Irfan Junejo, in a very short interval of time, becomes one of the most loving YouTuber of Pakistan. His vlogs and his videos loved by almost every Pakistani and overseas. He has also a very big fan following from youtube.
His work clearly shows the effort that he puts in to make his videos and the hard work that he puts in to create his content. A couple of days ago he raised his voice on his twitter account for blaming the TV channels of Pakistan for stealing his videos.
Hello, I am a YouTuber/Filmmaker from Pakistan. This is a thread of how my content gets stolen or used without permission, quite ironically to promote a positive image of Pakistan 🙂
