Got caught plagiarizing? That implies I was knowingly trying to make money off of someone else's work. That couldn't be further from the truth, but that's the reason they gave me yeah. I copied/pasted game descriptions under my videos just like I've been doing my entire YT career and what others on YT do as well. It's such a small part of the post that I never really thought about it, I just carried on like I've always done and focused on the videos themselves.

If you see copying game descriptions under my videos as plagiarizing then I'm the worst criminal on the crypto sphere for sure and HW made sure I got punished for it. Then you have to crawl, beg and jump through hoops in the hopes that maybe they'll stop. It's demeaning. Just a simple "Hey, you shouldn't do that." type of message should've sufficed. I could continue just posting videos without any text of course, but it did open my eyes for how one entity can enforce some arbitrary rules on people or else.

Like, it's actually worse than YT in that regard. I can't recommend Hive to most of the other youtubers I know simply because they're used to having copy/pasted text somewhere in their descriptions. That's such a BS rule someone made up.

As a youtuber Hive just isn't good enough. People need a place they can continue doing what they're already doing on centralized social media platforms, but without the fear of being punished for it. Hive's the opposite.
