtube link it's much faster and of course positive for the original creator of the video.

All of that is true. But if you listened to the video he explained how Facebook algorithms favor native Facebook videos. I'm not saying I'm going to do it. lol. But posting this video natively to Facebook would most certainly be the FASTEST way to raise awareness. I think Matthias Wandel's point was he cares about the issue--and wants as many people as possible to hear about it as soon as possible. And thus it's tempting to use Facebook's clearly-unethical system to more rapidly disseminate the message.

[@cnj96]

[@MattMzansi]

+TobisamaAnimation That's the issue. This video currently sits at 1.4 Million views. If a page with a strong following uploaded it, it would DESTROY the 1.4 M mark in no time. That's the point, FB videos go way more viral more quicker than YT. Also, in my country people hate KZbin because it takes more time to go through a phone browser.

If KZbin actively advertises themselves as a site for original content, and is now leaning in the direction of allowing people to make MONEY from it, they should be putting in effort to make sure it's as hard as possible to steal original content. They can't expect to benefit from the hundreds of hours of work put in by creators and do nothing to protect that work.

I watermark and not to brag... But I made a viral editing vine and I've never seen anyone try to cover up my watermark.

Then put an annoying watermark on the video throughout the entire video that's so annoying to remove that it's a waste of time to do it. This could be a semi-transparent overlay covering the entire screen or something in the corner that can only be removed by cutting the video, which would be noticeable since some of the content would be missing.

Or you know... Watermark the intro and then say at the start of the video after the intro: Did you watch the intro?

copyright claim them?

[@epicgamer9643]

Put a watermark on your video that cannot be removed that says this video cannot be uploaded to facebook and gives the link to the original creator so people can easily call out a thief claiming stolen content
