It takes a lot to make me mad. Most of my people know this… but you know what makes me EXTREMELY mad?! Random clout chasers on the internet stealing footage and photography from hardworking individuals in the storm chasing/weather community out there in the wild putting themselves in danger to get essential weather information out to the media/public. Don’t be a t**t waffle. If you want your goofy weather or business page to get likes and views, go out there and do it yourself. I’m talking to YOU Carl Couch Chaser and Renee Radar Watcher. Stealing is stealing and unless you were explicitly given permission to use someone else’s content, don’t use it. It’s that simple.
If you want me to break it down “Barney style” for you, here are some helpful tips to not be a scammer clout chasing bubble-blowing moron on social media:
1. CLICK THE SHARE BUTTON on someone else’s content. You can help a buddy out to get their work noticed.
2. If you can’t figure that one out ya little genius and you still want to hit that download button, ASK THE PERSON who posted their content if you can use it. If they don’t want you to use it, DON’T.
3. If you still can’t figure steps 1 & 2 out, be prepared for a letter/email from a copyright team of lawyers to contact you and CRY ABOUT IT because you suck, probably should go back to 2nd grade to learn simple reading skills, and are about to owe a lot of money.
That is all. It takes 0 dollars and only a few brain cells to not be a jerk.
