we all share content on social media because it's public and that's what makes it great. memes, GIFs, jokes. but often times creators get shafted by parties that use their original content for profit without consent, credit, or payment. this problem needs to be addressed

platforms will use other people's original content to build an audience then start selling products to that audience. brands will use other people's original content to launch ads. journalists will use other people's original content to break a story. it's happening everywhere

the solution isn't clear because the freedom of sharing on social media is what makes it work. no one wants to pay to post memes or anything like that. but something needs to change in order to curb the exploitation happening to original content creators, whom we all benefit from

for starters, you can support more sources who post original content, rather than ones that aggregate it. follow some of our favorites:

I feel like this also kind of relates to the fiasco with Fortnite emotes and not paying the creators of those certain dances. However, just because someone made the move popular doesn't mean they created it. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack
