TikTok creators say copycats are stealing scripts word for word

Ellie Frazier first started posting content three years ago, sharing day-in-the-life vlogs and content tips for fellow creators.

As her following grew, she began noticing other creators posting videos with uncannily similar scripts to her own. The clips felt the same. The editing style, identical.

In one example, Frazier stretched in front of a window; another creator stretched in front of a window. Frazier chopped vegetables; the other creator chopped an orange. On its own, that might not seem especially striking.
