Because most original content normally goes down the shitter and it's easier and less work just to grab someone else's work and either claim it as your own or just keep it and share it, knowing that it will be more popular than the average content, and rip away the views and favorites.

I don't condone it one bit, but that's normally why people copy and paste content; easier and 'safer' since they don't waste time actually making something but get views on something already popular.

That and because some people just love free stuff and love to share it with others, so why pay for it when you can get it for free? Kind of also why piracy exists.
