Companies can monitor each other feed by monitoring facebook, twitter and any forums. Then they can take any trending idea or whatever they prefer without the user aknowledge that it has been taken from him and its nearly impossible to prove.

I feel like in somecases this prevents "inventors" getting value from their work. Some bigger already established company just merges the idea be part of it without even telling the user.

You didnt understand what I mean. They are changing the rules that they can copy whatever material we post in the internet but we cant copy theirs. If I make a funny meme or image manipulation from something I dont actually get any income even if it becomes viral or something, But companies get real income from stealing stuff from internet users. Its completely unfair and you cant make patent to internet memes or comments or whatever ideas you post.

Well you should have explained that your "work" wasn't really work, but rather memes. If you want to make a living off of memes then I wish you good luck :)

If you want to create a serious invention or you're a serious graphic designer (or whatever) who is getting a stable income as a freelancer then my suggestion is perfectly valid, and in fact what most people do.

I am artisan so my income should become from my work&design&ideas and so forth. If I post an image to imgurl or anywhere I should have full copyright ? Or are everyone able to copy my design, idea, content, textures or whatever and claim its their own? I dont have any copyrights or so forth.

If you have copyrighted your work you should post it on your own platform (website or similar) and advertise it on whatever social media you see fit.

Facebook, Instagram and the other social media websites can monetize your work because you're posting it on THEIR platform. If you want to avoid this the answer is simple. Don't post your shit on their platform. If you take down your pictures (delete them from their social media platform) their license to use your work is revoked, and they can no longer monetize it.

But yeah as I said, if you want to make money and avoid Facebook (etc..) making money off of your work you need to make your own website, and link to your website in Facebook. That way none of your content is actually hosted by Facebook.

That is completely unfair since facebook, instagram and so forth are so commonly used. If I want to show my work to my closest friends or family it shouldnt be possible to monetize. They have monopoly and shouldnt be able to steal work from invidual users.

It's their platform. You signed their TOS (Terms of Services) when you made your account. Don't like it? Don't use it. It's really that simple. There are 1000000000000 other ways to send your family and closest friends pictures.

I just hate that. So I need to create everything own my own right from the start. I need own internet, i need to build own pc, i need to build own custom internet and so forth so nobody could claim my work accidentially. Thats how the society dont work. You always use someone else product, facebook also uses pc´s made by someone else and os software made by someone else, so their content belongs to linux.

Yeah, they agreed linux TOS( terms of service) when they installed their servers on linux based systems. I am from finland and linux was developed here so ur content belongs to finland.

Finland belongs to Europe, Europe belongs to Earth, Earth belongs to Kim Jong Un. This ultimately means that Kim Jong Un can monetize your memes and you can't do shit about it.
