Something I never talk about is how 5 of my copycats reached 100k subs in just 3 months copying my series of videos in full from start to finish.

We've had a crazy amount of people copy our videos and go on to gain millions of views. They steal our voice work, thumbnail, and story. Sometimes videos that didn't perform well on our channel, skyrocket on theirs. I acknowledge a lot of the copycats are young. However, seeing them take credit for weeks/months of our hard work is beyond frustrating. The elevator test struggle is real.

Thanks for this guys! We definitely take inspiration from other channels, but you’re right, there’s a line not to cross. The elevator test is great 😂

I understand the ease of plagiarism on a platform like Instagram, you only have to screenshot and repost the art you like to steal it (for example). What I don't get is how someone can choose a video like Ryan's, conciously choose to remake the whole thing shot-for-shot, and not have any of their own personality in it? Like that's a LOT of effort to put into something. Even setting up the camera etc takes time. I don't know. I just think it's wild that someone can put so much into making something and not have a shred of originality within it. Or even just not hearing that voice in their head that tells them what they're doing is probably wrong.

I think this topic is really close to a lot of creators' hearts and there's a whole lot of unknowns that people need to decide. Thanks for the video!

the copy and paste culture, is usually from creators who overfixate on the numbers and monetization, whereas creators who create original work (by combining different sources they got inspired by), work for the long term, they actually give an f about the viewer and they are the ones who will truly succeed.

Amazing message and such beautiful graphics in this gents!

I love this! Austin's book 'Steal Like an Artist' has had a profound impact on my art journey, completely transforming the way I approach creativity. The concept of 'stealing' in the right way has empowered me to be more open to inspiration from various sources, while still maintaining my unique voice. Austin's guidance has helped me see that great art isn't created in a vacuum, but rather is a culmination of countless influences, remixed and reimagined through our own perspectives.

Fantastic video! Nice to see you guys back on

I'm so glad that y'all had such an amazing conversation with Austin about artistic originality and integrity, it's so crucial to have a deep understanding of this in an era where it's so easy to just do what's popular. Thanks for another banger of a video guys!

"The reason AI images look so uncannily good is that everything is so mediocre right now" - love this.

damn is it good to have a new main channel video, you guys and the team have knocked it out on the park on this one!

Glad to see you back on the main channel guys! Great guest and excellent book everyone should read. I think what this channel offers is a good reminder to older YouTubers for what they already know and new knowledge for a lot of the younger YouTubers who have never heard of these authors and artists. The whole thing about learning who your favorite artists favorite artist is, is one of the best tips for how to go back further for even deeper, richer inspiration.

I don't want to disregard the quality of your other uploads, but this is your best video by far. The style, the pacing, animations, interview, it's nuts

Brilliant. Copying isn’t creating and it isn’t even living. When you copy you carve no new paths, you say nothing new or noteworthy, and you don’t get to explore the bounds of your own ability.
Having said that, I am so early in my journey that I am trying to draw inspiration from many great creators. I hope I can find my own voice. Great video. Happy to be back watching the main channel!

As someone that’s in the middle of a major redirection of my content and finally seeing success with aligning what I WANT to share stories about and what at least some people WANT to watch, the idea of figuring out my own voice is front and centre of my mind right now.
So this video couldn’t have landed at a more perfect time.
And now I’m going to dive into New Wave YouTube to see what’s cooking over there.

Been running into this recently and have been thinking about this a lot. Glad you guys are diving into it!

ok!! I see you!!! I love how you guys are distinguishing your main channel content from your podcasts now held in creator support- I’m here for it!!

that ending monologue from Austin had me feeling like I was exiting the tunnel at the super bowl listening to “We Ready” by Archie Eversoul ft. Bubba Sparxxxx except instead of football it’s just my next YouTube video and instead of wearing shoulder pads I’m just in my boxers🔥
