At half the video I knew the main culprit was about to be revealed, then he put the “contrapoints” lighting and I was like please don’t be contra, and he starts talking about how that person was stealing from smaller lgbtq creators and I was oh fuck, is contra, but then it was actually that guy I didn’t even knew existed and was a relief.
Given the amount of time between Contra videos, I would be really surprised if she was plagiarizing

LEMMY is how I find out there’s a new hbomber video? Not my fucking YOUTUBE SUBSCRIPTION ALERTS??
Thanks, Google!
Looks like some people don’t get the meme here. The first domino refers to the first hbomb video against aurini. Please don’t make me explain the joke
Breadtubers who aggregate and present unified information is still legitimate content creation. People dont want to watch multiple 2hour long documentaries and read 10 articles. So if a breadtuber does that and condenses that into a 30min video, good for them. Improving citation is a legitimate point but ultimately not that important for most people.
It’s not condensing when it’s a) copying verbatim and b) not citing sources.
It’s not an issue citation needing to be improved. It needs to exist at all. And the audience’s opinion on whether citation is important to them is a total non-issue. Their opinions don’t matter in this regard.
You cite sources and give credit, or you don’t publish.

why?
Saying that a person’s labor shouldn’t be valued, and that others should be able to steal your labor without consequence, is an interesting take for a communist.
oh wow, I never even thought about this! probably because it doesn’t fucking matter. I can’t believe humanity collectively wasted 4million hours on this in 2 days.
edit
hey guess who didn’t look at which user made this post before talking shit.
whoops
Shhhh. Let people enjoy things.
OOTL here and my googling has come up dry, whst happened?
It’s a long video posted by YouTube creator HBomberguy regarding plagiarism on YouTube. If you watch/listen to video essays on YouTube it’s worth a play.
TL;DW- it’s a longstanding issue of ripping practically verbatim sections of other people’s work without proper sourcing. There were a few larger named channels put forth as evidence. I know at least one of the plagarist has since turned off comments on his videos.
From looking, his recent video is retreading drama that had happened over the last several months but OP is claiming bald man did all the work.
I dunno about the other 2, but the iilluminautii segment in the video has been done dozens of times at this point and involved half a dozen creators that were direct associates of her bringing her down. But, nah, all bald man.
edit: I forgot but she also partially took herself down by posting one of her editors notes containing suicidal ideation because of her in her video defending herself against that editor…
Nono the bald man is referring to the original hbomb video against aurini
Which is hilarious btw.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to every woman I have ever accused of exaggerating
I don’t know what this is about, appreciate the contribution nonetheless
been terribly out of the loop lately
Hbomberguy, after doing a video that deleted Tommy Tallarico by exposing a career of lies (even getting one of his world records removed in the process of research alone), put out a video discussing plagiarism where he, with receipts, showed Internet Historian, Illuminaughtii, and James Somerton conducted significant plagiarism. All 3 fan bases went feral over it. Somerton deleted his socials and lost a shitload of his patreon money and IH’s fans are having a Normal One.
Somerton was the main focus of the video. He’s a gay man who created a series of video essays that are basically all entirely plagiarized word for word from dozens of other queer creators, pretty much straight up stealing money from them. Hbomb has dedicated all the revenue he makes from this video to be split between everyone somerton stole from, which hilariously includes Wikipedia.
