If you watch without AdBlock, here’s how you know:ġ.

What he did not tell you is that he is monetizing them.Īnd from what I understand after talking with some of you, none of you gave any permission to make money on your art, and he has not shared any of that profit with you or anyone else. Most of you gave permission to Kyotosomo (Pierce Riola) to dub your comics. I’m sorry this is a VERY long post, but if you have a few minutes, please stay for now. Apparently he got his first 13,000 subscribers by uploading stolen content.įor anyone who believes he deserves a third chance, read these links from 2 years ago: Quick update: This is not the first time there’s been drama with Kyotosomo and stolen content (on Youtube, no less). Instead I got this document summarizing his Youtube channel since 2015: I will explain my actions in another follow-up post, and I’ll put the link here once I’m done.ĮDIT: Never got around to writing it. Update: I’ve been asked a few times why I did it.

Update: One day after this post, Kyotosomo removed monetization from most of his comic dubs and claimed they were never monetized to begin with (despite making at least $11,000 from them). I’ll link a follow-up response post here and in the comments after I publish it: Quick update: I’ve been called out by Kyotosomo. Here’s a list of his comic dubs and their corresponding Tumblr accounts in alphabetical order: Tl dr Summary: Kyotosomo is making money from your comics on Youtube. Kyotosomo himself saw fit to leave some insults in the comments section: It presents a lot more info than what’s in this post: Here’s a 34-minute video summarizing Kyotosomo’s activities.

Many of them don’t want any part in this. UPDATE: Please do not tag any more artists.
