Putting it bluntly, if you have the time to be reading this page and having a bad reaction to it, perhaps it's time to learn a little more. The idea this trope exists as much in the modern era is a little sad. The absurd extreme of this is when old-timers show off their long memories by dismissing new shows as rehashes of older productions which a lot of the times undermine the vast history of things that came before it outside of Small Reference Pools. Has also been known as "The Hydrox Effect" because people assumed that Hydrox was a knock-off of Oreo, even though Hydrox came out in 1908 and Oreo, which came out in 1912, was inspired by Hydrox. This is often a huge Berserk Button for fans of the original and the original creator. In extreme cases, an older, lesser-known work is accused of copying the more popular work that borrowed from it. This can also make the fans of the more "popular" feature look really hypocritical if the alleged victim of ripoffs wasn't all that original to begin with. Many "ripoffs" were in fact in development at the same time, but due to the development window for most modern media, could be released months or even years apart. Their options are to either reduce the quality of your work in order to get it out first or be written off as a cheap imitation of the competitor's product (which they probably watered down to be first out of the gate). This assumption can be infuriating to creators of products that are similar to products being designed simultaneously. And enough followers can even go From Clones to Genre. Some can actually be quite good on their own. If everything that was derivative was that bad, it wouldn't be done so much. The error here is the automatic assumption that just because something is similar, it can't have any value on its own merits. Other times it might come up with a really cool and ingenious new spin on the idea, and still never reach the same kind of popularity as its competition because somehow being too much like the original is deplorable. They will immediately try to make something to compete - and most of the time it will fail miserably because it was rushed or just implemented poorly. This is not always the case, however, as sometimes creators deliberately try to copy a particular franchise as soon as its success becomes evident. Considering that just about everything has been done, it's difficult to properly think of something new and fresh. Of course, many times creators do borrow ideas from another work as inspiration to create new stories and concepts.
