I don’t believe them 😂 If they were being honest they would have responded before the copyright. You however are a class act. You were definitely nicer than you needed to be
Nothing worse than a thief/liar. They would put her face in _every video they make_ if she didn't agree. TH-cam, give her the money the thieving channel made on that video. "Sorry?" With a threat?! NO WAY!! 😮
Odd that a copyright strike was your only avenue of redress. Claiming that someone is dead when they are not seems like something else? Not sure its defamation, but its wrong.
Jewells, you are WAY too kind. There is ZERO chance they "didn't know" what their editor chose as the thumbnail. As a creator, it is literally your JOB to pay attention to everything, so I don't buy their claim. I would definitely have left that copyright strike on them. Most likely, they've done it to others. In any case, I love, LOVE your content, and I'm glad you put them on notice that their foul actions were not acceptable. Much love to you!!
I'm happy you were able to get this resolved. I think I would have left the copyright. I am glad you are okay and thank you for sharing on how to deal with getting your image removed.
People are insanely destructive on social media. It's shocking that these people do crap without a conscience. You're a good hearted soul and much more forgiving than I'd ever be in this lifetime.❤❤❤
I tried to report scam ad on Facebook with other famous person calming something, either money or something happened to them. Facebook response was that there was nothing wrong with the ad. So beware of that angle. At least TH-cam does something with this.
Holy shit. I mean, not gonna lie, I did get a little bit of a chuckle out of that jumpscare of a thumbnail solely because of how ridiculous and over the top it is with the big arrow pointing to your huge smiling face right in the middle, the circle pointing out the lava and the bloody cryptic "HER LAST PHOTO" caption, its all so chaotic and very on brand for run of the mill clickbait that I couldnt help but laugh (obviously knowing it wasnt true before even seeing the picture). But for real though, I'm very sorry this happened to you, and can't imagine how worried your friend must have been to come across that. You handled the situation about as gracefully as you could have. Much love and hope youre doing well ❤
I can understand laughing at it. After it was taken down, I laughed a little as well at the absurdness of this situation. Thanks for your kind words and much love to you too. ❤️
There are multiple channels claiming this or that famous person has died. The content farms behind these videos are only in it for a quick buck, if they get caught and have to take done one or more videos, no problem, they've made some money on an AI created video that took them maybe five minutes to create and another fifteen minutes to post with no effort on their other than to program their computers. They just don't want to have to give back any revenue. So, consider yourself famous enough to be part of this trend! Love your videos, I truly enjoy them, and I'm really glad you were not killed in a volcanic eruption, because I know that no one has been killed in one recently.
Double check with YT that you won’t be penalized for removing the strike. I know you can get in trouble for false strikes, just make sure you know how they make that determination. I’m glad you got that resolved. I understand how disturbing that must have been.
That is certainly something I considered before taking off the strike. In the email from TH-cam they have a link that says “if you change your mind, you can remove the strike here”. I think it is often the case that creators come to agreements and removing the strike is allowed without penalty on the person whose content was being infringed upon.
A lot of content creators will stop at nothing to gain engagement and viewers. As always, you are an example of excellence and professionalism; THIS is how you handle conflict, with respect and truth! Love you Jewels 🎉
Please stay safe! There are people who actually appreciate your videos and testimony. I’m glad you’re ok, authentically. Please keep the videos! It brightens my life and I appreciate your content.
Haven’t checked your channel in awhile….but hearing this I forgot thoughtful and positive your channel is. Your civil approach is a great example for the muck that is social media. That said: I’ve Turned on alerts to your channel…😊
oh, I'm so sorry to see that this has happened -- can only barely imagine how surreal it must feel. biggest of hugs from up here in the NW ♥ -- and just one more thought: no. regardless of whether someone is reliant on income from YT or has contractors/designers working for them or etc., if you publish something under your name, you are RESPONSIBLE for that -- no excuses. so whether the channel owner in question "knew" or it was an oversight or etc., it's utterly and completely on them, and wrong, and they should be required to do their due diligence in the future -- that's why it's CALLED "due diligence." it is DUE. it's a fairly basic minimum of care to others, and its absurd that they might think it should be brushed off as no big deal. they need to grow up and take responsibility.
Thank you and big hugs to you too! Yes, I agree that they did not do their due diligence and are probably just pumping out videos without much concern for who it might impact. Thanks for sharing your view on it, and safe travels!
Glad you could make them remove that! You totally deserve respect and I am sad it happened to you. Thanks for sharing this story, it’s great to know i can benefit from a protection from youtube in case of ! :)
Aww Jewells. That’s insane that this situation happened! How scary for you, your friends, your loved ones, your followers if they happened upon that misleading video thumbnail before you were alerted to the situation and were able to rectify it as calmly as you apparently did. Sheesh. And it’s very cool of you to share your story so others can be on the lookout and know some options for fixing a problem like this. You are indeed a jewel 💎, Jewells❣️ Much love!
Jewells, you have a lovely heart❣️It is true that holding animosity against another only hurts you. However, you are absolutely justified in protecting your image, intellectual property and brand. 💯 Regardless the other creator's true intentions, you responded in true Jewells' fashion, with dignity and kindness. RESPECT‼️✊🏼
Thank you for sharing , I didn't see the video that you are referring to but if I did it would have made me feel bad as I often enjoy watching your channel , I think you have done the right thing reporting them to TH-cam as they were sharing misinformation about you as well as using your image without your consent. There seems to be people using the eruptions to gain attention in a unpleasant scary way.
Proud of you for sticking up for yourself! Also kudos to TH-cam for their actions. I would keep watch over the people that used your image. Luckily, your fans worry about you!!!
So so sorry this happened! Crazy stuff. I have been following you when my family travelled to Iceland and can’t imagine anyone doing such a horrible thing to you.
OY!😧 Agree with the comments- very happy you are alive and well, you are way too kind, and thank you for you showing others what to do if they're ever in a similar situation. It does beg the question, though, of how images are sourced and validated on YT, and whether additional guardrails are needed.
You shouldn’t have removed your copyright strike. They just did the same thing to another influencer in another video posted 14 hours ago. Their channel is literally about spreading misinformation for clicks.
Yes, she shouldn’t feel obligated to be nice and accommodating all the time. Even the email was probably written by ChatGPT. If they were on the level one strike wouldn’t hurt them in the long run
Thank you! I got this sweater from The Icelandic Store. They don’t normally sell it but if you show them this sweater, they can make one for you too. 😊
@ Thank you! I had a long layover in Iceland in 1979 on my way to Paris on my senior class trip. Back then it was literally just a very small country with an international airport with a nice duty free shop. I did purchase some sweaters but they are, of course, lost to time. I am going on the store’s website now. Thank you. I very much enjoy your videos of Iceland. The country is breathtaking and my husband and I have it on our bucket list. As I tell my nieces who are your age, live your life!
hello jewel........happy you are fine😊😊😊. however , you dropped the ball on this one . you should have maintained , the strike . what was done , was done deliberately and the content creator , should have been held accountable . chances are , they'll pick out another victim. again , happy you're fine , thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰..............
I actually saw this thumbnail turn up in my feed and I said 'WUT!? That's Jewells!' It was quickly apparent that it was straight-up BS, but I never thought anyone would be able to get it taken down. Good job!
What are right of publicity laws like in Iceland? Are there laws outside of copyright that protect one’s name, image, and likeness? If someone does this again, you could go after them for both copyright infringement and violating your right of publicity.
Dear Jewells, I agree with the other followers that you are essentially too nice for your own good. Why would you feel obligated in any way to strike your copyright whether or not the party that used your image did so innocently. I am afraid that others might take advantage of you in the future, and you definitely do not deserve that! The technology that exists now is a blessing and a curse. The internet and social media have unfortunately brought out the worst in some people, and society is becoming more and more corrupted by those folks. I feel a lot of love for you, and I want you to be able to go on living your best life. Your videos always show what a lovely person you are. I am a great fan of yours. Take care and keep them coming❣
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Sandra. I think this is an interesting experience for me that helps me to be better prepared for what I would do if something like this were to happen again. I appreciate your concern. ❤️
_Hi "Jewells in Iceland" (more fun than Emily/Paris!) I haven't looked at your channel in far too long, but thank you for the reminder to follow you again. Oh, & that thief LIED._ ✌️🔥
Whether they knew or didn't know about the information being false, they are 100 percent responsible for what they post. It was callous and totally wrong that they posted what they did. That causes anxiety among your loved ones and can damage the value of the channel you have worked so hard to create. There are so many arrogant self-seekers unleashed in the economy of today. They to cheat and apologize their way out of trouble later. That's not genuinely apologizing. As others have said, you have shown remarkable class and composure in handling this. And that makes me admire your work even more, Jewells!
Even if you were kind to them and haven’t taken the issue further, one can always hope that they are now flagged by you tube, and it probably won’t bode well for them if they are caught again stealing someone else’s image or work. Love your videos of Iceland. One day you should visit Iceland’s closest neighbor to the west, the big blob of ice between Canada and Iceland. Greenland 🇬🇱 is a very beautiful country. It’s quite different from Iceland, except maybe the northeastern part of Iceland which I found, shares many similarities to Greenland. We have direct flights between Reykjavik and Nuuk, the capital of Greenland pop. 20,000, several times a week. 😊
I recognize the thumbnail style but I can't recall the name of the creator. I wanna say Mattew Santago but I don't think he does those kinds of videos anymore.
Yeah, no. If you are a content creator and this is your supposed livelihood then you need to take accountability for what you produce. There is no way this person didn’t know who you are Jewells, they were using you as clickbait and I would not have taken down the copyright strike. There is a 100% chance that they will do this again to another more influential creator.
I'm working my way through a few videos. I don't much care for travel, but there are a few countries I will visit. Estonia and Iceland are a couple I am considering for 2025. When is the best time to visit for a few days?
You are the first regular… normal person I have come across who has been misused and abused. And announced as having died. That happens to celebs all the time. I have seen videos saying so-and-so (a famous person) has died and when I checked it out, it turned out to be fake. Totally fake. This is a cheap trick to get views and to boost their account. I’m glad you put in a complaint!!
@ I live in Japan and a number of American TH-camrs of the not very nice sort have come to Japan and done all kinds of tricks to get views. Not very nice things like riding the long distance trains for free and trying to get away with it. They didn’t. One was put in jail for three months. Another American TH-camr of not very nice vibe is now facing 29 years in jail in Korea for all kinds of bad things that he has done to get views. That was on the national news here. So I think there are a lot of people out there who don’t care what they do but if it gets views they’re OK with it. And that TH-cam allows this to happen with these criminal elements is really shocking. I am glad you took action and stood up for yourself! And I don’t think you should take down that strike at all. But that’s just my opinion. That person is acting nice and apologizing but you don’t know if it’s true. The American in Korea who’s facing the long jail term said that whenever he gets in trouble he just says sorry and then he gets away with it. And he also said that he didn’t care what he did as long as it got views.
Smh only on the enternet. Toxic. I would understand if this was a drama channel. Which it is not. And no one deserves this. Glad it got resolved. In the future. Hopefully others will learn from this.
Jewells - you would have been perfectly within your rights to be tougher with these people. Did any of your loved ones get a scare before the video was taken down?
Being a big horror nerd, I unfortunately tend to get a lot of those lurid "tOp FiVe mOsT DiStUrBiNg tHiNgAmAjIgS" videos show up in recommendations, and honestly my gaze tends slip over these days. I do love the absolute power move of turning up in the comments of that trashy little content mill and being like "oi! I'm not dead!" :p
I am sorry that happened to you but I would have left the copyright strike because you just don't post things for clicks stating someone is dead without verifying that information is accurate.
Claiming you died ironically could get killed because you could be denied healthcare. You could also not be able to access your bank account because your bank thinks you are dead. There are so many very essential services people access with their identity that without them can create very dire circumstances. Therefore this type of slander should have a heavier punishment. I think you should take them to court. It could have caused real damage to your life and well being.
And then they made the image so lurid with blood all over, etc. Gross and tacky! This might be kind of random, but I saw your sweater and I wondered if you made it yourself. My grama had knitted one of these sweaters for me when I was a child. It was turquoise, which was radical at the time as traditional colors were usually used. I love the pink, and the design is so fabulous. So sorry this happened to you, you are so vibrant, a great story teller, and the sweater looks lovely on you. I think Iceland is an incredible place.
Yes, I forgot to mention the blood. Oh, goodness! I didn’t knit the sweater but I did ask for this design to be made with those specific colors. It’s awesome that your grandma made you a similar one when you were a child. ❤️Thank you!
Without knowing for sure it sounds like a channel that’s a click farm. I don’t think all creators are alike. Sure, they may be making a living off of it, but clearly they’re making a living off spreading misinformation and telling stories that are manufactured to fear monger and make people believe things that aren’t true. Personally have a background in journalism I find this practice to be unethical
TH-camrs are just making stories up for views nowadays. Theres HUGE true crime channels that make up ridiculous stories with AI pictures of madeup victims and offenders and people completely eat it up. During 30min and more and they just keep showing the same pics over and over. Usually head shots. It's super weird that people dont fact check anything anymore.
The joy of being a public figure. Sad you have to deal with these situations. Otherwise I always enjoy your upbeat content. One day I'll use some of the information in your videos and actually get to visit Iceland. And get a Lopapeysa!
think you handled it well. tend to agree about taking them at their word...even just for own mental states...hopefully they'll rethink their 'strategy' though, cause even if it was an outside designer, in the end they approved and posted the vibe of it 🤮
That youtuber is very irresponsible. How about if your relatives or friends see that youtu er's without having contact with you recently? That is a stupid youtuber
Henry Cavill posted his wikipedia screenshot on Facebook many years ago with the caption "when you find out you died 2 days ago". Basically, someone modified his wikipedia page. 😅
Most people are making content for YT because they really love the subject they are posting about and are great lovely people in general and open to admit and correct things if they make a mistake. However, I believe, there is a group of evil people just making content for the money. They don't care what they are posting, as long is it generates views so they get money out of it. Making false acquisitions and/or spreading fake information doesn't care to them as clickbait just is more money for them. I think that channel is just a member of that second group. And for the record, yes I think ATI is a member of the group of lovely people.
Aww, thank you for the compliment. I agree that there are far too many channels on here that purely do this for clicks and money. It’s unfortunate that they don’t have a better moral compass but I do think their actions will catch up with them. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
the email they sent you is a complete lie on their part. if their designer is that bad why do they keep them around cos at this point i believe every thumbnail they have is stealing someone's image. there is another one i definitely know of that scared me when i saw it as i watch the guy a lot. thankfully he is ok, like yourself but in my opinion that channel (untamed) needs to be stopped.
I don’t believe them 😂
If they were being honest they would have responded before the copyright. You however are a class act. You were definitely nicer than you needed to be
😂 I am skeptical of what they wrote too but I have no way of proving it. Aww, thanks.
Nothing worse than a thief/liar. They would put her face in _every video they make_ if she didn't agree. TH-cam, give her the money the thieving channel made on that video. "Sorry?" With a threat?! NO WAY!! 😮
Odd that a copyright strike was your only avenue of redress. Claiming that someone is dead when they are not seems like something else? Not sure its defamation, but its wrong.
@@momoe.4075 yeah, I would have waited at least a week after they took the thumbnail down. Just out of spite.
@@1dkappe It's libel / slander to do so, and potentially pursuable by law.
Jewells, you are WAY too kind. There is ZERO chance they "didn't know" what their editor chose as the thumbnail.

Thanks for sharing your opinion about it and I agree that their excuse sounds fishy.
Much love to you too. ❤️
Very creepy. Glad you're well, and glowing.
Agreed and thank you! 🥰
I'm glad you let us know that people on TH-cam do things like this and that there is something that can be done about it.
Glad you found it helpful 😊
I'm happy you were able to get this resolved. I think I would have left the copyright. I am glad you are okay and thank you for sharing on how to deal with getting your image removed.
Thank you! Yes, I totally understand keeping the strike. It’s my pleasure to share and I hope it helps someone else if this situation comes up again.
I bet they change it back. Keep an eye on the thumbnail of that video.
People are insanely destructive on social media. It's shocking that these people do crap without a conscience. You're a good hearted soul and much more forgiving than I'd ever be in this lifetime.❤❤❤
So true about what some people do without thinking.
Thanks! ❤️

Oh no! Sorry to hear that FB did nothing. 😢
@@AllThingsIceland I think that its their standard. Its awful and Facebook does not care in the slightest.
@@jonfrYeah, I personally know a person that was used in a scam ad on facebook and still facebook did nothing when that person complained
I think TH-cam is better from that point of view. I stopped using Facebook because of the scam ads

Agreed 😅
What the actual heck. Why would someone do that? Good that you got this resolved!
Good question and thanks.
Happy you are OK and have resolved the issue but how disturbing😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
That is horrible what gets into speechless glad you took care of of business 😊😊😊❤❤❤Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️
Whether they knew or didn't know about the information being false, they are 100 percent responsible for what they post. It was callous and totally wrong that they posted what they did. That causes anxiety among your loved ones and can damage the value of the channel you have worked so hard to create. There are so many arrogant self-seekers unleashed in the economy of today. They to cheat and apologize their way out of trouble later. That's not genuinely apologizing.
As others have said, you have shown remarkable class and composure in handling this. And that makes me admire your work even more, Jewells!
Thank you for this information in regard to working with Google/TH-cam. ❤
Hugs, Jewells!! You are awesome! Miro tus videos desde Panama! We love you!!!
Aww, thank you. Lots of love to you too 🤗❤️
Glad you're OK.
Thank you 😊
You are so professional!
Aww, thank you
Shout out to Jenny! I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm glad everything is okay❤
Thanks. Yes, Jenny is awesome! ❤️
you did it in a very polite way.
🤗❤️
Even if you were kind to them and haven’t taken the issue further, one can always hope that they are now flagged by you tube, and it probably won’t bode well for them if they are caught again stealing someone else’s image or work. Love your videos of Iceland.
One day you should visit Iceland’s closest neighbor to the west, the big blob of ice between Canada and Iceland. Greenland 🇬🇱 is a very beautiful country. It’s quite different from Iceland, except maybe the northeastern part of Iceland which I found, shares many similarities to Greenland. We have direct flights between Reykjavik and Nuuk, the capital of Greenland pop. 20,000, several times a week. 😊
Yes, I hope TH-cam is keeping an eye on them too.
I’ve been fortunate to visit Greenland twice. It’s beautiful 😊
LOL What in the World??? Clickbait is out of control.
lol right?! Totally unnecessary 😂
You are way too kind! 😂I think they knew and probably did it before. I believe the copyright strike should have remained as a lesson to be honest.
😂 Yea, I’ll think twice before doing that again. Hopefully, I don’t have to.
@ 💚💚💚
Thank you for trusting your judgment, if they were lying, they’ll have to deal with it and maybe stop doing that.
That’s exactly how I feel too. I think they will end up with much bigger issues than a copyright strike if they continue doing this.
Thankfully,you addressed before I saw it.
Glad to know you protected your rights! And that you are safe!
I recognize the thumbnail style but I can't recall the name of the creator. I wanna say Mattew Santago but I don't think he does those kinds of videos anymore.
I think they are probably imitating his thumbnail style
Iceland wouldn't have been the same without you, Jewells 😄
🥹❤️
Hello,
I am happy to see your beautiful face. I have one question. I thought that you dyed your hair red?
Thanks! I used a filter to see what my hair would look like if it were red. 😂
Wow, technology is amazing.
That is really messed up!
Agreed
wow this is unreal!! 😮
Agreed 🤯
Yeah, no. If you are a content creator and this is your supposed livelihood then you need to take accountability for what you produce. There is no way this person didn’t know who you are Jewells, they were using you as clickbait and I would not have taken down the copyright strike. There is a 100% chance that they will do this again to another more influential creator.
I appreciate you sharing your view on it. I hope they don’t do it again but it’s likely that they will. 😕
I'm working my way through a few videos. I don't much care for travel, but there are a few countries I will visit. Estonia and Iceland are a couple I am considering for 2025. When is the best time to visit for a few days?
Ok, great. Late June, July or August. 😊
You are the first regular… normal person I have come across who has been misused and abused.
And announced as having died. That happens to celebs all the time.
I have seen videos saying so-and-so (a famous person) has died and when I checked it out, it turned out to be fake. Totally fake.
This is a cheap trick to get views and to boost their account.
I’m glad you put in a complaint!!
It is indeed a cheap trick and I wonder if they thought no one would notice.
@ I live in Japan and a number of American TH-camrs of the not very nice sort have come to Japan and done all kinds of tricks to get views. Not very nice things like riding the long distance trains for free and trying to get away with it. They didn’t.
One was put in jail for three months.
Another American TH-camr of not very nice vibe is now facing 29 years in jail in Korea for all kinds of bad things that he has done to get views. That was on the national news here. So I think there are a lot of people out there who don’t care what they do but if it gets views they’re OK with it. And that TH-cam allows this to happen with these criminal elements is really shocking.
I am glad you took action and stood up for yourself! And I don’t think you should take down that strike at all. But that’s just my opinion. That person is acting nice and apologizing but you don’t know if it’s true. The American in Korea who’s facing the long jail term said that whenever he gets in trouble he just says sorry and then he gets away with it. And he also said that he didn’t care what he did as long as it got views.
insaneeeee those channels are getting out of hand
Indeed 😅
Smh only on the enternet. Toxic. I would understand if this was a drama channel. Which it is not. And no one deserves this. Glad it got resolved. In the future. Hopefully others will learn from this.
Thank you and I hope so too!
Unbelievable! OMG!
Right?! 🤯
Jewells - you would have been perfectly within your rights to be tougher with these people. Did any of your loved ones get a scare before the video was taken down?
Being a big horror nerd, I unfortunately tend to get a lot of those lurid "tOp FiVe mOsT DiStUrBiNg tHiNgAmAjIgS" videos show up in recommendations, and honestly my gaze tends slip over these days. I do love the absolute power move of turning up in the comments of that trashy little content mill and being like "oi! I'm not dead!" :p
😂
Wow!!!
Indeed
Didn't watch the video yet but that's an insane title omg
What’s more insane is that it’s true 😂
Oh no 😮that’s terrible especially with your family so far away.
It was not pleasant but at least it is over.
I am sorry that happened to you but I would have left the copyright strike because you just don't post things for clicks stating someone is dead without verifying that information is accurate.
have you seen the internet lately...? 😅
Yea, it’s certainly not a nice or ethical thing to do.
Claiming you died ironically could get killed because you could be denied healthcare. You could also not be able to access your bank account because your bank thinks you are dead. There are so many very essential services people access with their identity that without them can create very dire circumstances. Therefore this type of slander should have a heavier punishment. I think you should take them to court. It could have caused real damage to your life and well being.
And then they made the image so lurid with blood all over, etc. Gross and tacky! This might be kind of random, but I saw your sweater and I wondered if you made it yourself. My grama had knitted one of these sweaters for me when I was a child. It was turquoise, which was radical at the time as traditional colors were usually used. I love the pink, and the design is so fabulous. So sorry this happened to you, you are so vibrant, a great story teller, and the sweater looks lovely on you. I think Iceland is an incredible place.
Yes, I forgot to mention the blood. Oh, goodness!
I didn’t knit the sweater but I did ask for this design to be made with those specific colors. It’s awesome that your grandma made you a similar one when you were a child. ❤️Thank you!
Some people are so weird. Thats some bad karma they are putting death on people. Smh.
Agreed. I don’t think they can continue to keep doing this without consequences.
Without knowing for sure it sounds like a channel that’s a click farm. I don’t think all creators are alike. Sure, they may be making a living off of it, but clearly they’re making a living off spreading misinformation and telling stories that are manufactured to fear monger and make people believe things that aren’t true. Personally have a background in journalism I find this practice to be unethical
That’s a very good point and something I’ll keep in mind if something like this pops up again. Yes, it’s very unethical.
This is creepy!! I hadn’t seen it before but was never in any doubt you were alive 😄 Otherwise I would have known it already 😉
😂
That's BANANAS.
You're being far too kind.
Agreed.
I like to give the benefit of the doubt.
Some people have no shame. So many rogue channels. I hope you are not too upset😮
Thanks. No, I’m not that upset especially since TH-cam acted on it.
TH-camrs are just making stories up for views nowadays. Theres HUGE true crime channels that make up ridiculous stories with AI pictures of madeup victims and offenders and people completely eat it up. During 30min and more and they just keep showing the same pics over and over. Usually head shots. It's super weird that people dont fact check anything anymore.
Totally agree
The joy of being a public figure. Sad you have to deal with these situations. Otherwise I always enjoy your upbeat content. One day I'll use some of the information in your videos and actually get to visit Iceland. And get a Lopapeysa!
Glad you enjoy my content and I hope you do visit Iceland in the near future. 😊
think you handled it well. tend to agree about taking them at their word...even just for own mental states...hopefully they'll rethink their 'strategy' though, cause even if it was an outside designer, in the end they approved and posted the vibe of it 🤮
Thanks and agree. 😊
Definitely makes me question that channel and all of their thumbnails. They are all like that.
Agreed! So many images of people used who might have no idea that their image is associated with something terrible.
glad I didn't see that
Likewise 😊
That youtuber is very irresponsible. How about if your relatives or friends see that youtu er's without having contact with you recently? That is a stupid youtuber
Agreed and that was my main concern.
What in the world!
Right?! Some people do bizarre things.
Oh my gosh! Designer? Whoever they are will continue to allow their "designer" to infringe upon the rights of others for personal, monetary gain. 🤨
Yea, it’s possible the designer was used as a scapegoat.
Henry Cavill posted his wikipedia screenshot on Facebook many years ago with the caption "when you find out you died 2 days ago". Basically, someone modified his wikipedia page. 😅
😂😂😭😭
Most people are making content for YT because they really love the subject they are posting about and are great lovely people in general and open to admit and correct things if they make a mistake. However, I believe, there is a group of evil people just making content for the money. They don't care what they are posting, as long is it generates views so they get money out of it. Making false acquisitions and/or spreading fake information doesn't care to them as clickbait just is more money for them. I think that channel is just a member of that second group.
And for the record, yes I think ATI is a member of the group of lovely people.
Aww, thank you for the compliment.
I agree that there are far too many channels on here that purely do this for clicks and money. It’s unfortunate that they don’t have a better moral compass but I do think their actions will catch up with them. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
the email they sent you is a complete lie on their part. if their designer is that bad why do they keep them around cos at this point i believe every thumbnail they have is stealing someone's image. there is another one i definitely know of that scared me when i saw it as i watch the guy a lot. thankfully he is ok, like yourself but in my opinion that channel (untamed) needs to be stopped.
the other person i am talking about, who's image was stolen is the channel imbrandonfarris
Whoa, it sucks to hear that they are doing this to other creators. Thanks for letting me know.
😯🥰
😊
People do anything for attention 🙄Hey, that means you've made it!
😂😂
