the issue here is taking someone else’s work, reposting it on your own account, and then benefiting from the engagement while the original creator gets little to nothing from it.
do people even realise what goes into getting a single fancam?
many fans spend thousands on tickets, flights, hotels, transportation, and equipment. some take annual leave. some sacrifice unpaid leave. some rent expensive lenses. some even rent the latest phones specifically for concerts. they carry all that gear around, queue for hours, attend the show, then spend more hours editing and uploading afterwards.
all that efforts just for their fancam to get a few hundred views, maybe a few thousand if they’re lucky.
then someone else downloads it, makes an edit, uploads it on their own account, and suddenly gets all the engagement from content they did not film, did not pay for, and did not spend hours creating.
and somehow we’re supposed to think that’s okay because the watermark is still there?
keeping the watermark is the bare minimum. it doesn’t change the fact that people are interacting with your post instead of the original creator’s post. if anything, the watermark just proves you knew exactly who made it.
the “not everyone can attend the concert” excuse also doesn’t make much sense to me.
not everyone can afford to travel. does that mean i can take a travel content creator’s vlog, reupload them on my own account, and say i’m just helping people who can’t visit that place themselves? no. the vlogger is perfectly capable of sharing their own work.
welp the same applies to fancams.
in 2026, almost everyone has their own social media account. the original uploader does not need someone else to repost their content on their behalf. if your goal is genuinely to help people see it, then share the original post, retweet it, quote it, or direct people to the source.
supporting creators means helping people find the original work, not turning yourself into the middleman 🤢
kindly retweet 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
‼️please be careful if you’re thinking to use this shop for any of the upcoming ticketing events because they failed to get me the tickets for #LOLFanFest2026 (which is totally fine and understandable) BUT THE FAILURE TO REFUND THE MONEY ON TIME AS THEY PROMISED IS NOT SOMETHING TOLERABLE. full story in the thread below ⬇️
