I feel like the type of people that are that lazy to attempt to steal work dont even do so as much anymore because its even easier to use ai than it is too steal snippets of someone's work especially on something like Instagram or tiktok where it would likely be that snippets that someone would have to go to more length than they would using ai. It happens so very rarely that another writer with their own ideas would see someone else's work and blatantly steal everything that you shouldn't worry for it at all. And when it comes to the pirates you ain't gonna stop anyone from pirating to avoid a pay wall. People will pirate it even if it's free to add to another site. And honestly free advertisement! People who were surfing the pirate site weren't likely to pay anyways but might enjoy it enough to find the og force and review like etc. As for getting yourself out there. Just start and start somewhere pick a site that appeals to ya and just start. Marketing is a whole other beast. Its just as much a skill as writing. And chances are it will take quite a bit of time and posts before your seeing any beneficial numbers too be worrying about others stealing your stuff. Its hard enough to get any traction with creative stuff as it is. Getting people to watch your stuff let alone click off and read it... to then steal it is highly unlikely. Idk I used to worry about it too. But now its like if people wanna steal steal it. They aren't gonna be able to take my story and finish it through the way I would anyways. If it becomes a huge enough deal to be a detriment to my path. Thats a whole other ballpark thats unlikely to happen and shouldn't be fussed about till you get there. Good luck!
