How to stop YouTube copycats from stealing your views
Quote from TunePocket Support on July 23, 2025, 9:45 pmLately, we've been helping creators with finding copycat channels. Copycats are the channels that use similar names, branding, or video ideas to siphon views and confuse audiences. In many cases, these channels aren’t just flattering imitators, they’re actively stealing your traffic and watch time.
The good news is, there are simple ways to spot this early. By regularly monitoring your channel name and unique keywords (like your catchphrases or series titles), you can catch suspicious activity before it impacts your growth. Tools like Google Alerts and TunePocket’s Channel Search Tool make it easy to keep tabs on any new channels that might be copying your brand.
We wrote a short post explaining how to set this up and what to do if you find someone using your brand or content:
