Metal VS Shingle Roofing

When it comes to protecting your home, the roof is your first line of defense against the elements. For decades, asphalt shingles have been the go-to choice for homeowners due to their low upfront cost and ease of installation. However, as building technology has advanced and extreme weather events become more frequent, many are starting to look at their roof as a long-term investment rather than a recurring expense. The debate between these two materials often boils down to a “now vs. later” mentality. While shingles are budget-friendly in the short term, metal roofing has emerged as the superior choice for those who want a “once-and-done” solution. In 2026, the transition toward metal is accelerating, driven by its unmatched longevity, energy efficiency, and modern aesthetic. Understanding the nuances of each material is the key to making a choice that fits both your current budget and your home’s future value. Longevity: The 50-Year Gap The most ...

Anyone else fed up with copyright claims from BViral?

BViral, the social video licensor and distributor, has made my life hell for the last couple years. I'm a social video editor for a large brand, and we license all of our content either from partners like ViralHog, Newsflare, Jukin Media, etc, or directly from a UGC creator.

It's normal to get an occasional copyright claim from a partner or creator on a Facebook video featuring footage we've licensed from them. Usually when this happens, we appeal the claim, it's lifted, and we communicate with the claimant about whitelisting our page since we're fairly licensing their content to use. We don't average more than 10 claims a month from a particular claimant.

BViral slaps copyright claims onto videos featuring any content they've also licensed, and the frequency is absurd. We receive dozens to over 100 claims per month from BViral, all of which we successfully appeal, and BViral refuses to consider whitelisting our page, let alone respond to our emails.

Their business practice strikes me as nothing but malicious, unlike anything I encounter with other brands in the social media industry. Their strategy seems to be to cast as wide a net as possible by applying copyright claims on any video that features footage they've licensed (sometimes non-exclusively, sometimes exclusively after we've obtained a license first), and to hope the barrage of claims will fatigue page managers so they can receive revenue sharing. Has anyone else been hampered with fighting off bogus claims from the wide net they're casting?
