When you post a video other people think is cool on youtube, you can expect 3 things to happen.

1. You will get a lot of views
2. Your video will be republished
3. Some of your republished videos will be rick roll bait

The Antipathy trailer was just such a video.  It received numerous awards for which I am eternally grateful and it was republished numerous times which is also fine with me so long as proper credit is given etc.  


So, when I saw this pole smokers republished Antipathy video not only claiming it was the Official Gears of War 3 trailer but then being ball-less enough to take credit for it to boot??  I had to take action – right up to the point I saw it had received like 100k views in just 30 days or something.  So the “view whore” in me took over and decided that exposure is exposure and just let it ride.  I did send him a few PM’s at first asking him to give us credit for the vid which he did not do.  The last correspondence I had with him was me calling him a various assortment of expletives.  That video has now surpassed one million views and I imagine will keep on keeping on unless someone reports it.


And that’s sort of the way it works with me.  I got my first million view video but it will be under false pretenses and not even on my channel. HA!  /grumble
