I think IH will be just fine. Admittedly I'm very biased because imo he's one of the very few genuinely funny big youtubers left, but I get the sense that 1) the bulk of his audience just won't care and 2) the standards for content creators is so abysmally low in terms of originality that plagiarism doesn't really register as a fatal flaw anymore. While it's very disappointing I expect IH will also handle the impending drama as well far better than internet celebrities generally do, he always seemed to me unusually astute in handling his brand and hiding his pl.

I agree with this. IH used to be one of my favorite Youtubers, and I even liked the Fyre Fest and Costa Concordia videos, but since then, I haven't really been interested in anything he's put out.

Same for me. I've watched nearly every video he's put out, but his recent videos just feel like a massive departure from his normal content, specifically the 2 newest ones. I couldn't even make it halfway through his most recent video because the topic was just so uninteresting compared to his earlier content. I really hope the guy returns to his roots and covers niche internet shit again.

YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Xitter are all competitors competing for attention. It really doesn't benefit them to be proactive about large channels on their platforms wholesale stealing people's shit. A considerable amount of money changing hands from Facebook Ads to "meme channels" is literally just for going to YouTube, downloading a video, and reuploading it to a new audience (existing, in legal terms, in the same reserved market).

I'm trying to find a specific post that called it out on twitter a few days ago that got attention, but this is a big thing right now in the sportsball world. Twitter accounts will take quotes gotten from reporters without credit constantly, and consistently get way more money than the people that originally found the information, with no reference to where to get more from that interview etc.

Edit: I've given up on finding it if anyone wants to look. But it was a specific post I am thinking of that happened just a couple days ago. One of the billion NBA pages shared such and such player said "...." in a very short post with no context. The reporter that got him to say that quote tweeted it and whined about how he didn't even say "he told reporters in orlando" or whatever. Both posts had millions of views

Aside from the obvious hypocrisy of him complaining about IH’s old edgy content, this was actually a pretty good video.

It pains me to say it but IH is absolutely in the wrong in this situation and there’s no denying it. Irrefutable evidence that he stole someone’s shit, lied about it, and then posted it again.

Sucks because I really like IH’s content. Hopefully he takes responsibility.

Also Blair is a dumb cunt and James is a retard.

It's what happens when you have sloppy editors. IH isn't a one man channel, he has people who do research and scripting and stuff for him. Whoever did the Cave video was lazy and forgot to open a thesaurus. That's the nature of the beast with big YouTube channels.

Just enjoy the content and who gives a fuck. Oh no. Muh plagarism. These people's living is dependent on being a vehicle for ads or shilling complete garbage. They're jesters providing me entertainment. I barely care about anything they do between pressing play on a video and then pressing X when it's done.

They're both trying to sell me shitty VPNs, Magic Spoon, and whatever Dr Dre's have been branded as these days. I'll take whichever is more enjoyable and ignore they're ads all the same.

It is absolutely theft to convert a work from one medium to another. There was a supreme court case where a guy turned a painting into a sculpture, which wasn't a direct 1:1 copy but was a slight remix. It was not a meaningful change to the work, however, and it was infringement. Generally if you make something you reserve the right to sell it as a statue, and people cannot just take your work and do that and sell it without looping you in on the deal.

So, yes, it is legally theft to take someone's article and use it as a framework to build your video narration and animation off of.

If you want to say it shouldn't be, that's fine, but there is a reason that video did not go back up for months.

If I build a shitty car, and someone comes along, re-designs it, rebrands it and makes it appealing to the buyer where the original was not, they did not steal the design. They just designed a car that people liked. No amount of my bemoaning the cruelty of life will make my original design a good one, even if it was a better design's focal point of an idea that could be made better.

The article in question would be nearly impossible to outright prove in a legal sense was plagiarized anyhow, as the research / open-sourced intelligence that is used to generate it leaves a very large footprint of probability for coinciding data-paths. AT the end of the day, if you want to be a more successful producer of media, automobiles, sprockets, rockets or anything else that has to compete for attention and/or value, you need to make it appealing to the consumer of said media/etc.

IH is funny and charming but also kinda lazy which is probably why he ripped off the article. Being lazy and boring/unfunny is unforgivable but I reckon IH is charismatic enough to brush it off.

His dramatic reading of that hentai eichenwald got caught reading was some funny shit, it's a shame it got taken down

Internet cahntent is not academic research.
It is art, and art has always been "plagiarized" without anyone giving a shit. Composers taking melodies from others and doing their own spin on it has been happening for hundreds of years, same in painting.
That's how styles even developed.

Gay leftist is only one step away from copyright and DMCA bitches, who have made the internet worse for decades.

It's very obvious what he tried to do here, he started with some completely inexcusable well documented cases like Mucin to give himself credibility to try and go after people he hates and try and act like their minor quibbles were as bad or worse.
Only complete retards like his fanbase would fall for this type of manipulative tactic

As soon as he got to the IH bit, my first thought was "if you're gonna take a swing at the king, you'd better not miss". He's very much become an institution on YouTube. And to be fair, I'd say the punch landed, that was plagiarism.

IH lifted text from the article verbatim though. It absolutely is plagiarism. If he put the whole story in his own words he'd be fine, but he didn't.

Ah shit, I must have missed that part. I'll rewatch in a bit and if I'm wrong I'll freely admit to being a retard, again.
