Though I wish to reply those accusations, but that will not help in solving the issue. So I’ll just leave them.
There are reasons I wanted to hide my real identity, but definitely not from running away doing something unethical. If that is my intention, I’ll never step out and show myself here.
I’ll remove the youtube video that claimed the followers are real. I never claim my followers are real, the video creator didn’t follow the script and claimed that is real, whatever, that’ll be removed.
As for the things you want me to do:
I would like to see all content removed that clams your “Buy Followers” service offers “real followers”. This also apples to other lies you have stated for your services. I’ll remove the youtube video.
I NEVER want to see you copy someone elses content again; ESPECIALLY from this forum MPSocial. Although promise means nothing nowadays, I’ll keep this as my life-long motto.
I would like to see some quality content created by you and posted on the forum. This will show everyone here that you are in fact someone who sees the good in giving back to the community. You’ll see that soon.
PS: I do found your content extremely useful, and you had got some fund for your coffee few hours ago from me.
Although this cannot be proven, I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
I feel that we are back to square one again with the lying. Its clear that you watched the video before uploading it to your website/blog. Someone who is honest would have simply asked for a refund, or paid the extra $5 to get a new video from Fiverr made from someone who will follow your script exactly. We are responsible for our actions, and you posted this video knowing that it was dishonest.
Thank you for showing an effort to correct the inaccuracy of this video. I will be checking your other content which I know for a fact is not true. These will be stated upon discovery and the community will be able to see if you were willing to remove that information also.
Great, we will hold you accountable to your new life-long motto
Looking forward to it
Thank you very much for your generous donation. I will be sure to share this with the community that spent their time today assisting me, and those that have shown a genuine interest in this topic.
Damage done, and I admitted that. I put myself under the spotlight, telling everybody that I’m sorry. (No matter it is because of the fear of being exposed, or I want to sincerely apologize to @BrandonBerner )
Copied content removed.
Donated some money for @BrandonBerner Coffee Fund, token of appreciation for his hard work and original content.
Youtube Video removed.
I’ll never do this again.
Before you post another comment asking me to record a dancing video, imagine yourself in my current situation. What else do you expect me to do? Except from yet to post quality original content in this forum, I have done everything I was asked for / could.
Let this serve as a lesson for everybody else, but please stop here.
Very well handled Brandon. All jokes aside this was a very serious matter and if it had happened to anyone else here I could have imagined that they would have handled it differently. Thank the heavens the content was not stolen from @Fonzie because the chap would have certainly have had to post a social media rap!
Ones true character is revealed in situations like these. Ones which take us out of our comfort zone. I just want to commend you on how well you handled this.
Your affiliate link for MP should be banned. It’s not even plagiarism, you just copy pasta’d, at least use spintax next time bro. Sheesh. And you say you are in the forum…
Okay i don’t wanna stir up things but.,… isn’t it a little but hypocritical to report someone for the things we do ourself (reposting content from others for our own gain?
Sorry but i really have to disagree with that, copyright infringement is copyright infringement, end of story.
Posting hundreds of stolen pictures on IG/FB is just as bad as stealing written content and we do it constantly with MP
So to go after this guy like he is the next jack the Ripper is a bit hypocritical IMHO, if you go after people like this maybe you should take a closer look in the mirror and asses your town actions
What he did was wrong, but we do it too on a daily basis, no matter how you try to spin it for yourself. (something with the throwing a rock comes to mine)
That’s like saying that stealing a candy bar is equivalent to an Oceans 11 heist of 3 casinos because they are both “stealing”
Or we could say that using your friends Netflix login is the same equivalence to pretending you were him at the hospital to use his insurance.
It’s a false equivalence.
Because you could say “Hey you were pretending to be this or that!”.
If I were to use the same broad interpretation that you’re using I could say that you were infringing upon Heinekens trademark by using that shirt as your avatar.
I know you like to stir thing up a bit. But really, lets be honest, for you to to try to make a comparison to someone posting a picture of Everest to one of Brandons 1000+ word posts is way off base and I think inside…you know that.
If Heineken would take actions against me for using their brand on this shirt i would have to take it down, as i am STEALING it from them, stealing a candy bar is in the eye of the law the same as stealing a bar of gold, stealing is stealing, period.
You try to pretend that you only steal one pic, you are stealing thousands of images to use for your own gain, you do EXACTLY the same thing this guy did, perhaps even on a bigger much bigger scale (i know i do) so stop pretending you’re for some reason are the good guy, we are no better then Steven, stop pretending that you are.
I made my point, take a look in the mirror before you judge someone’s actions and start a witch hunt.
But you ARE using HEINEKENS trademark WITHOUT their consent.
You KNOW that but you DO it anyway.
You are well aware that what you are doing is INFRINGING upon their trademark. But it’s “ok” because no one said “Hey Dave…Um…Don’t do that because it’s infringing.”.
It’s like my nephew who is just fucking up continually…and he knows it…but he’s gonna keep doing it (until he breaks an arm or or a leg) until some adult tells him not to. Then he’ll say “Uncle Fonzie I didn’t know!”
What I’m saying (and I know you get this. I’ve read your posts you are a SMART guy) is there is a huge difference between taking a picture and sitting down at the computer, blocking out time, writing 1000+ words, grammatically correct, that people will appreciate, and will make a difference.
There is no witch hunt.
I wouldn’t give two shits if someone “appropriated” a picture I took of Mt. Rushmore, the beach, or my dog taking a shit. But I would be moderately upset if someone decided to “appropriate” the work and effort I put into writing a guide to dealing with “douche-bags online” that took me 6 hours to write, format, edit and post.
Hi guys, I think @BrandonBerner has decided and @stevenvertigo would just have to keep his part of the bargain or else… and while we all know that you both meant well, let’s take it down a notch after all we’re family
Do you even read what i write? Yes i infringe copyrights on a daily bases that is why i think it is hypocritical to judge Steven from using content from here while at the same time you’re making money for content from others that you steal
Jesus, it isn’t that hard to understand, right? It is hypocritical no matter how you spin it to make yourself look superior, you me and everybody here on this board are no better then Steven, so don’t even pretend you are.
Not the guy I found… So I don’t think that’s him. Probably someone off of Fiver or something.
