  • Unfortunately, this is one of the struggles of having of social media. It's far too common. But this imposter really rubbed me the wrong way - stealing my profile photo, name and content...but also stealing content from another creator - with MY NAME! Please report this page if you are on TikTok. I am not on TikTok so anything there for me is fake.

    FYI - tic tok’s days may be numbered. Congress may ban tik tok after Jan. I really don’t care since I don’t use it. Very Sad that some people don’t use their own God given talents but instead feel the need to steal those who are. Keep up the good work, Britta!👏

    A good part of why I like you and CC is because you both seem very transparent, straight forward, and honest in your communications. Anyone who follows you regularly would recognize the difference between your unique styles and an imposter eventually, I'd think. But I don't do social media at all, just RUclips. TikTok is not an atmosphere I want to be in. When I want to say I think someone is full of horsecrap, I say they got their degree from TikTok University.

    I saw earlier this week in a SHORT that CC posted-----she called out the Thief, and explained that You and She are both the victims here. I have been subscribed to both your channel, CCs, (and other horse-related channels as well) for over a year. EVERYONE knows that Clever Cowgirl is in Montana and Project Equestrian is in Vermont. I have BOYCOTTED TIK-TOK from its inception. One, because it's just good to Limit social media, period, and Two, because I read an article that Tik-Tok is out of China and that users will be running a high risk of Hackers, having that app. No one who has been a fan of yours or Clever Cowgirl's content would ever think you capable of theft. But Thank You for making this statement video. We live in a World that is run by Dark Souls, spreading confusion and disinformation----and nasty little bits of chaos, whenever they get a chance. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL AND YOUR HORSES AND YOUR FAMILY. BLESS*BLESS*BLESS.

  • @jasperstarr6804
    @jasperstarr6804 Месяц назад +2

    If I may say so - I think that, in this environment, every content creator needs to create an account on every single social media platform - whether they really want to participate there or not - in self defense. That would prevent someone else from usurping your identity like what happened to you. You would not need to actively participate on any platforms that don't interest you, just login once every couple of weeks, maybe post something occasionally.
    You might also consider embedding a watermark in your content that associates it with "The Project Equestrian", and you might need to put it someplace so that it would still show up if someone cropped larger format video down to a smaller (phone-sized) format. That would help you re-claim your content if some thief tries to steal your content and post in some account with some other name.
    I'm really sorry this happened to you - there are many such victims out there, and you happen to be among them. And BTW - FWIW, I've been a subscriber of The Clever Cowgirl for quite awhile now - and learning about this on her channel is what brought me to yours. I just subscribed. :)

    I can't help you or CC by reporting the imposter on Tik-Tok because I don't have it and don't ever plan on getting it. I don't know how big of a pain it is but please start putting a watermark on all your content. You may want to take a new pic for your profile, add a watermark, then change you're profile pic if you can. Since neither of you had Tik-Tok or watermarks it probably made it easier for them to steal your content. I just found you because of CC's video. So sorry this happened to you both.
