So… apparently someone has cloned a bunch of my videos!
They’ve been re-uploading my meditations under a different name - Thalos Dawn - same audio, same videos, even using AI generated pictures of me on the thumbnails 😅
One of the thumbnails has me sitting cross-legged too… which is how you can tell it’s definitely not me. It’s been a very long time since these 50-year-old hips could pull that off 🤣🧘🏾
On one level, it’s a weird compliment.
On another level, it’s not okay... because it creates confusion, and it risks disrupting the whole point of these meditations: a quiet, uninterrupted space.
The real issue
I don’t want anyone thinking it’s me and then getting interrupted by adverts halfway through a meditation.
So here’s the clearest way to tell: If you ever hear adverts interrupting a meditation with my voice, that upload isn’t from me.
For clarity: I’ve requested YouTube not to place adverts during any of my meditations. So ads mid-meditation = not my channel.
I posted about it… and you mobilised
I put a post up on YouTube, and the response honestly floored me.
Hundreds of you jumped into action... reporting the channel, warning others, and backing me up immediately. At the time of writing, there are almost 500 comments full of people saying they’ve reported it.
There’s an army out there.
Heaven forbid I ever get into some real trouble... I now know I’ve got some serious backup 🤣
So thank you.
Thank you for protecting this space.
Thank you for caring enough to act.
Thank you for looking out not just for me, but for the people who are newer here, the ones who might not know the difference yet and just want a quiet, uninterrupted place to take a few breaths.
You’re all wonderful.
One last request
If you already reported the channel: thank you — that’s enough now 😅
We probably don’t need more reports at this point. It’s in YouTube’s hands, and I’d rather you keep your energy for your actual life.
If you want to help going forward, the most useful thing is simply this:
Make sure you’re subscribed to my official channel
Share my channel with someone who might need it
And if you ever hear ads interrupting a “Chibs” meditation, assume it’s not my upload
