I want to say a big thank you to EVOL for attending various events and sharing moments from them with us.
And I also want to extend a huge thank you to those who create subtitles for event videos in any language.
Thank you ๐ค
the issue here is taking someone elseโs 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 theyโre 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 weโre supposed to think thatโs okay because the watermark is still there?
keeping the watermark is the bare minimum. it doesnโt change the fact that people are interacting with your post instead of the original creatorโs post. if anything, the watermark just proves you knew exactly who made it.
the โnot everyone can attend the concertโ excuse also doesnโt make much sense to me.
not everyone can afford to travel. does that mean i can take a travel content creatorโs vlog, reupload them on my own account, and say iโm just helping people who canโt 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 ๐คข
