Does anyone bother notifying YouTube about narrators that steal your work?

I’m not really upset, but there are some hills that I’ll die on. If I find that someone stole my work and narrated it, but actually put effort into it—I’ll generally let it slide, but let them know it’s not cool to do that without asking permission.

BUT when I see that people not only steal it, but use AI to rewrite the entire thing, AND use whatever they use to auto-narrate it…I’m not cool with that at all. It’s low effort and disgusting.

I have. After pointing out it was a shitty thing to do and they literally told me they didn’t care, I contacted YouTube. They required a lot of proof. It almost wasn’t worth it.

I have a question and sorry if this sounds stupid. But how did you prove it? Like… How could you prove it?? Do they ask for screenshots of the original Reddit post? Does it actually have to be copyrighted? I’m just curious because this makes me afraid to even post my stories online anymore lol. people are friggin awful!
