    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

    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

      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…

    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.

          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.
