videos

Any video longer than 2 hours needs to go to the dunk tank unless it's like a live recording of a concert or something.

Sorry mr harris, but society rewards plagiarists by giving them presidency. The people of the United States of America love plagiarism. Its

I feel like most of this would still happen under communism. The drive to become famous would still exist there.

I do think people would care a bit less though, because no one would get rich off of this any more.

so-called "youtuber" creates a video about not trusting "youtubers"

great work team

Why the fuck is this 4 hours? Does infinite Patreon money not get him a fucking script editor?

Wait so do y’all not just have these types of videos on in the background at any given time

It’s honestly like my version of what was Fox News to my parents lol I don’t think anyone seriously sits down for 4 hours to watch this shit (though I could be very wrong)

im only 30 minutes in but the concept of 'plagiarism' is so undefined. is Brent Rivera even 'copying' ideas from other youtubers? like yea one can argue the 'idea' is an obvious copy but you don't 'own' an idea of say of different priced hotels or whatever.

for example. when you are writing a research paper you use citations. aren't these citations 'copying' text from another paper but worded a bit differently?

Isnt he a breadtuber (YUCK) dude who claims to be a “leftist” (siri, plug in lenin’s “left-wing” communism please) and yet consistently shits on AES?

Four fucking hours too, i could read actual theory instead of watching boring patreon monarchy slop, no thanks fam.

four hours. FOUR HOURRS

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOUR HOURS

anyway I haven't watched any of this yet but I've seen youtubers get accused of plagiarism just because they sound kinda similar to somebody else, even though their content is all original research and opinion. You can't claim ownership of "talking fast over a hip hop beat", you know? And so much youtube content is so repetitive and derivative anyway that I'm not honestly sure if there's a line that can be rationally drawn between plagiarizing someone versus "minecraft video number two eight five six one" - the only time I would dare to slap a plagiarism claim on someone is if they're going word for word with someone else's jokes or commentary.

edit: lmao Hasan got reeeeekt

edit2: "Information itself deteriorates in the process of producing industrial quantities of content."

damn that's a good line

edit3: oh shit xqc just got got - and internethistorian too!?

last edit: So this one turned out to be way too focused on a few specific youtubers for my liking. I'll say it was probably the highest quality drama post I've ever seen, but it's still a drama post which means it's gonna age like milk and there's no reason to rewatch it.

Fun fact: That famous Oatmeal comic about Tesla blatantly plagiarizes from a biography when describing the "Edison buying pets to electrocute" incident. I have no idea if people have talked about that or if it's old hat, I just happened to read that biography a long time ago and recognized the phrasing.

And now I need to go back and listen to that other video on the AVGN plagiarism thing to see if HB stole from it

The length isnt the problem, the problem is that its like 8 videos of the same concept repeated one after another without a framing device or throughline besides "and heres this other plagiarist!"

It wouldnt be better if its was just half the length cause then its just a shorter badly paced video, it either should just have been a series of videos about each individual plagiarist, since each segment is paced individually, or it should have been one video about the broad trends of plagiarism in youtube.

A good video essay never feels too long while a bad one can never be short enough.(adapted from quote about film I read once)

just watch whatever soothes the psychic pain this is why the west will fall we can't even agree on treats

Reporting in at an hour and wondering where it gets to the point where I should care about any of this since I'm not a youtuber. Some of the 'plagiarized quotes' on the anti vaxx bit were like, technical medical or legal shit that is pretty hard to phrase differently and although it's clear this youtube channel watched a documentary and the regurgitated it which is lazy, I'm still left wondering why I should care if I don't have a youtube channel or any skin in this game.

hilarious thread, also love people defending some dude who claimed the drpk should be bombed too. A+ effort yall.

this is 4 hours long what the fuck.

I've never watched one of those content mill video essays but I did always wonder what was in these two hour videos they were churning out that I constantly see in the "related videos" section...this explained a lot.

Getting red, mad, and nude online because someone criticized my favorite breadtuber
