There exists an Empire of short 4 Minecraft content which has gathered more views than dream and technoblade combined in just two weeks 500k is one billion views just growing channel in YouTube’s history some of them steal Creations from smaller creators on daily bases finding no credit for any of the Footage taken from other YouTubers exactly the same this is the Shady world of short Minecraft videos it was the start of 2021 and a fairly unknown Russian YouTuber built a small collection of YouTube channels he liked to call himself walkie and he posted everything from short Minecraft videos Short blocks and even a few music videos over the three year presents on YouTube he managed to publish over 250 videos and also managed to build an audience of An approximately 360 000 subscribers while everything seemed to be going according to plan it wouldn’t take long until this content Creator would transform his content beyond recognition meanwhile another content creator by the name Mega many started experimenting with the new content trend on YouTube which was short form videos starting with simple speed bridging and PVP content he eventually found himself in Minecraft meme style of videos the Videos were a massive success and he managed to publish one viral video after another he was uploading daily and soon he was gaining millions of views per day people began to notice the success of Mega many Voki was among those people and saw a huge opportunity so he Unlisted all of his videos on one channel and changed its name to Stevie on March 4th 2021 he published the first video on his new rebranded YouTube channel in order to make his new channel grow quicker he used Mega Man’s brand in the description to associate his content To Mega Man’s audience the plan worked flawlessly and in about one week’s time he went from getting 10 views per day to 10 million views per day at this point he overthrew Mega many in subscriber count after this it was just one Milestone after another 200 000 March 19th 500 000 March 25th 1 Million April 18th Stevie’s rapid growth created an avalanche of new creators who seeked opportunity to recreate his success one by one we got creators such as perking spectator Alexa reel and axel all of them doing similar style of content than Mega many and Stevie the more channels Joined the faster the total views grew publishing multiple videos every day inevitably leads to boring ideas from other content creators the problematic part became when some of these YouTubers started directly ripping others Creations often providing little and sometimes even worse no credit to the original Creator at all on September 2020 a Reddit user published this insane staircase design on r slash Minecraft and exactly one year later Alexa reel published two videos where this exact same concept was used with no credit to the author one of the most well-known cases was when Stevie copied one of Mambo’s designs but luckily Mambo Criticized Stevie for stealing his idea and so the video was unlisted by Stevie Minecraft modders such as mcmakistan have also had several of their builds taken by Stevie and others one of the examples being the bending piston while some of them at least stay the original Crater there are still a bunch of videos that do not mention the original Creator anywhere an interesting fact is also That these channels also massively copy content from one another as they see what works and what doesn’t when I was writing the script for this video I just couldn’t believe how similar these Videos are from one channel to another either they were almost identical match or the video was just slightly different in some small aspect this raises an interesting question what if all of those Channel owners are connected in some way it is also possible that channels like Stevie are ran by multiple Persons which would describe perfectly why they are using multiple Minecraft accounts and skins in their videos but we may never know for sure in October of 2021 I released a video where I showcased a working prototype for a video player in Minecraft in May of 2022 someone posted this exact same Concept already now I don’t know whether he reinvented this by accident or if he copied the video but nevertheless the video exploded in popularity on Reddit and sure enough a few days later Stevie copied the idea my original video now has 3 000 views while his video with the Same concept has 111 000 views in September of 2022 I released my biggest piston video ever and that video is currently sitting at 7 000 views up to this day Stevie took my world download and even part of my video his Recreation of my video has now 584 000 views plus another 78 000 on a short that he did about the same exact topic the reason why these events bother us content creators so much is because we often spend weeks or even months making some creations and tend to see someone just literally spending a few minutes Redoing your work and receiving 100 times more views well it is just unfair channels have now monetized their content but that wasn’t enough soon they began experimenting on other ways to earn even more Steve had tried selling merge as well as trying to sell any piece that would give you access to his Own Discord while Mega many capitalized his community tab where he promoted other smaller creators that were doing the exact same things even though these channels together have accumulated more than 5.5 billion views which today represents about a half a percent of all Minecraft views ever they are not really built on strong Foundation the YouTube algorithm that enabled these channels to grow one year ago is always changing and now they’re getting about 85 percent less views than they did at their Peak content creators are trying to make it harder for them to get the world downloads but the only way To put an end to this forever is to stop watching them and instead maybe check out this video Video Information
