IH's cave video, the original version. The script is blatantly plagiarized but, arguably, the elaborate visual elements transform the original work which was a written article with some photos.
Pretty much. The entire entertainment industry, especially the game industry's foundation is nothing but ideas or art stripped and sampled from other ideas/art to the point of playing a balancing act on a tight rope with legal action. You're not going to get away with making a SMB or Doom in this day and age without a breadtuber reeling in rage over their respective Bobby Prince's and Koji Kondo's for committing grave crimes of "plagiarism" and proceeding to get millions of views to denounce them that's for sure.

POV: Smug Brit Breadtuber will explain to you how plagiarism is bad and how he does better rEsEaRcH than you.
Hey wait a minute, didn't HBomberGuy plagiarize a bunch of forum posts to make his Fallout 3 video?
Folding Ideas is in Todd's comments too. Wonder what Somerton did to get them all so angry.
Do you niggas not know of incognito and storytime
I wasn't referencing IH per se, just examples in general. I do agree he should've referenced the original author and added more of his own content.
He's actually sort of right there. Those "Hot Nazis" are a reference to Tom of Finland, who drew the quintessential gay art of the 70s and 80s. While he hated Nazis, their aesthetic was huge in his work. That aesthetic just inspired gay swole culture in general.
To be fair to Harris in this instance Breadtube is a term invented by fans of Contrapoints that attempted to lump all of the anarcho communist youtubers together into one club under a book most of them haven't read and isn't well liked in that club anyway. It seemed that they started distancing themselves from it publicly due to Peter Coffin being a retard and being the one who liked the title the most.
There's a part where he talks about "reaction videos" and shows two segments where Hasan Piker and XQC leave the video running in the background while they leave and do other things and make millions of views on it. The Hasan Piker one is where he's viewing one of Harris's videos and the XQC one is where he's viewing the Man in the Cave video.
I think this is more because he lost his hair and grew a beard to compensate for it. He was going bald in his earliest videos so it was inevitable he'd eventually shave it off to avoid the George Costanza look.
Leftists excuse theft if it's a target they dislike. It's the case of "There are no bad tactics only bad targets". He subtly points this out at one point when he mentions that in politics nobody cares if you steal from the opposing side because they're your enemy anyway. I'm certain if James Somerton stole from a corporation and not poor dead gay people he wouldn't have made the video about him to begin with.
That’s actually a very accurate read on Hbomberguy.
Oh I am not assuming Folding is wrong or lying. I'm just suprised at how coordinated this seems. Somerton sounds like a wanker, but why are they suddenly now fed up with him? Did he do something, or did Breadtube only just find out he stole so much?
Leftists came up with an excuse for this with a simple sentence. "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism". Which basically means "The system as it exists today is exploitative so there is no way to be ethical under it. Therefore I don't need to have principles." This is a tactic employed by Vaush whenever he gets called out on how capitalistic he acts.
He did own up, by correcting the situation when it was brought to his attention and dealing with it and the other party directly.
*Ad revenue from the video, ie disposable income. The patreon sub payments from newcomers and the money coming in from subs who abandoned the fanbase of the people he targetted will be an additional 1/8th if not a quarter of his current income. I saw this effect firsthand with speedoru whose punch punch forever video caused him to gain 300 subs and around 4k in additional patreon income. It's the same rhetorical trick breadtubers pull for charity streams, they raise the money of other people but pretend that they're giving money to charity when it's not actually part of their income, just spare funds they made by virtue signalling on social media about being charitable. I actually made an old list marking down the incomes of two most profitable patreon categories, breadtube and R34, idk if I still have it but breadtubers especially the ones at the top earn at least 6-8 times the amount the highest R34 artists do. The top earners themselves I think are chapo, some leftie podcast I don't remember the name of, contrapoints, hbomb and Jenny Nicholson. Chapo makes 100k, contra makes around 70-80k, hbomb makes around 65-70k and Jenny Nicholson makes around 50-60k (all of these are monthly). I think hbomb will overtake contra with the release of this video.
I find this "I'm sorry for existing" kind of apology repulsive.
If Harry did that he’d get hit by the same issues he was criticising. He’d probably joke about that fact as well as if that should absolve him.
He used that argument to defend literal fucking child pornography. I must say, if his idea was to make the ultimate refutation of the argument, he did it.
