Update on the "drama and the alarm bell"

It seems that as soon as I started getting the copyright registrations for my videos, Etsy finally started moving on the copyright complaints I had filed last year in June, after Sweetcheeks had filed false copyright claims to stop me from doing lives and (as she hoped) close my channel. So they pulled down a couple of her tutorials from Etsy. Seven months after I had filed the claims. Way to go, Etsy.

Anyway, she emailed me. That she thought I stopped "bullying" her, that she never "stoled" my subscribers, that all she did was from "her hard work". Honestly, the whole email was just one lie after another - btw, not farther back than a week before this I had received again messages from people who used to be her patrons, sending me screenshots of her bullying them on "why you left me and you support this evil old woman" and a few days after she "launched" her texture that is a replica of the one I showed how to make in not one, but two of my tutorials, one in 2017 and one in 2018.

I TRIED to explain to her the whole Etsy thing amd that it had happened after she filed false copyright claims on my live broadcasts (as you all know she did that with other artists, of which the most known is Samantha from Jessama Tutorials). And (in quite a bit of words, because I really get riled up when someone pees on my leg and tells me it's raining) I told her exactly how much I believe (NOT!) her lies and she should stop acting like the wounded damsel in distress.

Do you think she got it? Nope. She sent me another email, the gist of it, being, obviously, that for her "bullying her" means "you must let me do my copying from others and you're not allowed to say anything and you're not allowed to make tutorials on the same subjects that I do".
This time I replied in Russian, using Google translate. My Russian isn't awesome and I don't have a cyrillic characters keyboard, but I'm sure it was a better Russian than her English without using Google translate. I also told her that this will be the last time I will let things pass, but if at any time in the future she will continue to copy me or harass any of my sponsors/subscribers, I am already in touch with a law firm in Thailand and I will sue her behind off and ask for damages. And advised her to consult Thailand law on the matter.

I guess this time she got it as she didn't email me again. Well, maybe she did.

Aaaanyway. Of coursenow she's posting excerpts of my email to her, pointing her finger at the "mean old lady bullying her" and whining to her subscribers and patrons, who, of course, don't know better and believe her.

Guess what, Sweetcheeks? Yes, I'm a mean old lady with the people who deserve it. YOU started it. And unfortunately, this time there wasn't an artist afraid they'll going to lose their income and not be able to pay their bills if they stand up to you.

The thing is, you can't stop yourself from copying attempts and from trying to "up me". I talk about doing a locket in one of my lives in which I announced also I'll be making a lot of hearts for Valentine's Day - you jump and make a heart locket tutorial. I show my sponsor's monthly reward being a special Mokume Gane - you jump and make mokume gane hearts.

Keep going. But you know what are the sad facts?

You've been on Youtube since November 2014.
Your first video was following a tutorial of Anna Oskina (of course with no credits given to anyone).
It's January 2019.
You have 246 public videos posted on Youtube. With about 40 different subjects, really, everything else is rehashing the same thing with different colors.
You have 50k subscribers after 4 1/2 years. You monetize your channel and you got a marketing contract splitting the advertising fees.

I've been on Youtube since May 2017.
My first video was following a tutorial of eleojota - with full credits given to her.
It's January 2019.
I have 455 public videos posted on Youtube. With HUNDREDS of different subjects.
I have 10k subscribers after 1 year and 9 months. I don't monetize my channel, don't advertise, nada.

At the beginning of August 2016 (one year and 9 months after your first video) you had 17 videos posted and 4.1K subscribers.

Simple math. That tells exactly who would be prone to be the copier and who would be the creative artist.

I only compare myself to myself. I only try to do better than I did, not than anyone else does. I am not defined by what people think of me. Probably that is why my channel is not about putting myself on a pedestal, but about sharing what I know -  and I don't answer only the questions of people who pay me a monthly subscription, I answer all questions from people who want to learn.
