Copying content is a rampant issue among illustrators, musicians, etc.; it even led to copyright laws.

When pitching startup ideas, I was always asked, "What stops us from copying your product?" It's a harsh question, but it demands an important realization: What makes you so special? #StartUps #Investors #Pitching

The concept of "Sherlocking" is evident in tech. It's when a bigger fish (like Apple) integrates functionality of a smaller app, leading to its demise. It's about more than just the product. #Sherlocking #TechBusiness #Apps

Niches can therefore be beneficial. It's about higher conversion rates with dedicated communities, not just large numbers of disengaged patrons. #Niches #ConversionRates #BusinessStrategy

In the content world too, it's about the creator, not just the content. Replicate-able as they are, the value of experiences and diets lies with the creator, not just the content. #ContentCreation #Originality #Diet

Where you position yourself can significantly impact your venture. Blue waters offer unique niches while red waters require constant adaptation to maintain high conversion rates. #Positioning #Strategy #Niches

Then we have the concept of 'blue waters' versus 'red waters'. The former represents fresh, competition-less markets; the latter, ones brimming with competitors vying for the same piece of cake. #BlueRedWaters #Competition #MarketStrategy

What differentiates you and your content are your creativity and ability to reinvent, something copiers will lack. These lead to a better value proposition and compelling content. #Differentiation #Creativity #Reinvention

Having someone copy your content is an indicator of market viability. It shows others are interested and hence, even a small piece of a large market can be profitable. #MarketViability #ContentCreation #Profitability

I genuinely value the creators because of their authenticity that cannot be copied. Their perspective and way of presentation draws me in. It's more than consuming content, it's engaging with a vision. #Authenticity #Value #Creators

Sometimes I feel like saying, "Screw copyright, welcome creativity." Balance between protection and openness fosters innovation. Collaborations and exchanges of ideas can lead to beneficial breakthroughs. #Creativity #Innovation #Breakthroughs

When you follow someone for who they are, you’re not just consuming content, you’re engaging with their vision & thinking. So if someone copies your content, remember, they can't replicate your uniqueness. #Follow #Engagement #UniqueVision

I value creators, for they offer more than just info or entertainment; they offer themselves. So, to all creators out there, let the copiers copy, your authenticity is your real strength! #Strength #Creators #ContentCreation

Think of the beancounters and lawyers rendered idle. If they didn't have beans to count and DMCA takedowns to issue, it could lead to many problems, possibly including massive social unrest due to their inability to find other forms of employment.
