Transparency & Creator Integrity in the #cantinachallenge 🚨
I am reaching out to the community and platform management regarding a severe case of concept plagiarism within the current Contra x Cantina Creator Challenge.
An official Cantina Ambassador recently launched a micro-series for this challenge using the exact title and core concept of my active, running series, "Platform 13". I have been writing, producing, and publishing this exact series on Mochi TV for over a month (with 4 episodes already live).
For independent creators, our concepts and names are our identity. It is incredibly discouraging to see a spotlighted brand ambassador lift a running project and present it as their own fresh creation for a contest.
I am publicly requesting the Cantina and Contra teams to review this situation. An official ambassador shouldn't be allowed to leverage an independent creator’s existing intellectual footprint to win a challenge.

Platform 13 EP 1 - Mochi
Every time Bengaluru’s power flickers, a phantom metro platform appears and she sends one passenger back to the life they walked away from. Each rescue erases another trace of her.
Hey !
Platform 13 concept I already run on mochi tv and started the series a month ago. 4 episodes already out.
Hey @MOVAN Y ! I appreciate you sharing this + I can definitely see why the shared title stood out to you.
For some context, I came up with the concept for my series and used ChatGPT as a brainstorming tool during my ideation process, then developed and created the series in...

Just published a new case study👀
This project was a good reminder that a product video is not just about making things move. It’s about finding the right way to explain something complex, keeping the visuals clear, and making sure every animation has a purpose.
For this one, I worked on an AI coaching platform, turning its features and workflow into a structured 90-second explainer.

The motion design is top tier 🔥 , love how the product features was communicated and the use of glassmorphism🙌
This platform needs less AI generated content.
I don’t mean “less using AI tools for work.” I mean less AI bots commenting for users, less Case Studies written exclusively by AI, and more people caring about the work we do rather than rushing through it.
I kept the commenter anonymous. I did not mean to be rude in this comment, but I feel slightly off each time I read a comment that has no soul. I have even seen $1M+ Contra creators completely AI generate their case studies and just post something of no substance with words that don’t make sense.
I challenge you, if you do this or if you have thoughts about doing it, try the opposite: put more time into reading posts and interacting, put more time into writing and studying for your case studies. See how much you grow. Your influence and your skills will both expand when you stick to authenticity.
