Found one of my clips on this Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkhq8AcpDOSofeAvemHi0Tg
He/She also gives instructions how to download any video from any website for free.
I would think that all clips are from various microstock sites, some of them clearly showing Shutterstock watermark.
I don't understand the motive of why would somebody put in so much work to offer stock videos for free download. Is he/she hoping to earn $0.10 though Youtube ads?
I submitted copyright complain to Youtube.

Adding to my post. He/she was able to remove website logo or make it almost invisible (including my clip, which he downloaded from Shutterstock, if I saw this video on Youtube for the fist time, I wouldn't have even noticed the Shutterstock logo, it was that invisible). I submit videos to 3 sites Pond5, SS and Adobe. I looked at my clips on these sites and noticed that Adobe and SS are not doing a good job at protecting the content. The watermark they are putting over video is too small and transparent, so on certain types of videos for a person with the right set of skills, it would be very easy to hide it. FYI
