So a HUGE creator I've followed for years just outright copied my work without crediting me. They have over 500,000 followers on LinkedIn and over 165k subscribers on Substack.

When I saw it, my heart kind of stopped. Such a weird mix of emotions - frustrated they didn't credit me, but also genuinely excited that my work had somehow made its way to them.

It's strange holding both feelings at once. Part of me wants to be angry about the lack of attribution. Another part is oddly flattered that something I created resonated enough with someone I follow that they wanted to share it (even if they should've credited me).

Not sure what to do with this, but needed to share it somewhere.
