View submission: What are the unwritten laws of Reddit?

If you suddenly stop posting, Redditors will notice and you will become an Internet mystery.

Also, if you write any kind of story, expect to get a YouTube narration of it. And odds are you won’t get any royalties from it. Expect the same thing for any questions asked on AskReddit that got really popular.

How do people know if their post has been used in a YouTube narration? I've seen a lot of people say that there's have been used in YouTube videos, BuzzFeed things, etc. How does one know when this has happened?

I mean, we weren't getting royalties from posting on reddit anyway, plus, narrating is a skill that not everyone has.

Every minute of every day should be spent on reddit, otherwise GamerFromMars will make a video about you next.

Piggybacking off of this, one thing I've noticed in story subs like r/ProRevenge or r/AITA is that people will post something at the bottom akin to "I do not give permission for anyone to reproduce or narrate this story for their own personal monetary gain." Once you put something onto Reddit, it's no longer yours. Unless it's something you have an actual copyright or trademark for, such as a piece of art or video you produced, anyone can do anything they like with it. Officially, Reddit owns anything you post or share (with the exception of the previous sentence). If anyone is legally entitled to go after a Youtube narrator it would be Reddit, not you.

It's similar to how a bunch of people on Facebook thought if they made a post stating "I do not give Facebook permission to gather my information blah blah blah..." then Facebook couldn't "legally" take their information. You're literally waiving those rights to ownership when you make an account.
