So I am new to this forum. I have about 1,000 subscribers on YouTube, and about 292,000 views total. I have a nice channel, I do tech videos, tech reviews, and other videos. Recently I've been having this issue with this guy named "John Smith". Yes, I am aware that it is a fake name this guy is using.
So I made an intro for my channel, I made it all by myself with no help. So I uploaded it to YouTube. Then this "John Smith" guy decided to just download my video, and just reupload it, saying it was his work. Well, people of course are not that gullible and called him out on his actions. He just repiled with "Thanks for viewing my work! I spend lots of time to create this for my friend". I even filed a copyright takendown but he countered it.
This "John Smith" also keeps dislking my videos with alts. Every video I upload gets like 1-3 dislikes. It's actually rare to see a video with 0 dislikes. It's not because the content is bad, because I do a lot of video editing, and I make good thumbnails and titles. However because I get like 12 likes for every video I make it's not a big deal. However he has alot of alts or people because when I uploaded my 1,000 sub video it got over 40 dislikes. Yes. Even on my last video it got 9 dislikes in a few seconds.
And then his alts/friends leave racist, disgusting, and rude comments. One of his alts legit said "Your terrible drink bleach hole you get shot up by a school shooter one day". I know it's petty, but it's a bit annoying. They make false claims that I "make videos only for the money" and I subbot.
It's just really annoying to have to put up with 1-9 dislikes and 3 comments trying to destroy your self-esteem on every video you work hard on and then have 40 alts go and ruin something you worked hard on. I'm afraid the dislikes may turn new viewers away. This guy is trying his very best to destroy my hard work. Anything I can do about this? Can I get his alts terminated for spam?
