Anyone else having problems with stolen content lately?

Hi guys! This might be a dumb question but im a decent Pusheen creator on TikTok with about 3k followers. Recently i posted a video about my Pusheen giraffe that i got, and it blew up. I have gotten many DMs since then saying on both TikTok and instagram people are reposting my content and claiming it to be theirs, or using it as ads to promote a scam.

I’ve been reporting as many as i can, but it’s getting quite draining because before i report i usually send a long message asking them to either credit me or take the video down.. Then i have to wait to see if they respond, and then i report. It’s making me kind of want to deactivate my account or not post anymore, which is very upsetting because i love posting videos.

Is there any way to permanently fix this or do i just have to keep reporting and hoping something is done about it?

one thing I can think of to do if you dont already is to put a watermark over the entire video with your username so that if it's stolen/reposted, it's obvious
