They even setup a page to look like it’s me. They are taking all my recent YouTube videos

Bonjour Nick,
On the one hand, it's certainly theft; on the other, it's recognition of the quality of your videos.

If this happened to me, perhaps I would get more views on my channel?

That said, I don't know Facebook, and I don't know if Facebook views count toward your video counts on YouTube.

Besides that, does this have any impact on your modeling business? Are you on Facebook yourself?

It doesn’t help me as they are likely collecting money from views on Facebook and I am likely to get less views on YouTube as people would not watch my video on YouTube if they’ve already seen it on Facebook… the videos play on Facebook with no connection to YouTube…

Send a takedown notice to Facebook.  I'd be surprised if Facebook is at fault, unless they refuse.

Report it to FB Nick and they will take it down pretty quick.

Update: I reported 3 of the 5 videos as they have to be done individually and Facebook removed them. Now to report the other two and any others I find… the fake Nick’s steam toys profile is still up and I have reported that a couple times…

Well, it might be a truly miserable thing for them to be doing ...... but at least they have good taste in selecting your videos to steal!   ;c)

Ya, I know ...... not really very funny.
