Copycat Creators Are Ruining the Internet | Thoughts Off The Stem
The internet used to feel creative… now it feels like the group project where everyone copies the one kid who actually did the work. Today we’re breaking down how copycat creators, stolen ideas, and recycled trends have turned social media into the world’s most chaotic copy machine — and why originality keeps getting punished by the algorithm.
In this episode, we get into the stuff everyone online thinks about but never says:
Why creators steal ideas and get rewarded for it
How the algorithm kills originality
Why every TikTok/video looks the same in 2025
What it feels like when a bigger creator copies your content
How “viral trends” destroy actual creativity
And the hilarious, frustrating reality of trying to stand out online
This is part rant, part comedy, part therapy session for anyone tired of scrolling through the same recycled videos, the same jokes, and the same “new trend” that’s been dead for months.
If you’ve ever looked at your feed and thought, “Why does everything look exactly the same?” — you’re gonna feel this one.
🎧 Tap play and let’s roast the algorithm together.
