Description: A freebooting Twitter account (very likely without permission) posts a screenshot of a TikTok with no credit and gets millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes. The creators of the original video respond, and get next to no views. (And currently have 6 likes on the tweet.)
As a side note, go watch Almost Friday TV, their videos are hilarious and incredibly well directed: https://youtu.be/Y5HInrono_o
But that doesn’t really give the creator any views, does it?
There is a way to mark a video as watched in youtube-dl (
--mark-watched), so it’s possible for Piped to have the same thing.I don’t actually know for sure, but I’d imagine it still gives a view the same way watching an embedded video gives a view.
