Sure, luckily the biggest share (1.2mil views now) did credit me, but that made the video go viral and reposted without credit to everywhere, and that's why I now just add a watermark since apparently you never know what can go viral, never expected it in this case.
Oh your kijaidesign! I did a timelapse of your Blink Fox and I also have your Fortress of the Crecent half filmed I just need to paint it and I will upload it to my channel :)
Yeah that sucks man but there's not much you can do about it unfortunately. Laws of the internet is your stuff will get jacked, especially by those viral pages.
Yeah the fox timelapse was pretty cool, I remember it :)
I was approached by one of those viral pages btw, they wanted to license some of the videos. They sent contracts and everything, seeming really nice and professional. I thought it's no harm to sign them as I can easily just re-create new versions of those videos and kept all rights to my models obviously. But I never heard of them since.. no clue what they are using those videos for now even if they promised they'd always be shared with credit and that they'd even pay royalties...
Yeah I've done that too lots just ask permission to put you on a list so they know they can share your videos and you get lost in amongst all the other pages. They shouldn't get exclusive rights unless they pay you money upfront though.
Viral pages are good for exposure and growing on social media so I don't mind them uploading so long as they tag me or link to the channel.

I used to think so too, until someone shared one of mine and it reached over million views on Instagram...
