    The Legal Heist

    How do you get paid for someone else's video?

    You're Hermes, god of thieves, and you have twelve followers. Zeus just decided: in thirty days, the least-followed god on Olympus becomes mortal.

    So you learn the only theft that pays: clipping. Find a stream nobody watches. Apollo has been live for eleven hours, for nine viewers. Wait for the moment: at 3:47 a.m. he falls off his chair. Cut thirty seconds, vertical, with the fall in the very first second.

    Then get paid. Brands pay clippers by the view: on StreamClipping's live campaigns that week, about two euros per thousand. A hundred thousand views is about two hundred euros, for thirty seconds of someone else's life.

    But it's not your video. Post it without asking, and Apollo can have it taken down. Ask first, and he can say no, and post it himself. Then the counter moves: nine viewers, ten. Someone else saw the fall.

    Vote open: Steal his moment, or ask him first? Closes Oct 18, 2026 · 1pm ET.
