**Title:** The Struggles of a YouTube Animator with Content Theft and Monetization
**Key Points:**
1. **Content Theft:** A YouTube animator's video was stolen and re-posted on Facebook without permission, earning the thief more money than the creator.
2. **Monetization Issues:** YouTube's monetization system favors videos with high engagement, making it challenging for animators with resource-intensive, low-view content to earn a living.
3. **Facebook vs. YouTube:** Facebook's platform facilitates content theft (known as "freebooting"), while YouTube has stricter content protection and moderation policies.
4. **Creator's Frustration:** Despite having 10,000 subscribers, the animator earns significantly below average ($65/million views) due to these issues and feels undervalued by YouTube's system.
5. **Call to Action:** The creator hints at needing support for their animated content to reach a broader audience on YouTube, highlighting the struggles of independent animators on the platform.
