Lael has been controversial from the start, look up her music career guys!
2026-09-29 09:18

I know you’re affected by it when you think about it in your bedroom alone!
?
2026-09-29 09:13

Oh wow but I think your wrong about one thing - if it’s Leilani your talking about she’s not beautiful- just being honest she really isn’t - you are def ? and she’s not even a third …. Eww
2026-09-29 08:57

Almost 10 minutes and we do not KNOW who it is!!! That's epic
2026-09-29 08:44

I watch your videos from Costa Rica; I appreciate how intelligent you are. I, too, would feel frustrated with someone who took advantage of my hard work.
2026-09-29 08:43

I would feel so cringe copying someone else's ideas. Have too much self respect. And btw Stephanie you are beautiful ❤
2026-09-29 08:24

So who is it? 9 min in and I have no clue who we’re talking about. Is this just a rant?
2026-09-29 08:17

I hope this is correct. I just unsubscribed from Lael Hanson… I have NO love for thieves & liars.
2026-09-29 08:12

Who is it?
2026-09-29 08:07

no but tell me why i have CLICKED on vids of hers and being like wtf wait i thought this was a stephanie vid
2026-09-29 08:01

Name and shame so we can downvote!!
2026-09-29 07:57

Find another “job” then ?
2026-09-29 07:40

Commenting for engagement cause you deserve the views for your research and content delivery ❤
2026-09-29 07:23

I've been loving your videos for so many years keep up the good work, don't let any other heartless creator take that away...stay strong.
2026-09-29 07:23

You should make claims if it is possible on YouTube
2026-09-29 07:12

Babes honestly it’s soooo cute be proud being a trend setter ?straya ! ❤?
2026-09-29 07:05

Your work, your rules. If they’re stealing your IP, sue. ??
2026-09-29 06:21

You provided no evidence
2026-09-29 05:39

I could think of a 99 ways to flatter you, copying you ain't one
2026-09-29 05:35

Does anyone know who shes talking about? I thought it was Lael Hansen at first but i think I'm way off lol
2026-09-29 05:22

I had to look up the copycatter. Her video titles are in all caps, so I won't be watching her stuff.
2026-09-29 04:07

Yes I wil *L* re*A*lly lov*E* it if you revea*L* the person who is copying you but even before you posted this, I had seen one youtuber who seemed to be duplicating your content constantly, and she seems to be acting like other youtubers as well Even with the kiss on the head that she does to the screen, which is copying another youtuber...
2026-09-29 03:45

To everyone who says she's Lael Hansen.... STOP...!
It is not her.... Yes they talk about the same topics but she's not imitating ANYONE!
2026-09-29 03:44

So many YouTube creators perform the same content like the new trend of finding misplaced merchandise in grocery stores that they have to buy. As a viewer, recycled content is so annoying.
I'm all for having similar content if the viewpoints and b-roll are different.
Why didn't you give us a side-by-side comparison of your videos vs the ones that this influencer steals from you? I think that would strengthen your case because right now as a viewer I have no idea what you're talking about.
2026-09-29 03:38

At first, I was gonna comment that so many creators make videos just like this and it’s not that unique. But no… She is literally copying you video for video ? that’s fucking crazy and honestly lazy af
2026-09-29 02:58

Now I wanna know who she is?
2026-09-29 02:48

I like the idea of messaging a polite "knock it off" to them. That way you have some kind of evidence just in case you need to go further.
2026-09-29 02:18

Copying a idea or copypaste content is quit the difference.
2026-09-29 01:54

Imagine this videos does really well. Then she copies it ?? 6:17
2026-09-29 01:17

You need to do a video ABOUT her VIDEOS... A deep dive on a Serial Pirate
2026-09-29 01:06

Steph, I love your shirt!!!!!! ❤
2026-09-29 00:47

If you have not seen this film I think this is relevant. ~ 'Dare to be Wild.' Emma Greenwell & Tom Hughes
2026-09-29 00:35

block her
2026-09-28 23:51

The content doesn't matter.
I like Stephanie's body language and attitude ❤
2026-09-28 23:47

Azzieland and sssniperwolf all over
2026-09-28 23:41

I love your work,don't get disheartened by it dear .
2026-09-28 22:33

Ugh, I groaned so hard when you mentioned content farms. Yuck! They're so irritating!
2026-09-28 21:53

I can understand making a video based on someone else's video that inspired you, but I get ticked when someone full on copies another person. I agree it isn't flattery, and I think pursuing copyright claims is the way to go.
2026-09-28 21:51

Who is this trollop!?
2026-09-28 21:40

Can WE do something about this?
2026-09-28 20:38

When people steal ideas, identities, and personalities (not inspiration), it's because they typically have a fragile sense of who they are and it is also highly linked to narcissistic tendencies and traits due the fragile sense of self and identity. In worse cases, it's an attempted destiny swap. Either way, these individuals are typically very dangerous and lack boundaries
2026-09-28 20:30

Is it Lael? It is .
2026-09-28 20:26

this is why ryan higa and jennamarbles left youtube
2026-09-28 19:33

So sorry this happen! Hope she realizes the harm she's causing you ?
2026-09-28 19:13

NO, it's not lael. It's more about LEILANI the fact that she has the same miniatures
2026-09-28 19:04

Wow you got a big shout out from Asmongold !!
2026-09-28 18:58

Name and shame.
2026-09-28 18:53

Pantera shirt, I approve :)
2026-09-28 18:47

Pantera t-shirt
my lady you are amazing
2026-09-28 18:45

Create some content that is not your usual for a little bit, even better if those other youtubers can do the same, and then see how she ends up with nothing to post....
2026-09-28 18:08

I know exactly who you're talking about ?
2026-09-28 18:03

I like you but I can’t stand your copycat. She’s just too exaggerated and obnoxious when she speaks.
2026-09-28 17:38

You are the best Stephanie! ?
2026-09-28 17:26

❤️❤️❤️
2026-09-28 17:26

??
2026-09-28 17:26

LAEL. HANSEN.
And she is disrespectful af. I hate her. I already reported her on YouTube for this.
2026-09-28 16:51

You should watermark your videos....then she can't steal them outright
2026-09-28 16:48

You NEED to CALL THIS "INFLUENCER" OUT BY NAME, DO NOT LET THEM GET OFF THE HOOK. Hold this person accountable.
2026-09-28 16:06

Is that Lael Hansen?
2026-09-28 15:57

3:29 nah… I don’t think she can. That’s why she’s stealing your content right…
2026-09-28 13:49

You can get completely expelled from school for doing that, plagiarism is serious business!
2026-09-28 13:47

To be fair...alot of influencers post similar content...ie if you watch living off grid in Alaska over 500 influencers post hunting moose, fishing, canning etc, weightloss content is same thing...only day in the life's vary from one creator to the other...
2026-09-28 13:36

I’ve come across Lael’s videos before and watched a few, but there is something about her personality that’s just really not enjoyable. Like she’s trying too hard? And I also noticed her videos were weirdly similar to Stephanie’s.
2026-09-28 12:32

Asmondgold has a whole video on you rn
2026-09-28 12:10

I don't like your hair color; blonde would be much better.
2026-09-28 11:32

Why can't u just report her?
2026-09-28 10:59

You're not petty, you have every right to be pissed. One time in grad school everyone had a partner to do a paper. Funny how I just watched your ghosted video and now this. Anyway, so over the weekend before the paper was due, I messaged my partner for his part of the work, He GHOSTED me. I panicked for a moment then I thought to myself, YOU CAN DO THIS AND YOU CAN SUBMIT THIS ON YOUR OWN, IT'S NOT MANDATORY FOR BOTH TO WORK ON ONE PAPER. That was the light bulb and I started crunching out the other half. Day of the submission, dude had the audacity to ask me "How the paper went?" I said FINE and he asked to see it which I allowed him and he said it only has your name on it.......I said no shit cause I'm the only one that did it and he thought I'd be forced to put his name. The professor asked why was my name the only one on the paper and I said cause my partner didn't do shit and ghosted me and expected me to put his name on it. He accepted that answer and I got an A anyway. I left it up to the professor to figure out who that jack@$$ was.
2026-09-28 10:41

I knew she was talking about Lael and I was literally waiting for her to make this video. Lael couldn’t keep using AI without getting called out, so now Lael is copying real people. So I guess it’s a step up for her. She is mediocrity incarnate.
2026-09-28 10:34

Laura jane atelier probably. Even the theme.
2026-09-28 10:21

I won't lie I was scared at first that she may have been referencing Kiki Chanel and then I realized it was Lael Hansen and genuinely had a sigh of relief. Like I don't think Kiki would but I wasn't sure since I know Kiki makes similar videos about similar topics or sometimes the same topic if it's so big.
2026-09-28 10:13

Lael Hansen.
2026-09-28 10:05

wait guys drop the copycat channel’s name
2026-09-28 10:04

that's frustrating ? why cant people just be themselves
2026-09-28 09:49

Name her and shame her! We as viewers can report her for stealing your content, but not if we don't know who she is. It works better with YouTube if we report as well as you.
Don't be so nice Stephanie This is one of those instances where you have to take the gloves off.
I love your content, and it is really lame that someone is stealing it. Report her!!!!!
2026-09-28 09:04

Probably should have just found a lawyer ?
2026-09-28 08:57

I want to know who this person is, Team Stephanie!!!
2026-09-28 08:36

but who is it?
2026-09-28 07:33

You wouldn't mind if they tagged you in the description, spoke about the same topic, but clearly stated they were inspired by your video. It's very irritating and I'd be fuming.
2026-09-28 07:18

Is that not what all of the YT and social media gurus teaching? They always says success leave clues, see what’s people are putting out and what’s popular and copy it. That’s literally what they teach ???
2026-09-28 06:33

I have the same issue with this one creator and it’s so annoying
2026-09-28 05:07

This is actually insane and plagiarism
2026-09-28 05:04

Who is this just curious
2026-09-28 04:44

What’s her handle?
2026-09-28 04:17

I watched Lael, and I must say I thought that the topic and content were too similar to this channel. Not sure if its her, but it was too similar.
2026-09-28 04:13

Leilani or Lael Hansen?
2026-09-28 04:04

You can always count on Steph to compliment girls who reallyyy don't deserve it. 100% confront her and stand your ground! Whoever she is, she has absolutely no right to do this.
2026-09-28 03:35

GIRL you are rocking that Pantera shirt ??? love it! Love your vids and sorry about this topic in particular
2026-09-28 03:34

Omg! She just copied your big nose one! ??
2026-09-28 03:17

I liked her at first but it’s repetitive, just unsubscribed for you
2026-09-28 03:13

Like it’s your hard work we get it. She is ripping you off 100% we would all be angry as well, but just please know we are here for you and you only but this is infuriating to me as well!!! come up with your own content at least and change the words!!!!????
2026-09-28 02:36

We’re here for you babe!! ?????♾️
2026-09-28 02:35

You’re not wrong. This shit is so annoying. Kind different situation, but I’m a tattoo artist and have had people (multiple times) steal my videos off tiktok and repost them pretending to be me so that they can scam clients into giving them deposits. No. I am not flattered! I’m pissed!
2026-09-28 02:33

I hope this video does really well, so that this girt stop copying Stephany out of embarrassment
2026-09-28 02:20

Thanks!
2026-09-28 02:18

Wish you said who. Now I'm looking at other speculated creators like ?
2026-09-28 02:11

Between Chat GBT doing homework, and copy pasting content. We are becoming a leech built and plagiaristic society. Why should we work, when others can do it for me.
It’s 100% theft, by the lazy
Her response will probably be, “You are gatekeeping your content, and should be happy that I am getting your ideas out there”
After all theft isn’t theft, if I can invent a good excuse for doing it.
2026-09-28 02:11

Girl no no no, not even just HER, she not only steals from you but other creators too. The dirty soda bit ? And just to let you know, German Creators steal your ideas the same way, due to the translation and different audience it gets lost on people..But girl so many do, it‘s sad ??
2026-09-28 02:09

Lael Hansen.......
2026-09-28 02:08

Last week, a video of that girl popped up, and I thought, "Wow, what a copycat" ???♀️
2026-09-28 01:50

You’re definitely not petty nor an asshole so do whatever necessary for her to stop stealing from you because it really is stealing.
2026-09-29 20:22

Always the OG!
2026-09-29 19:46

Stephanie you’re the best and you are correct for talking about this! Thank you for your videos ♥️ Keep on going queen ? ?
2026-09-29 18:48

A narcissiast is not capable of admiration they just conclude that they should have what you have and they will try to take it
2026-09-29 18:16

Did you report her for copying?
2026-09-29 18:05

Thanks for this video. Nobody is like you, dear Stephanie! ?
2026-09-29 16:25

This is why there’s cease and desist letters/notices. You have every right to protect yourself. Standing up for what’s right is a good thing. Listen to your gut. I believe in you.
2026-09-29 16:17

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. I'm never gonna watch that creator's videos again. I hope that YouTube implements that change in 2027. You deserve to be rewarded for your hard work and dedication to your craft.
I'm glad you spoke out for yourself! ❤
2026-09-29 16:06

Don't post anything let her own creativity shine
2026-09-29 15:40

It's wrong to be repeatedly copy other people's videos. Those people aren't original they are making $ off other people's work not their own cause they obviously can't think for themselves.
2026-09-29 14:59

Wait i just searched her profile and i realized she’s the same girl that got called out a long time ago for trying to copy billie elishes songs or style
2026-09-29 14:26

Who is she?
2026-09-29 14:11

I understand your frustration. I think we all know who that person is. Personally I appreciate everyone creating content without having a team. What is even more frustrating is that yt demonetized the original content creator for “reused content”, while the ones who copyied are still well off.
2026-09-29 14:10

GIRLY, Asmondgold has recently used a large portion (majority of the video) from one of your OnlyFans videos too.
2026-09-29 13:45

GET @jacksfilms ON HER AHHHH!!!!
2026-09-29 12:21

I would absolutely message this creator and tell her how you feel. You have every right. She’s stealing from you girl!
2026-09-29 11:41

Her videos appeared to me before and I thought it was Stephanie bc the title and everything is very similar
2026-09-29 11:29

Liking and commenting for the algorithm ? so that hopefully other people see this too!
2026-09-29 11:27

GUYS!! thank you for your kind words and love you have no idea how much your support means to me! I also didn't realise how quite so many of you already saw what was going on with this others creators content. I think what i'm going to do from now on, is if i see that she has blatantly copies any of my videos (not just 'inspired' - but actually copying the precise talking points and research etc) then I will have to start publically acknowledging it. I already have all the screen shots of the videos of mine that she has copied, down to title and thumbnails, AND i've also taken the liberty on the behalf of my fellow content creators to screenshots the videos she's copied from them - but i'm hoping that seeing this video and realising that after two years of me staying quiet and letting her profit off other creators hard work, that enough is enough, and i WILL start standing up for myself. If you can churn out 3 to 4 30 minute long video essays per week, when other creators (the ones who are actually doing the work) can only get one out per week, something is fishy. it speaks for itself. i dont want to report this creator or impact her channel, but im hoping after seeing this that she will realise that what she's doing is exploiting the work of others, and that she will tone it down of her own accord and create her own videos and do her own research. unlikely, probably - but we'll wait and see. xx
2026-09-29 11:11

Is it Lael ? I thought it was her but I need confirmation !
2026-09-29 11:08

Stephanie acting like she's the only one making tiktok commentary videos lol
2026-09-29 11:03

Drop the name ?
2026-09-29 10:58

Ok but my main problem with you ( and not only in this context) is that you’re quite SPINELESS. Hello?! Someone literally steals your work and you’re won’t even mention them?? Wtf?
2026-09-29 10:52

if you are talking abt lael, she just said that you are her greatest inspo and she wants a collab with you in her comments section??
2026-09-29 10:31

I’m surprised you haven’t already messaged her. Of course, you should confront her. You should publicly name and shame her. Toxic empathy is killing western societies!!
2026-09-29 10:30

You are not the as***le! I would be furious
2026-09-29 10:26

I’m so sad for you!!!!! Get an attorney involved!!!! Copyright & hit her where it hurts.
2026-09-29 10:08

Sue her!!!
2026-09-29 09:49

PANTERA SHIRT ❤️? I love you ?
2026-09-29 09:28

I expect people to unfollow her but do not harass her. It could be flipped and make her look like the victim.
2026-09-29 09:28

I think I've seen her videos, I clicked once or twice on it thinking It was yours and was surprised to see someone else but didn't think much of it but now yes I see it
2026-09-29 09:26

They're using the same thumbnail. And topics as well...
2026-09-29 08:55

I hate that girl. Her voice makes me feel so anxious ?
2026-09-29 08:39

Yup. Lael. I find lael to be loud, obnoxious, fake and when you watch her tween content with her friend...my god. It's embarrassing and so cringe. Exaggerated facial expressions and speech. Frantic and creepy responses to pretend issues "OMG! The pizza is ruined, what are we going to do bestie!" Cue enormous and icky scared face....it gives me the ick
2026-09-29 08:06

I’m already subscribed to Janae. Stephanie, keep up the hard work because at the end of the day you have something to be proud of that you created by yourself. You are setting a great example for your children as you stay honest. You’re one of my favorite creators and I know others feel the same! Now I have to figure out who you are talking about! ?
Thank you to the comments for giving us the name. Stephanie is too classy to name Lael so I’ll do it. I didn’t know who tf this was until I searched her name. I have subscribed and unsubscribed to her several times. Then apparently she would copy you and I would follow again. It’s disturbing to see the similarities and hers always come out after yours. I decided on my own to unsubscribe. Keep it real out there!
2026-09-29 07:36

I have a feeling it’s about Leal Hansen, which is so sad because the algorithm pushed Leal on me because I like Stephanie, so I was like okay I’ll watch this girl too, started liking her also..but then I started seeing way too many similarities and I was like okay is the algorithm just showing me a thieving copycats now instead of originality.
But hey girl at least you got Asmon reacting to you and all his followers had nothing but lovely comments for you ❤
2026-09-29 06:54

I reported her channel, like this if you did too ?? go go go!!
2026-09-29 06:32

Don't feel bad, don't apologize. I'd block and report her channel. Thnx to the comments, I already figured out who is doing it and you're in your right. I blocked and reported them. If she does it again, I'd absolutely do a name drop.
2026-09-29 05:13

Yes girl, you don't even need to say the name; I know exactly who you mean. I’ve stumbled across this YouTuber's products a few times now, and within seconds, I realized I’d already seen the exact same content done earlier by you. At first, I thought this déjà vu was just my imagination. But no, it kept happening over and over. The word you're looking for is simple: plagiarism. That's it.
2026-09-29 04:57

OMG! It turns out I already had her channel blocked. I see why! Something about her spirit put me off and I blocked her channel permanently so I wouldn't see recommendations from her anymore. This was before I ever even realized she was copying you word for word. PLEASE keep this video up Stephanie! It needed to be said!
2026-09-29 04:04

Why are you so willing to let a scummy cheat like Lael steal from you? She was known as toxic on TikTok and is now just doing the same thing over here. Stand up for yourself.
2026-09-29 01:56

I actually deleted Lael a week ago. She definitely does cooy, you and KIKi.
Her voice grates on me too.
2026-09-28 23:34

Have you just noticed this! I remember years ago when I clicked on her video, the first thing that came to my mind was, you. I said to myself that she was copying you. She has always done that, even copy the way you talk. I remember her subs were in couple of thousands then. I thought she would get caught and would be stopped.
2026-09-28 23:02

Late to the vid, but wanted to show support for an Original creator. If not said already, it's like bullying & robbery. If someone's content is so similar, it makes a viewer less likely to watch or value as highly the original... it would be nice if youtube didn't just do AI filtering in the future, but also made it a "report" option similar to harassment. Even if someone is exposed, leaving comments on their channel to do it unfortunately promotes their content in the algorithm, right? And acknowledging the creator directly isn't petty but is beneath original creator. Best to you???
2026-09-28 22:26

Honestly I think you need to be more mad. This is your whole job that you are actively putting in time and energy into making content, that not only you find interesting but also other people. It's also something that involves a lot of time, effort and personality, and for someone just to blatantly copy for views without doing the same amount of work is incredibly offensive. It's like if a coworker steals your work and passes it off as your own ? I say name and shame girl!
2026-09-28 21:10

It's funny because I knew you reminded me of one of my best friends for a long time - but this video cements it. The two of you are very similar in a lot of ways (style/look, personality and how you handle frustrating situations), probably another reason for why I enjoy your videos. Definitely don't delete this - you're human and it's okay and fair to be annoyed and frustrated. I'm frustrated for you!
2026-09-28 19:56

I still love your channel, content and you Stephanie! ❤❤❤??.
2026-09-28 19:03

I wanna see who this goose is!!!!
2026-09-28 18:32

You have more knowledge on what you put into your channel. Only the real ladies that follow you will not watch her. I like your personality your are honest and I have learned a lot. I
I’m 64 years old and have been watching you for at least two years or more. Stop downing yourself she’s copying you. Stay strong and true. ❤️??
2026-09-28 17:50

Name and shame. If someone is too lazy to be original they should be called out. It’s not okay.
2026-09-30 09:04

I love your Pantera shirt :)
2026-09-30 08:24

Its lelanilei not lael

What if she made a video of someone copying her now....thatd be something!
2026-09-30 06:25

Thanks for telling us. I follow you both but I've watched more of her, I guess because I remembered her name and looked for her videos more. YouTube is full of people talking about the same thing, but if she's essentially copying your content, that's wrong. I don't know if it's possible to sue or have YouTube kick her off the platform? She had no traction on her channel until she started making her current kind of content. Crazy if it's essentially all stolen.
2026-09-30 04:27

Remember when Lael was trying to be a rapper? ???? she will do anything for money and attention.
2026-09-30 03:50

Stephanie you are not the asshole here in any capacity. If it was just the thumbnail, if it was just the title, sure--it's unfortunate but it happens. But at this point, that is just wholesale theft of your work, and not only do you have every right to be mad, I'd try talking to a lawyer.
2026-09-30 02:52

She was recommended on my feed. I read her comments and that's how I ended up on your channel. You have great content!
2026-09-30 02:48

Is she downloading the videos running it through chatgpt and at least asking for a newly worded script ? Is there a chance she has a researcher she's paying and they are doing this, we need the juice ? we need people on the inside that know her work process ??
2026-09-30 02:42

oh I know who she is talking about and I have been waiting for this day!!!!!!!!!
2026-09-30 02:42

I watched some of Lael's videos having no idea she was stealing from someone.... I was so happy to see a "girl's girl" actually talking about the negatives of beauty trends the internet is flooded with, UGH
2026-09-30 02:39

Are you sure ‘she’ isnt AI? They’re ripping content creators off left right and centre.
2026-09-30 02:32

Start trolling her lol make wild content that we know is a joke, but she might not ?
2026-09-30 02:16

In grad school right now and it is so annoying to me when people just copy and paste content and claim it as their own. If I did that, I would literally fail my class. It irritates me and originality is the best. I enjoy your videos. Thank you. p.s. Your hair and makeup are always gorgeous!
2026-09-30 01:42

You need to name names if they do it again after this one! Have you turned them in?
2026-09-30 01:40

You are one of my favorite YouTubers and this annoys the hell out of me, so I can imagine how much it pisses you off, and rightfully so! I just went on her channel just so I could block her!
2026-09-30 01:38

It is Lael, because when I watch her, I feel Deja Vous x??x p.s will not watch her anymore , I have watched you since you were a very young girl .
2026-09-30 01:11

I also came across a German YouTuber who is completely copying your videos and ideas only with slight adjustments ? forgot her name because she isn’t memorable
2026-09-30 01:00

Don’t delete, keep this up Stephanie!!
2026-09-30 00:41

Can’t you report her to youtube? And/or take civil action against her and pursue compensation?
2026-09-30 00:30

Isn’t that illegal?! I only watch you : you have charisma & great content. I not even that into some subjects, but you make subjects interesting. I block & hit not interested on other beauty etc channels. Your content is special ?: I found the other ‘beauty’ channels boring. You could be on TV.
2026-09-30 00:23

Didn't know this was happening... saw it on some "teen" chanels a few years back... wow, people recycle everything but plastic
2026-09-30 00:15

Yesterday I was watching a creator that I had never seen before and the video was talking about a situation that was on TikTok and literally the entire video was just her reacting silently to the videos as they played, but she literally would play TikTok videos from different people that were saying the same exact thing over and over. And it’s like I can’t tell what’s worse like taking someone’s exact script and then saying it yourself or ripping videos off TikTok and then just posting those as the entire video and never actually having any commentary about it or actually saying anything about it… there are so many lazy creators out there. It is insane.
2026-09-29 23:35

Yeah nah there’s making videos on the same/similar subjects and being inspired by others, but copy paste like this isn’t okay. Sorry to hear this. It’s not it! Edit: if she’s quick to copy you, she may be using AI to copy.
2026-09-29 23:26

Not me watching this ? I started to follow Lael first and had no idea ? Now I’m following you ❤?
2026-09-29 23:16

i get taking inspiration. we are all a mosiac of people we admire and look up to and wanna be like. but she could never be you lol, the way you talk and your humour is lovely
2026-09-29 22:43

So Lael copies Stephanie, Kiki, and Michelle McDaniel.
Has she done any copying of Hannah Alonzo, Janae Danyiel, Isabella Lanter, or Angelika Oles?
2026-09-29 22:31

Get a lawyer.
2026-09-29 22:03

Say hi to her at the beginning of every video ?
2026-09-29 21:27

Let’s wait until she copies this
2026-09-29 21:24

I knew who it was before I read the comments: Lael Hansen
2026-09-29 20:23

Its a destiny swapper good on you for calling her out before she goes Hailey Bieber on your whole life
2026-09-29 18:13

Finally had a video of her in the recommendation tab and was therefore able to block the channel :)
2026-09-29 17:20

Not the Buccal up girl? I hate it when people turn out to not be what they seem. Though I have been finding it weird she has so few views on her videos despite having over a million subscribers.
2026-09-29 16:22

A few times now I've clicked on her videos thinking it was you, and I was so confused. Thumbnails are basically copy paste
2026-09-29 16:14

Oh no, it’s not Lael is it? I literally just followed that girl this morning, the algorithm was recommending her probably cuz I watch your videos! Nooo ??
2026-09-29 15:55

Love your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing.
2026-09-30 21:08

Dear Stephanie, you're the OG when it comes to this particular genre of YouTube. I've followed you for years now and as soon as Lael arrived with your genre, I was like, "what?? Noo"
I like her videos too. But she totally stole the idea from you.
Just know that your content is as amazing as always?♥️Keep going!
Much love?
2026-09-30 21:06

don't be shy spill the youtube name
2026-09-30 19:44

Omg Steph! Are you by chance a metalhead too? I love you more now! ❤
2026-09-30 19:17

Is crazy ❤❤❤❤ sorry my love❤❤❤❤ am here to support you and you and also help every small and big YouTuber to grow
2026-09-30 17:24

There is a lady in Poland who literally almost translates some of your videos to polish and post as her content but the structure, arguments, even the clips you used she is using. People are thanking her for such great content lol ?
2026-09-30 17:11

Why are we not naming and shaming?
It’s obviously not fair.
I don’t know who it is?
2026-09-30 16:30

I was aware your videos are very well made, even unbelievable how you made them. it is so obvious they took a lot of time and research. For me, it is not the idea you defend in these videos that makes me click, because they are not new to me, but the content of those videos is new, interesting and fun to watch. Not that I didn't learn anything new from you, I think I did a lot. Don't let others steal your hard work, and tell us so we can help.
2026-09-30 16:17

Oh dear, Stephanie, you’ve got yourself a number-one fan ?But on a good note, it means you’re doing a fantastic job. She clearly knows it — that’s why she’s copying you.
2026-09-30 15:17

for sure she's copying you. I didnt even have to click and I knew who you were talking about.
2026-09-30 15:08

Nooooo this makes me so sad because I’ve been watching you for a decade and just started following Lael and I never realized she was ripping you off. Gotta unfollow her
2026-09-30 14:53

This is next level larping. Glad you spoke out.
2026-09-30 14:50

I think you can take legal action against her, at least in the States.
2026-09-30 14:02

I'm not sure Lael even knows HOW to be authentic.
Once i learned about her background i realized she was extremely fake and just playing her current character.
I stopped subscribing or watching any of her videos.
2026-09-30 13:10

No way could she be referring to Lael Hansen. They are not alike at all. Plus Lael posts way more often and they really aren't alike. Same topics different style. Lots of videos on the same topics and the information on them is redundant because, that's the info anyone can find, it's all the same information and sources.
2026-09-30 12:37

Imagine you were allowed to get away with this on TESTS. Its cheating lol
2026-09-30 12:17

Can’t you just report the content she steals from you?
2026-09-30 10:57

I think they should be required to compensate you for reacting to your videos and then credit you for it. Youtube has turned into too many people just reacting to other hardworking influencer's videos. It's ridiculous!! The laziness is appalling. You have an original unique voice and it should be protected from those lazy a$$e$.
2026-09-30 10:39

9:20 you should message her and also call her out publicly if it keeps happening. Consider her warned
2026-09-30 10:06

Love ya Stephanie!
2026-09-30 09:26

Lael needs to be stoppef
2026-10-01 07:55

Let’s support our OG brainy girl Shephanie and Report Lael Hansen ⚒️ It’s disgusting at this point
2026-10-01 07:35

This is an epidemic on YT right now. I am amazed people still use this platform. Something has to give. YT won't help either. And this stealing of content is absolutely gone off the charts. I stopped posting as I also had work taken. Its soul destroying.
2026-10-01 06:33

You should update your profile pic because its hard to see who you are and a lot of us dont remember
names but we do faces..
Oh and 'Her' profile pic looks more like you than her ?
2026-10-01 06:27

As a content creator i’ve been trough the same thing as you, so I totally get how you feel.. it’s really frustrating to see someone just perfectly copying your original made content especially when they’re a bigger content creator. In my case, I reached out to that person that was copying my concept/videos and i respectfully called them out privately in their dm’s, they reacted, we both moved on and since then I haven’t seen this creator copying my stuff.. sometimes you just have to speak up.
2026-10-01 06:06

NAME AND SHAME
2026-10-01 05:35

Your video came up on my feed I've subscribed to you and the channels you recommended. I hope YT pulls the plug in channels that copy like that.
2026-10-01 05:11

I love how basic YouTubers think they’re actually creating content.
All you do is badmouth men and women you don't like.
This isn't new, quite the opposite. Every female or gay YouTuber who wants to play the moral compass makes the exact same kind of videos.
It’s not copying; you’re just dull, unoriginal, and have huge egos.
2026-10-01 03:50

I used to watch lael.. Its just so boring same stuff repeated and repeat ed
2026-10-01 03:38

lael hansen had a whole history of copying billie eilish as well to the point billie spoke about it in an interview.. weird girl
2026-10-01 03:28

Oohhhh so sad, so awful! How will we sleep at night. I am sending prayers for your content even though there about a dozen other channels doing the same content. But lets pretend YOU are the only one making true and authentic content.
2026-10-01 02:03

i immediately thought about leilani
2026-10-01 01:42

Steph, could you please quit this "I apologize for any inconvenience caused by me demanding my own rights" attitude? Like I already said once, you're way too nice for your own good, so get yours balls out of your purse and copyright strike her ass!
2026-10-01 01:38

no way i liked lael :(this is so disappointing
2026-10-01 01:36

Panter t!?
2026-10-01 01:25

Omg I knew there was something wrong with that channel. Like why am I watching the same video twice. I almost thought that YOU WERE HER and had to double check. It felt off because she even got your speech pattern right. It was a good decision for me to unsub from her and remained subscribed to you. She seemed mean spirited imo while you seemed concern for the people in the subject. I went back to her channel and I saw she tried to have a music career. I didn’t know why I’m drawn to your content more than hers maybe cause I can feel the vibes early on and just didn’t wanna say anything in case i get it wrong. So happy for you speaking up about this! Some other commentary channel youtubers forget that their personality stands out which makes them different from others even while speaking on a trending topic. I suggest to just block her or if you can file a copyright strike if she copied you verbatim cause that’s still plagiarism.
2026-10-01 01:12

Ray Willam Johnson also has a copycat influencer who copy exact same video but does it in another language and country on YouTube ? The audacity of these people. They have no shame. Wait so who is this copycat????
2026-10-01 00:46

I would be reporting her, even though I've heard that it doesn't do much, but it's not fair to you. I have a small channel in another account and one of my biggest fears is one of the bigger creators in my niche stealing my content ideas because I know mine are unique, I never look at anyone for inspiration because I don't want to get into the comparison game. But, yes, it's crossed my mind that someone who is running out of content ideas could copy mine and it would feel very disheartening, especially because I have a small channel.
2026-10-01 00:32

Copyright strike simple - script, thumbnail etc report her
2026-10-01 00:26

Yes, let her know and as the other commenter said, block her and report her. I take the time to report anyone I see doing g this to people I follow and admire. Please, you work too hard. It’s wrong, on every level. It’s theft…like you said, intellectual property is a real item and it’s tangible. We can see it and your videos predate hers…don’t let it slide and DO NOT DELETE YOUR VIDEO! ❤
2026-10-01 00:14

Girl you're so beautiful omg I want a make up tutorial please
2026-09-30 23:54

I've seen her around my algorithm, and I only watch her when I've finished watching all my favourite content creators and I have nothing else to watch and am desperate ?...
I hardly can sit through a whole episode of hers.... she projects her voice too much and is loud & speaks aggressively -.-
I knew there was something intuitive of why i wasn't vibing her... and now its confirmed. ??
Copy cat content thief ? ? ?
I happily won't watch content of hers again.
2026-09-30 23:19

You're not an asshole, you work very hard and this other individual is outright stealing from you. Not cool.
2026-09-30 22:58

Not only does she copy your content, but she’s also copying your tone and way of speaking. That’s actually scary. ?
2026-09-30 22:38

WE RIDE AT DAWN FOR STEPHANIE!!!!!⚔️??
2026-09-30 22:19

Do not delete your video; sometimes standing up for your work is the only thing you can do.
2026-09-30 22:13

Subscribers of any channel she copies, need to mass report EVERY copied video
2026-09-30 22:05

Took me 3 seconds flat to guess Lael, and a quick scan of the comments confirms this suspicion. There is a fair bit about her that doesn’t sit right with me.
2026-09-30 21:53

Reported that lael girl!!
2026-09-30 21:50

YouTube recommended me a video from that girl next smh
2026-09-30 19:49

What is her channel name
2026-09-30 18:10

I wonder if she will copy this video ?
2026-09-30 14:33

Initially I didn’t “know” who you were referring to, but then a name/face suddenly popped into my head. So I came to read the comments and sure enough, the face that popped into my head had obviously popped into everyone else’s head’s too. Know that I consciously know, I won’t watch her videos anymore.
2026-09-30 14:07

yess!!! Honestly, this has changed on YouTube so much in the last 5 years, pretty much since COVID and beyond, where the blatantness of copying is just so out in the open now. It's almost become accepted that you could copy people. Maybe because the platform got so big that these creators thought, "Oh, no one would notice," which is true in a sense. There's a good chance that people didn't watch both versions of that video, but oh my goodness, how have we lost the whole plot?
What is the point of being a creator if all you were going to do is just copy other people's work? (That's a trick question. Stephanie already mentioned it. It's money. That's the answer. ) Instagram has it bad too, let's be honest, but at least generally, those videos do not take nearly as much time to make as a full YouTube video. I'm excited to see what YouTube does and how they actually attend to policing this.
I also applaud you, Stephanie, for being such a forward-thinking creator. All of these years, you've always been an original OG, and I appreciate watching your content. :)
2026-09-30 13:40

Meyn now I know why I stop watching Lael's stuff for the past few months. Just felt her videos are getting way too... Iffy. Just a feeling I have. And I like Stephanie's presentation more since it feels very genuine and heartwarming.
2026-10-01 21:09

Who is it ?
2026-10-01 20:52

dont delete this video please x
2026-10-01 19:05

Lol the other day I came across "Why we don't eat Hippo meat" or something like that with a hippo on a plate and a stick figure. I proceeded to find 3 more videos exactly like it so I decided to search the title...... found atleast 10.....TEN videos exactly like it?
2026-10-01 18:04

Yup, I call these ppl BOTTOM FEEDERS, VULTURES, PARASITES, HYENAS-- basically ppl who don't fall under the PREY OR PREDATOR Category in wildlife. They're LAZY, so they have either no talent, no individuality or nothing valuable to offer which is why they just do what they do! It's never gonna stop, so yeah it's frustrating. But they let u know that you're "successful!"
2026-10-01 17:01

отписалась от этой Лаэль! расстроена, что она так низко опустилась и ворует контент. отвратительно. мне жаль вас, правда!((((((((((((((( обнимаю
2026-10-01 16:12

Why so apologetic? Why not outing? That would not make you any less nice
2026-10-01 15:57

I KNEW IT WAS LAEL. She kept posting vids and I'm like this sounds exactly like Stephanie's videos. Weird
2026-10-01 15:36

I thought I was trippin because I thought all the topics and cover photos looked the same?
2026-10-01 15:32

Nearly everyone working in a specific niche will seem like they are copying each other sometimes. I love both Hannah Alonzo and Kiki Chanel's work, but see the similarity in their content. Same goes for Beyonce who has allegedly stolen from so many smaller writers, composers and artists. Content will mirror each other more often that we would love it to
2026-10-01 14:44

Does anyone remember the Beige/ Grey Esthetic? It was all over the news.. kind of a BIG deal when it happened but it was getting attention for all the wrong reasons. The media was making a joke of it. In reality, a creator was being STALKED & COPIED to the 3rd degree. Girl 1 alleged that another girl was copying her content, TO THE "T". It was on Instagram, pretty sure. Well, I forget how it got resolved or what, because the young lady that was being copied had many things going on in her life. She just didn't have the time, energy and or money to continue the fight. Everything Girl 1 posted, Girl 2 would post almost immediately after, same content, same thumbnail, same angles of filming the same backdrops, same doormat outside her door, same light fixture, same items from a shopping haul, microwave etc. You name it, she copied it. She was copying her outfits, hairstyle, hair COLOR. It was beyond creepy at that point because she even went to her SAME FILMING LOCATIONS. The 2 young ladies lived near each other. They had met at a mixer event or something of the sort, for creators to network. I do believe that Girl 1 had tried to ask Girl 2, of she'd stop, but with these types of people, if you ask nicely they'll act like your doing something wrong to them or some crap. You know? Defensive all the way but if you don't say anything, when the spotlight finally hits the stage, they'll default to, "I wish you would have asked me. I would have taken it down." Yada yada yada,,, whatever whatever, right?! So if you DO say anything, anything at all, they'll most likely gaslight you to the MOON ? & if you DON'T, they'll use it against you later. Pretending like it would have made a shred of a difference in any of it. Don't waste your time on this person. Don't let it suck the JOY out of what you do ✨️ Not only is your content special because of you're brilliance, it shines because its coming from you. No matter what they rip off of you, at the end of the day, they're not you. Can't do it like you, never will be you. People can sense originality. That being said, I firmly believe in fighting for what you believe in. I sincerely hope that you can get in touch with the appropriate people to take care of this nuisance. Its gotta stop. You don't deserve this. Nobody does, but especially not you. The more i think about how far you've come over the years, this really infuriates me. I've been watching your channel for probably over a decade and I been in a financial bind since Covid-19
. I'd never, it HAS NEVER even crossed my mind, not for a second. Like, "Oh, let me plagiarize some content from a successful YouTuber", great idea!.. I DON'T THINK SO! Have these people no pride? Ah yes, the word i was searching for is, LAME! That's lame ass behavior ?
At the very least, they deserve to be told off.
2026-10-01 13:46

I noticed Lael after watching your content, she just had a louder more obnoxious kind of voice.
2026-10-01 12:45

I thought of Lael but hers still feels different. If anything she just copies her own stuff since she talk about the same thing all the time yet I feel like she still has some new points every now and then and I find it entertaining. So many creators do the same topics all the time so I that I kind of just lump yall together. I wish you would name whoever is copying you because as i'm filling in the blanks with my own theories, i'm not exactly on your side.
2026-10-01 12:05

But there's only one Stephanie Lang .I'm part of the gang ?
2026-10-01 11:48

Send her a cease and desist
2026-10-01 11:37

I wish she copies this video as well. It will be so interesting?
2026-10-01 11:07

Oh it is NOT “petty” for you to ask someone to STOP STEALING from you! Tf!!?
2026-10-01 09:33

WHO IS IT?? ? I just wanna talk.
2026-10-01 09:26

I'm sorry this shit has been happening to you Steph, it's so desperately unfair. I really think it's an absolute piss-take just point blank stealing the entirety of a video's content, zero mention of the original creator & to then portray it as your own? Nahhhh... is there anything you're able to do legally or report somehow? ?
2026-10-02 08:56

no girl you are NOT the ahole. stealing is wrong. there's a reason plagiarism isn't allowed in schools.
2026-10-02 07:35

find a real job
2026-10-02 07:26

I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction I would ignore her we come here for you . If she has to copy, it says more about her than it does you, with your morals . As long as your views don’t go down massively take it as a complement she has to copy and can’t think of her own ideas. Just shows what a great job you’re doing Stephanie . That others have to literally copy . Just think of it as she is a dupe . But will never be as good as the original. There is only one you .
I’ve always enjoyed your content from your makeup days to you even pivoting and going down this direction . We come to see and support you . X
2026-10-02 06:18

Funny how the first person I thought of was Lael, especially when I knew nothing about her outside of her commentary youtube videos
2026-10-02 06:10

I don’t follow either lael or you much, just a few videos. Prior to watching this video, I would occasionally get confused between your content and hers because they were so very similar in everything and it just felt off. She IS copying you and you must take action
2026-10-02 04:41

What. Oh my says this is crazy whatttt. I loved her videos and your videos I watched yall both, turns out I only like your videos hahaha, well, idk I liked her energy and just her, but nope no more, unsubstantiated from her.
2026-10-02 04:09

Omg I thought i was the only one who noticed this, on top of the fact that she's insufferable - thank god she's getting called out!
2026-10-02 03:43

I would definitely message her. It may help and if she ignores it well you know her character now.
2026-10-02 03:40

Identify theft is not a joke,Jim!
2026-10-02 03:08

i used to watch lael and i thought if your copycat was her
2026-10-02 02:12

Viewers can report channels for impersonation, so you should confirm this person so maybe we can help point YouTube toward investigating it.
I’d imagine that effort would backfire if everyone starts reporting people off their best guess.
2026-10-02 01:33

HOW DID I FUUUUCKING KNOW IT WAS LAEL ?!?! ?
She cannot come up with an original idea.
2026-10-02 01:08

Im realizing i thought these two were the same person
2026-10-02 01:03

Stephanie lange copy cats at the moment:
Lael hanson
Leilani @leilanilei
Vera @vera295-u1
2026-10-01 23:40

You're not the bad person for trying to let your audience know that there's someone who copies your work almost steal's it. You have all the right to protect it. Sure it's good to be diplomatic, however when someone crossed over your boundary too many times you can't just say it's fine or push it to the side. Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. ?
2026-10-01 23:16

When I saw the title of your video I immediately knew who she was and yes it’s the girl mentioned all over the comment section,keep going queen even when she tried to copy you ,your content is still way more better ,we love you diva ❤❤!
2026-10-01 23:11

Are you talking about "Buckle Up" she. kind of came out of no where.
2026-10-01 22:33

ITS LEILANI GUYSSSS NOT LAELA HANSEN
2026-10-01 21:56

Copying other people's content is so disrespectful and theft. I think, you can strike down their account for copyright, I've seen a YouTuber who has been strike down by YT for copying content but i forgot its been so long
2026-10-01 20:57

I think you should've said the name because everyone is saying different channels now lol
2026-10-02 20:59

It’s Lael?! ?
2026-10-02 18:48

i love watching stephanie and when i went to Laels page A LOT of it were from her. like find some orginality
2026-10-02 16:05

I get what you're saying, and it is frustrating as hell. I just wonder if you might, if not name the person you're talking about, name some who aren't? I don't know, it just seems like other creators are getting a lot of hate that may not be deserved. Or maybe just tell your audience to not go to other creators to spread hate?
2026-10-02 13:08

I feel like i know who you are talking about
2026-10-02 11:45

Leal
2026-10-02 11:07

Ok, now I understand what the chatter has been about.
2026-10-02 10:41

I’ve seen copiers of Neil Sean, Dan Wooten and Lady C too.
2026-10-02 10:36

Don’t delete it. People need to be called out for copying.
2026-10-02 10:35

Lael Hansen, I already couldn't stand her and since her Chappell Roan video I began to realize just how misogynistic her content is.
2026-10-02 09:47

I wonder if it Lael Hansen I had to look up some topics she covers and everytime it’s so borderline offensive in a way you just don’t do. She’ll tear down someone for surgery while making fun of the same person when they show lines etc it’s like hypocrisy in the same video because without a true core or in her case she’s copying your idea you end up contradicting yourself
2026-09-30 12:21

I knew the comments would tell me who it is ?
2026-10-03 05:18

I get that it's frustrating, but it's also not that deep. It's just part of the world we live in. If anything it feels like an excuse that you feel "this person" is stealing your engagement. Just work harder. Be grateful you have a career like this, and move on.
2026-10-03 04:42

It’s crazy how she doesn’t say her name but just by the title we we all know who she’s talking about… I watched like two or three of her videos and i stopped because personally i perceived her as a little offensive sometimes
2026-10-03 04:23

Got to be Salem Tovar
2026-10-03 03:49

There is close to zero original content on YouTube.
2026-10-03 03:08

I saw this!!! the other day i saw their thumbnail and for a second thought it was you, before I saw the username
2026-10-03 03:03

Crazy! I hope that she stops because you’re an amazing creator !
2026-10-03 00:59

I think it might aswell be the German YouTuber 'Katharina Kin' Stephanie has posted a video on fillers 11 days ago then Katharina made one 7 days ago with literally almost the exact same thumbnail, even the person on the right side being the exact same as on Stephanie's video
2026-10-03 00:26

Absolutely message her to stop. Even if she ignores it, it’s documentation of the issue. Then honestly I think you should report it to YouTube
2026-10-02 23:01

Is this about the girl who clocks people's buccal fat removal when shes clearly had work done on her face lmao. BUCCAL UP BESTIES it's time to steal content!
2026-10-02 22:21

You're absolutely NOT the asshole. Inspiration is one thing, copy/paste is NOT ACCEPTABLE
2026-10-02 22:19

Who is it?
2026-10-02 22:02

Girl I've been commenting this for a whileeee I kept seeing it lol
2026-10-02 19:57

Love you! I’m sorry that this happened to you. ❤
2026-10-03 19:09

I don't think you realize how bad this makes you look.
2026-10-03 15:52

It cannot be Lael .
Lael’s “dark side of Rhode” came out 5 th July , …
Stephanie’s rant about Rhode came out 31st July .
Neither are doing anything that pushes the boundaries or hasn’t been said before .
No room for bitterness ?
2026-10-03 12:50

2:47 darling there is a guy named BadComedian, he is a youtuber very much loved in Russia, he makes critical videoessays on Russian film industry, and some of those get literally more views than the films he analyzes; so usually it takes him about 7-8 month for a single video, and we patiently wait SO it's not a problem at all <3
2026-10-04 07:20

Who is it?
2026-10-04 04:06

Is it Lael or Leilani or both? I wish there was some clarification on this since Stephanie only mentioned one person.
2026-10-04 02:45

Not even subbed but get your videos on my feed from time to time and just... immediately got who this was about.
2026-10-03 23:45

Plagerism is illegal ...
2026-10-03 21:37

Go out on a Friday night?! Darling I am a homebody. I don't do anything. Besides... My little plot of land and my little home. That's where I am. Always.
Years ago I stopped going out. Years ...
Wasn't worth it. Not at all. Especially with the shift in the world. I have my own little shangri-la. I'm happy. ??
Friday night going out. I'm a week late. And I don't know what day it is. Isn't that awesome ????? I think I am. ???? Because I'm watching you!... ❤
2026-10-04 15:25

0:07 No way she put a Sam quote lol
2026-10-04 11:01

I noticed this on YouTube for months. Youtube videos just get recycled and one topic is covered the same way but by 10 different creators…I cannot even imagine how frustrating it must be as the original creater. Already as a viewer i find it incredibly annoying.
2026-10-05 02:07

Can confirm I saw the similarities and stopped watching Lael because it was like watching the same video twice
2026-10-05 00:51

I was thinking maybe Lael? But who else COULD it be ? :o asking
2026-10-05 14:06

This is so interesting. I noticed the same thing, and knew exactly who you were referring to without you even having to say. I think that’s sad, cause I enjoy her videos, but I have been noticing similarities that couldn’t have been a coincidence.
2026-10-05 11:42

If it’s lael Hansen, I literally just clicked off her video to watch yours instead because I don’t like her style of speech and love yours hahah
2026-10-05 09:25

Welp I was genuinely confused to why I kept seeing the same video that I already watched ?. That’s crazy
2026-10-06 08:53

OMG, I’m glad you posted this video, her videos pop on my timeline and I knew her but did not know you! I’m subscribing to your channel (and unsubscribing hers, as I liked her content but didn’t like the way she talks).
2026-10-06 11:26

Can she maybe disclose it already? People mentioning Lael confuse me because, well shit there are going to be overlaps in their content when both creators are talking about plastic surgery and unrealistic beauty standards, the overlap isn't going to be huge. If she could call out the actual creator instead of allowing other creators to get shit on, it'd be for the better.
2026-10-06 09:34

Kind of like the surgeon guy who comments on your videos. You put in a ton of work and he gets views just by talking about you.
2026-10-06 06:25

I did just go on her channel, and she isn't even trying to hide the fact that she's plagiarizing your videos. Just see the thumbnails ??? she's so confident into thinking that she would never be caught
2026-10-06 01:55

Don’t delete it please!
let’s not normalise this behaviour
2026-10-06 00:24

poppp off Stephanie we agreee 100%%%%%%%%%%%%%
2026-10-05 23:01

Is it Lael Hansen? I've almost scratch my head, when stumbling on, to her YouTube channel. It reminded me, of your thumbnail, and YouTube content alot! ?? Otherwise, I don't get the feeling. She's a bad person. Love Lael personality too! Even when, i do agree on. That it's morally wrong, to copie, all of your YouTube content, right on the detail. I literally feelt like, when i was younger. If someone was wearing the same clothes, as me. I wanted to take, my clothes, and throw it away. I hate the feeling of, being like everyone else. But at the same time, I don't want to be put in a category or be labeled ether. Hahaha ❤️??
2026-10-05 11:37

Speaking of copying, I swear there’s at least one AI ad that’s using your voice as a fake voiceover. I’m sure I’ve seen one for sunscreen and one for like beachy clothing or something.
2026-10-05 11:33

Just read the comments for the name. Hahahah... I'm sorry for laughing but that content creator is sht. I'm surprised she is copying you because your videos come across super authentic. But she is garbage. And I think I know why... You get genuinely unnerved by some of your topics but since she's copying all her rants are super performative.
2026-10-05 10:08

You are definitely not the asshole here, girl. I’ve followed your content for many years and have always loved it. You helped me both feel confident my own natural skin that was prone to cystic acne for a long time and now has lots of texture and taught me how to feel put together and dolled up with makeup. I’ve loved your newer content as well. You put a ton of thought and work into it. Having someone completely rip off your work is not cool. And you didn’t call her out which is honorable bc she surely deserves it.
2026-10-05 09:58

It also over-saturates the YouTube “market” for us viewers & makes it hard for us to find actual quality content. For example try finding a decent asmr/ambiance seasonal background video… you have to scroll through endless AI slop & it’s all THE SAME junk over & over again, it feels just like scrolling on Amazon where hundreds shitty products have all copied each other so there’s nothing but the same trendy junk product & you can find no variation in style, design, materials, etc. even the lazy absurdly fake copy/paste stock photos are *identical*
I hate seeing the same thing happen here on YouTube when it’s supposed to be a place of creativity & uniqueness. Anyways I don’t know how you wouldn’t be pissed about your videos getting copied, I’d be LIVID. Idk if you were advised to not share who’s doing it but I’m not sure why you shouldn’t be allowed to blast them, you’re doing nothing wrong & there should be some damn justice
2026-10-05 07:58

Omgosh!! take a deep breath and slow down. Talking too fast
2026-10-05 07:04

Steph you have every reason to feel how you do! She can copy you by acting like you ,using your words and images is a form of theft ! Not only she is getting paid off your idea , your time and work! Im sure this can be illegal and in some ways if she des not stop be threatened with a lawsuit
2026-10-05 05:09

REPORT HER!
Under YouTube guidelines this would come under impersonation and /or spam.
Although it’s blatantly stealing your ideas and hardwork, unfortunately it doesn’t technically qualify for a copy write claim under YouTube’s own terms, because she is using her voice and it’s not word for word exact.
As a fellow YouTuber and creator who like you, dedicates an insane amount of time & effort to pre-production, filming & post, this boils my pi55!
This is YOUR content & intellectual property. Make sure you get copies of ALL her videos that are clones of yours and document EVERYTHING.
For the record, you’re one of the most original, entertaining and charismatic YouTubers in the beauty space and your videos are benchmark top-tier. We’re all behind you ❤
2026-10-05 01:45

I think everyone sucks here. But OP, Sam and Leah are the primary assh*les
2026-10-05 00:54

Aside of the main topic, I think it’s important to discuss that a creator of this growth, should be sharing the workload and profit of their fame. An editor is not a huge expense for example, and it’s useful, upgrades the quality and gives an opportunity to an art expert do the work they are passionate with.
2026-10-06 23:34

Friday enjoying my ass, id be study for uni ?
2026-10-06 22:31

why not name and shane her?
2026-10-07 14:03

If its Lael shes copying you, kiki and Michelle Mcdaniels ? she just posted a tanmaxxing video that looked super similar to michelles from 3 days ago.
2026-10-08 05:16

Nuh uh you’re not the asshole.
Genuinely annoying, and it’s just straight up plagiarism and copying.
Taking credit for something they didn’t do. Literally just the same thing. No originality so there is no need for those.
So you can block or report them.
2026-10-08 04:37

I saw one of her videos pop up on my fyp and I was legit so confused because I could’ve swore you had one exactly the same I knew I wasn’t going crazy
2026-10-08 01:49

Please do an update video on Lael Hansen who Patrick CC discussed
2026-10-08 18:26

Quizás sea Lael
Pasa que muchas creadoras de contenido suben los temas de tendencia y casi no hay temas originales
2026-10-08 12:24

Any Lael Hansen update?
2026-10-08 10:04

Stephanie, I don't think you should keep the creator anonymous. So many people are speculating now because of this video and are on a witch hunt which can affect youtubers who simply cover similar topics to yours but have different content. If the real culprit you are accusing of plagiarism is named, there wouldn't be innocent people getting unfairly accused by people who watch this video and act based on speculation.
2026-10-09 04:11

You should make a satire video with nonsensical information and sneak a disclaimer somewhere in the description that everything in this video is false and then watch her steal the video. When she steals it you should flag her video for spreading misinformation ?
2026-10-10 05:10

Also, please do not use AI ever, Stephanie! I love your content, would be so sad if you did
2026-10-12 09:20

Yes. It's Lael... I stopped watching because of the hate campaign about Chappelle Roann and because she seems so judgemental sometimes . Like she enjoys a to hop on a hate train specially if the hate is women... And AI use? Ew bye
2026-10-12 09:19

0:10 i love sambucha
2026-10-12 07:21

Sigh. It's Laura Jane, isnt it?
2026-10-12 07:12

????? 1000 points for the PanterA shirt CFH FTW
2026-10-12 04:25

No your great
2026-10-12 02:44

I don’t think she’s talking about Lael Hansen. Her videos aren’t the exact same. When I watch Steph and her I don’t feel like Lael copies her at all. I could be wrong. But I don’t see it. I love both of them. ??
2026-10-13 06:31

Can't you file a complaint to the police??? Isn't it illegal?
2026-10-13 05:52

Hey, right now a lot of people are assuming it's one person in particular. It could be that they are incorrect, and that now they are getting undue criticism for what you are bringing up.
In this situation, if you are going to bring up the problem, you need to bring up the SPECIFIC person you have grievance with so that someone isn't (perhaps) falsely accused.
2026-10-13 10:03

Lael? I’ve also saw a video from Patrick Cc, “the courious case of Leal…” omg the lore.
She is also so much more rude and now it makes sense, she got more famous also being rude to bad baby
2026-10-14 05:49

Are you talking about the YouTuber TaylerTalks?
2026-10-14 04:43

God this woman is so hot
2026-10-15 22:26

It's crazy because I came across your channel first and really liked it (still). A few days later YouTube recommended me this girl's channel ? (that's wild YouTube!!) and I didn't know at the time she was copying your content, actually I had a crazy experience: I was watching one of her videos and I had this gut feeling like "something is off", something about her expression or the way she presented the topic. It felt like she was just checking points and completing a chore, it didn't feel authentic!
And now watching this video everything makes sense lol
Sorry if I express poorly, English is not my first language.
What I'm trying to say is that authentic feels on the bones, is truly a gut feeling, you know? Happens the same thing with AI content ?
Anyway, keep doing what your doing! Love your channel and we support you ❤
2026-10-16 11:40

Yep, a lot of cheating on you tube I’ve noticed. I’m sick of watching people watching other YouTubers watching others and commenting on comments on comments!
Anyway, Lael sounds so annoying! She screeches all the way!
2026-10-14 05:20

I dont think its leilani i think it could be lael. Leilani thumbnails r similar but she seems young and innocent
2026-10-12 07:25

Is it Salem Tovar? Just watched your newest video and a day later she’s posted one the same
2026-10-17 05:21

Oh come on, everyone is copying eachother on YouTube. Are you 100% original?
2026-10-17 03:56

This person is the Irate Gamer of Stephanie’s content. IYKYK ?
2026-10-17 01:30

Sabrina Raminov literally teaches how to do this and do it with AI so that you dont even have to show up any more. ak.
2026-10-16 23:27

It’s so sad and frustrating ?
2026-10-17 19:14

0:07
Hate that phrase & disagree
2026-10-17 18:56

Omg I knew smth was wrong with Lael's content because her thumbnails, titles, and actual content is always so mean and snarky towards women. Stephanie for example defends women in general while judging the beauty standards. But Lael is just mean...
2026-10-17 10:16

This is what I've been saying I was just I just made this comment under that influencer Erin's video where she's putting the stars in a piece of hair and then you she puts it over as a headband and it's like can't anybody have an original idea and have an original video because once one but some like one person does something that's all my feet is it's the exact same thing but it's a different person doing the exact same thing where it says that same topic the exact same hairstyle the exact same makeup look and it's like to figure out your own videos I don't need to see the same thing over and over and over just with a different person in front of the camera I mean honestly get an original idea make your own videos but they don't they just copy somebody else and that's all this is anymore is one person with an original idea and its replicated over 100,000 times
2026-10-09 13:28

Salem Tovar did it again....
2026-10-18 08:18

Закидай её страйками!
2026-10-18 16:27

omg thank you for making this video! I have watched a ton of Laels videos recently and didnt know that they were copies of yours :( Now I will unsubscribe and make sure I watch yours instead! So sorry this is happening to you and all your hard work. Ive never seen someone rant in such an honourable and kind way
2026-10-18 04:44

I figured out this influencer who copies is Seline Tovar. Recently I watched your new video about Becca Bloom and then in two days i saw her coming up with the same topic!?
And this "Becca Bloom" is also a copied up persona because Rebecca Bloom is a name of a shopoholic character from Sophie Kinsella's book series's ?
2026-10-18 04:32

Lael even took your vid promo hahaha
2026-10-21 01:17

I enjoy her videos from time to time, but I've also noticed that that content creator has an odd habit of self-plagiarism and depicting celebrities on her thumbnails as if they expressed the attitudes and perspectives that she's just seeing as a trend among generic influencers and regular people on social media.
2026-10-17 17:34

Guys !! I did some research and some girl @ leilanilei has suspiciously the same thumbnails and kind of the same topics. I feel like its not Lael, I watch her videos a lot and unless i'm clueless ....
2026-10-08 22:05

I follow a bunch of creators that post similar content (mostly beauty related). Sometimes I've gotten recommended videos where I'm like..."I coulda sworn I just watched that!" Just based off the title of the thumbnail. I like Lael but I feel like she just copied James Welsh's video about "tanmaxxing." Even the thumbnail is nearly identical. She posed 7 days after he did :(
2026-10-08 09:30

Good that Youtube is going to stop allowing copied content - Hopefully they'll really stop the AI copies, too!
2026-10-07 16:07

Hey friend - just so you know Phil from Pantera is a |\|@z!
2026-10-04 09:12

I knew it was Lael without even knowing who is guilty ???
2026-10-21 18:04

She was a Billie Eilish wannabe too... She's always copying someone smh
2026-10-21 15:10

OMG girl you know janae danyiel ????
2026-10-04 02:43

I see this allover youtube wether its drama or these content so many copy each other fr
2026-10-04 00:53

it's not "just youtube". you have every right to be upset no explanation needed
2026-10-22 04:45

So much respect for you! We love ya!
2026-10-24 12:32

Lael right ?
2026-10-25 09:01

9:24 YESSS!!!!
2026-10-25 22:13

It's not petty. You have every right to request she stop or you will report her. Youtube takes copyright very seriously.
2026-10-27 12:33

I clicked on a video a while ago that I thought was from you because the thumbnail looked like it was from your channel, and it was jarring when it wasn’t you talking. I clicked off immediately. I don’t use the word “ick” very often, but that’s how I felt ?
2026-10-24 13:05

Okay but your shirt!! ??
I loooove Pantera girl. ??
2026-10-23 10:06

But it’s not lael… idk about the comments but lael has been posting this content for years, she’s been posting Gen Z, beauty standards, filler, trends, surgical enhancement, Hollywood.. etc commentary for years now. The forehead kiss thing, it’s not just one YouTuber. I’ve seen at least 3 other than lael do it. Lael’s commentary is clearly her personality. Plus, I love Stephanie but it’s not like the topics she’s talking about are exclusively noted down by her & never noticed by anyone else. Neither she or lael are the ones having a revelation & are bringing awareness to something no one noticed before them. We are all thinking about the same things everyday, that’s why we relate when we watch either hers or lael’s vids. Idk who it is but it can’t be lael. I’ve scrolled through both of their channels & the thumbnail styles they both use are very common among many channels who talk about the same topics. The topics are similar across almost all pop culture & commentary channels as well. Idk but ya’ll are tweaking. I love both Stephanie & lael, their videos are my comfort zone & bedtime lullabies lol
2026-10-23 07:27

With AI copying becomes an even bigger problem. An AI channel is consistently copying Clutterbug for example. So unfair!
2026-10-22 16:43

it’s crazy because the same girl literally copied billie ellish !! and billie write copy cat about her ?
2026-10-22 07:20

Stephanie..... I like you... you are such a good intelligent person. Im so sorry... keep doing you. I hope this girl gets a karma sandwich soon.
2026-10-22 02:07

STEFANIE, don't delete this video! It's important!!!
2026-10-03 18:03

9:47 ohh I'M really sorry stephanie and I just wanna say I also love Janae Danyiel's videos❤..
2026-10-03 15:56

girl i get how you must be feeling my friend recently asked me to send my powerpoint to her so she could get an idea but she copied my whole color palette the layout... the worst thing i took sm effort to make it and she just fed my powerpoint to ai and asked it make a similar one
2026-10-03 15:17

Well I'm not out right now so I'm watching this on a Friday lol.
It's nice to know that there are YouTubers who do things themselves, starting on YouTube when you have absolutely nothing thinking you NEED a team and all that is discouraging it's cool to know like.. your channel you would think you would have a team because it's very good quality imo
2026-10-03 13:21

Ppl that copy should be banned and not allowed to create videos anymore
2026-10-03 10:37

It’s time to hold people accountable and that includes stating their name and channel. I feel like if she feels as if she has multiple eyes on her page watching for thievery, then she’ll be less inclined to steal lol
2026-10-03 07:19

This is happening across the minimalism sphere too. x
2026-10-31 16:36
