Internet Historian Appreciation Thread - The best thing to come out of Austrailia since Mad Max (The original, obviously)

The video was fine. The problem was that the subject was not juicy enough nor matched IH's style. I think if he had done this on a separate channel as a fully serious and dry video it would have worked much better.I think he just didn't have any other subject that was the right mix of safe, popular and enough time passed to allow data sufficient for a video to collect. Covid made the world boring and we're still recovering from that.
The Syrian guy that got stranded on the ship seems like a much more interesting story, between his life alone on the ship and the legal shenanigans he has to endure. This one didn't really have anything going for it other than the shit show on the bridge that caused the crash. They just kept doing the same thing over and over again to get it unstuck and the legal fallout from it wasn't that crazy.
 
IIRC he said before that he was going to shift focus towards shorter videos with a more frequent upload schedule, but then dropped the biggest video he's ever done.

I reckon what might have happened is that this video ended up being a lot more time consuming and bloated than they initially expected it to be, and that shows in the finished product.

It's was a thoroughly cromulent video, not bad at all, but it was a bit indulgent. They could have cut it down and probably got it under an hour if stayed focused on the story instead of adding more material to be funny with.

I feel like the Concordia video, by comparison, covered more of the event in less runtime and did a better job integrating the humor into that coverage.
 
I just want him to make a new video on some convention that failed. Those to me were the best videos, and there's quite a few that could be covered. TanaCon for example is something that i've been waiting for him to cover for years with how much of a shitshow it was.
It’s been said to death here, but Breadtubers are a massive circlejerk that protect their own until one commits wrongthink. Harry’s safe until he says something slightly against the leftist ideology. Then the skeletons will come out.
Well Harry is already starting to look unsafe with Breadtube due to him not making a Palestine video essay. His audience has been clamoring for him to do one since the conflict started and he has made no assurances that he's going to make one.
 
I think for an appreciation thread
the people who want to suck on HBomberguy's cock and other breadtubers who make content claiming IH is a Nazi because of his 420 weed joke being Hitler's birthday should fuck right off right back to r/InternetHistorianSnark
cos we all know these people who cant read a fucking title and cannot read the fucking room here to understand the nature of this specific thread are redditors.

Since identifying redditors & breadtube viewers are easy since they always exude the following
- Being a Contrarian
- Complete and blindly hate someone for any minor slight no matter how miniscule it is
- Inability to read the room and make it all about themselves and their opinions.
 
Good video, but does he have to make some of the annotations dark as shit? I can barely read them.
Not to mention that when you pause to read it this happens.
