Recently, I've noticed a very slight shift in vtuber-clipper relations. Some VTubers seem to want to control what and how they're clipped. To be clear; all clips of you are good for your growth. Obviously this is DSP, so there's a critical thinking debuf, but these "live thieves" (clippers)... are spreading your content further and to a wider audience than you can possibly reach on your own. For free. You are not paying them to do this. IF you "lose money" from them getting ad revenue that you MAAAAAAYBE would have gotten some of; the trade off is advertisement/reach of your content, the likes of which huge corporations spend millions on. Yes, even the "bad ones" who clip out of context, or clip your react videos, or edit your Try Not to Laugh segments or whatever help you grow and reach new people. 14 clippers will upload CaseOh's reacts before he does, he still mogs them in views. When Filian was around, there was like 5 of us that would edit and post her TNTL segments and get like 10K-100K+ views, she would post it, still mog us... If the clipper gets more views than your video, the trade-off in ad rev is much wider reach. These are not all views that you WOULD HAVE gotten. The same way that people who watch reactions would not have necessarily watched the original. In this specific case, if DSP had no clippers, he would have no more content creation career.show more

If someone clips me that would be so awful . I truly hate when people make content so I don't have t- I mean...clip me without my knowledge 😔

Not every VTuber is about "Reach". and "Maximum profit" Some VTuber like me want to just enjoy my time on my livestream with my community. I even turned off public clips in my channel and most vod´s are turned off. As clipper you should always look if a VTuber is ok that there content is used. Never say to someone "But you get reach". If someone says NO to be clipped you have to accept it delete all clips and move on. You shouldn´t have them in the first place if you did not got the consent. Consent is importent.

Yeah, only like 99% of them. If you turn off clips and vods, then yeah, you won't get clipped. It's unrealistic to expect every clipper to ask every vtuber before clipping them. That's not how it's ever been in vtubing and if you think that, I'm sorry but you must be pretty new here. If they ask you not to or to take it down after, then yes, obviously you listen. This is an ABSURDLY RARE instance.

Stream since 3 Years and yeah sadly it is not like that, because it is not allowed to do and you risk always as cliper a lawsuit if you are unlucky. I have to ask so often people to take my stuff down it´s annyoing.

Critical thinking debuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The only times clips are bad if something happens by mistake such as a face reveal / self dox or whatever. Other than that as long as you credit the creator/vtuber most would love to have someone clip them

Yes. That is fair 100%

There was a saying, "In showbiz, there's no such thing as bad press." That's not as airtight as it was in the 1940s. But for streamers, unless you did something off the charts ugly, "There are no bad clips."

As a former clipper I would be hypocritical to belive other wise.But I also heard that some girls like bad girls… So if they ask, I hate clippers!! But to all others you’re free to clip me I love when I get clipped! ❤️😜

my best performing clips are almost always the ones where something embarrassing happens 😅

I'll take any clips as long as it not just my burps haha

Some streamers, like Bao for example, have a 24 hour restriction on clips, that I think works really well. But also, some clippers are actually very disrespectful to the intimacy of streamers and go against their wishes. The streamer should be able to stop them somehow.

Yeah, I just think setting any restrictions will usually just deter most clippers from even trying. Not a lot of clippers want to or will see any of those rules, so they will probably just not bother.

You know, Numi did something where she simply called out the bad actors and highlighted the ones she considers good “clippers.” Mouse did something similar. That should be enough, but people keep watching those clippers anyway. idk

Yeah, the bad actors wont stop if you ask, the nice ones aren't usually clipping in bad faith, so it's a tough situation there. But also, those clippers were like straight up lying and like AI clip farming or whatever. I'm talking about clippers who actually enjoy the content for real.

In those cases I see it as a win win, it's good for everybody

if they get clipped they complain if they dont get clipped they complain it's a lose lose for clippers! I love the ones i have, i always try to give them credit with helping me clip stuff!

people really crying about losing some views on a platform that does hundreds of billions of views a day is crazy work

damn it, I couldnt get to this one fast enough

All publicity is good publicity.

DSP doesn't understand that if clipper didn't get ad rev they wouldn't make those clips lmao

Most small creators are DREAMING about people clipping them and posting the clips for free.

Don't think newer VTubers realize how much clipping made VTubing grow. I doubt Hololive would have grown as fast as they did without the clippers & translators sharing them globally

Imo the easiest thing to do is just put it in their stream rules to not clip them and that if you do you'll be asked to take the clip down in the future. Personally think it's fair to not want to be clipped, but its daft to expect people to not do it with no prior heads up.

Man, sometimes it's hard to even HEAR DSP speak xD

Do you reckon he wanted to make a short of this? xD

LOL maybe

I have no issue with clippers, I think they're definitely beneficial in helping people grow!

he wouldn't even know what is funny or catchy or anything like that he's so much of a loser that is better off having someone else do the work for him then him do it himself cuz you know he'll never find it

yes, but as stupid as DSP is there is no doubt he understands this dynamic and activelly plays into it

It's a fun topic, does fair use work, nope. Can you argue you have an "implied licence" yes, if streamer allows other (non paid) clippers.ContentID, too big for 99% of streamers without agency. DMCA can get you bad rep fast. Best way is having paid or rev share clippers honestly.

Really hoping the monkey paw curls for people like DSP honestly
