ex. Someone said that the hawk tuah girl became millionaire overnight from her short video but what prevents people to make money with hawk tuah themed merch or YT or w/e off of her without having to pay her? It’s not like she already copyrighted the hawk tuah words right? Who offers her money and for what? Thank you.

I’ve been a pretty viral meme before. Widespread shares on facebook, a bunch of updoots here. Picture on WGN Morning News, all the Chicago news shows, a bunch of out of state news shows too. Good Morning America, Wendy Williams Show, the whole 9 yards. Front page of the local paper and a couple radio interviews.
I didn’t make any money off it, but my Tinder was pretty lit for the next month or two. Locals still recognize me sometimes and I’m 99 percent positive that Adam Levine knows I exist.
I think if I went viral a few years later, when TikTok is what it is today, I could have monetized it somewhat pretty easily. I probably could have made money on it five years ago when it happened, but it would have taken a lot of work and wouldn’t have made enough to be worth it. So I just enjoyed my 15 minutes and it makes for a good story at the bar these days.
