Me siento Satisfecho
me parece muy profesional el trabajo que realizan respecto a la venta del material y al pago de esto mismo, espero poder seguir recibiendo mi comisión por el material vendido a ustedes, si bien hubieron muchas empresas que me contactaron yo decidí realizar el contrato con ustedes y no con su competencia.

Terrible Experience
UPDATE: Today (January 17, 2025), approximately 1 year and 7 months after my Original Review. Viral Hog decides to respond to me to make my very truthful review seem less devastating for them. It's kind of strange that Viral Hog would attempt to reach out now with insignificant inaccurate details, almost 2 years later rather than speak to me and address my concerns then. Viral Hog mentioned that I used not one but two of their videos. I will again say this with certainty, I have never used anyone's video without the express written consent of the original contact creator. If that Creator then sold their video to Viralhog I can't help that. I will continue to stress and believe, as it is my opinion as well as others, that ViralHog is a money hungry company that cares nothing about people or their lively hood. That is my opinion as well as the opinion of multiple other people who have made videos on YouTube as well as other formats. Not to mention the lawsuits against Viralhog regarding their unethical practices. I wish to put this terrible company in my rearview mirror, as they have traumatized me enough.
After I posted a video and it received views, the video was bought by Viralhog. ViralHog did not contact me to take down the video (which I would have gladly did). When I asked them why they didn't contact me they gave a very RUDE response saying they don't have to give me the privilege of asking me to take it down. But the real reason they put the strike on my page rather than asking me to take it down, was so they can extort me for $200.
In response to my copyright strike Viralhog GENERIC RESPONSE to me was (WHEN WE TAKE ACTION ON ANY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM WE ARE DEFENDING OUR CLIENT’S RIGHTS.) Yet Viralhog said if I want to keep the video up and have themlremove the copyright infringement strike. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM $200. Which means they really don't care if I have the video up, as long as I pay them money.
I am an older woman who make cooking videos and occasionally put up funny animal videos, and they're trying to extort money from me. They keep telling me it's legal. Just because it's legal doesn't mean that it's not a terrible practice all in the name of money. They are messing up people's livelihoods by putting copyright infringement strikes on people's page. I am an elderly lady who's raising my grandkids and now my page cannot get revenue for 7 days. Facebook stopped my monetization because of the copyright strike, which is really going to affect me. I only made $1.46 off of that video and they want to extort $200 from me, which is almost 196% increase from what I made.
This is a terrible company with very low morals. Demanding $200 from a grandmother on low income is terrible. I don't have over 40 million followers like they do, but collectively with all my social medias sites I have over 75,000 followers, an I will be telling my followers EVERY SINGLE DAY until my copyright infringement strike is off (even if it takes a whole year until the strike naturally falls off), the bad business practices of Viralhog.
UPDATE: On August 1, 2023 Viralhog sent me a response to my review. In the response you can see that Viralhog stated,
(From our records, it doesn’t appear that you have done business with us. Please get in touch with our support staff to discuss this matter in more detail.)
First, In order for this review to stay up and be verified, I had to prove that I had dealings and interactions with Viralhog.
Second, telling me to get in touch so we can discuss the matter in more detail, is truly sad to me, Because If Viralhog had actually read my review or took me serious, they would have known that my entire review is what happened as a result of me getting in touch with them to discuss the matter in detail.
Generic responses will not solve anything.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how frustrating this situation must be and genuinely want to clarify any misunderstandings.
First, it's important to understand that this matter does not represent a legitimate customer experience with our company. It pertains to a separate legal issue regarding intellectual property protection. Our actions are guided by our agreements with content licensors, ensuring their copyrights are safeguarded. This is not a personal attack but an adherence to the legal obligations we uphold on their behalf.
Regarding your claim of extortion, it is essential to clarify that enforcing copyright is a legal right, not an unlawful act. When someone uses copyrighted material without permission, there are several ways to address it, including issuing a copyright strike. Settlement offers, like the one extended to you, are a standard resolution option to avoid prolonged disputes. This process is entirely legal, transparent, and not coercive.
The video in question was obtained from a third party who incorrectly represented themselves as the rightful owner and had no legal authority to use the video, let alone give out permission. As a result, the license you acquired for this specific video was invalid. The responsibility to ensure proper permissions were obtained for any content you use still rests with the user. It's essential to conduct due diligence and verify that content is appropriately licensed before publishing or monetizing it.
Additionally, there is no mention of you using another one of our videos without obtaining permission. This further emphasizes our responsibility to protect our licensors' intellectual property rights and enforce copyright where necessary.
We strive to handle all cases respectfully and fairly. If our response came across as impolite, we sincerely apologize—that was not our intention. The communication you referenced emphasized that we take action to defend our client's rights, in line with our unwavering commitment to ethical business practices and copyright law.
We encourage you to review the matter and consider resolving it amicably carefully. Protecting intellectual property is an essential part of our commitment to supporting content creators and fostering a fair, creative ecosystem.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
