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

[THE KACZYNSKI]

I can't be arsed watching Hbomberguys video, but I thought it was already known that IH plagiarised the video from the mentalfloss article. Hence the removal and being silent about why it was removed other than 'copyright'.

Both are fucking gay to be honest.

 

[Sperglord666]

Hfaggot brings up IH deleting his old videos as "troll's remorse", wasn't this faggot a part of metokur?

Yeah Jim has stated multiple time that there is no trace of the old Metokur left because Harry sent notices for everything to the Internet Archive. All we have is some old screenshots and even those are very few.

I've got no issue with people deciding they want to move on from past internet bullshit, but don't come back as some whiny faggot pretending like you have any room to criticize anyone for their online behavior.

 

[Mega Black]

Really who gives a fuck if IH plagiarized some faggot journo's article? Video was still worth watching. Academic reference culture is for fags.

 

[Sunflower Samurai]

Local soyboy has a point to his video and IH is topical but the fact that he apparnetly seethes about the wrongthink is golden, man must be butthurt his cronies dont have any public support besides his circlejerk but IH videos have had fairly massive premieres for a couple years now

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

Going by IH's last video on Incognito Mode, if the next video after that is indeed, about Drinking, it'll confirm the chart & topics from the "Paintings" video. Also, it might include the topic of tannins.

Timing doesn't 100% line up, but I feel like IH threw shade at HBomberguy and his ilk with the snobbery pyramid at 24:18 ("3H YouTube Essays" feels like something HBomb would take personally -- immediately thought of the Roblox "oof" video):



Moving away from the pointless drama, that incogni ad might be my favorite IH ad yet. I think it's him laughing frequently during his stupid lines -- feels improv-y and like his old "In the Field" stuff where he's bullshitting with his friends. It also has the whole Nord VPN guy-vibe with the (not)-KKK man himself making a cameo at the end.

>IH copied an article for his script

...yeah? He does that. He admits that he does that (for his secondary channels at least). He made it no secret that his video game story tellings are basically just what they saw during a watch of a YT letsplay with a splash of his own humor and editing style. The main channel benefits also from him animating the script. I thought that was just for second channel stuff, but not entirely surprised. Seems way overblown

He openly says he doesn't even read the scripts before recording the Storymode videos, like in Parasite Eve.


The people who are giving Internet Historian shit over this are mentally stunted man-children who outsource all of their opinions to youtubers.

I find the whole concept of plagiarism to be retarded. If someone can basically copy what you did, then do it better, and more successfully, then clearly you are doing something wrong, so it's your fault.

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

Maybe hbomberguy was hoping to pull another illuminaughtii-like gotcha moment? Sadly for him IH is too beloved and is far from that level of crazy.

 

[Blonrad Blurze]

Harry looks like someone that would snatch an unattended child if he thought he could get away with it.

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

No the actual problem is that IH is an edgy creator. He doesn't say it directly, but it is heavily implied.

We really are a drawer of dull knives if IH's currently available, currated gallery of corporate, safe, humor is considered edgy. That's more edge than Ju Ju's ever got.

For a lot of the die-hard breadtubers (like HBomberguy), just not being openly politically left-leaning in your videos is a sign that you're an edgy creator and a target. It has to suck for the (admittedly few) left-leaning creators who want their content to stay apolitical. Some people don't want to hear about Trump or Putin in a video about Hot Wheels toy cars for crying out loud.

If he did snatch that that boy off the street it would be to keep him safe from bigotry then put him in dresses and teach him about anal intercourse.

 

[12345678901]

I can't focus on what he is saying because of his creepy bald faggot low t toddler face.

 

[Manah]

So is simping

 

[grapeshark77]

I decided to check the comments on his other videos and this was on the Concordia one:



So I don't think he's so much a full plagiarist as he is lazy. "Safe but shivering' is one of those things you remove from the paper you're stealing from because it's too distinct.

He's got 4 million subs, he'll be fine. Hopefully he learned something with the cave video and has changed his writing approach.

 

[God's strongest milkman]

I have avoided watching any hbomber guy for any period of time regardless of he talks about stuff I'm interested in. He radiates L.A Creep to the point I find it hard to listen to or look at him.

My only desire is that I.H doesn't make some faggot apology video. He can bring it up or not I just hope if he does it's short to the point and not simpering.

I don't care he used some article to make his video. Its an entirely different medium and translating one medium to the other is transformative enough if done in an entertaining and creative manner and since I enjoyed that video when it came out I would say it was.

I also don't feel he has a need to " be open and honest" and explain why the video was striken down.

It's not even because I like him, I just get violently angry when I see YouTuber apology bullshit. Double down or, accept that you don't care and ignore it or kill yourself. Those are your only honorable options.

Or just have IH embrace clown world and make a video with Harold on the sofa holding a ukulele...

 

[Sammich]

I know it would never happen, but it would be funny as hell if IH and this mental floss queer journo did a video together and they said that they ended up splitting the ad revenue, and IH hired him to write future stuff/properly write citations on any future videos. Just make this asshole look like a meddling asshole.

 

[Dire Dire Cocks]

Really who gives a fuck if IH plagiarized some faggot journo's article? Video was still worth watching. Academic reference culture is for fags.

I'm all for dunking on Hbomberguy for being a fag but don't go full retard about it.
IH blatantly stealing someones article is bad, actually.

 

[Swole McPole]

Really who gives a fuck if IH plagiarized some faggot journo's article? Video was still worth watching. Academic reference culture is for fags.

Hbomberguy is a obviously a nasty fudgepacker and I've never watched one of his videos in my life before this one -- and hopefully will never watch another.

But this wasn't about academic reference culture. This cunt is just stealing other people's work en masse. Personally, I don't care one way or the other. Arse bandit robs other arse bandits to the soundtrack of whining arse bandits? Who gives a fuck? But for anyone who cares about this stuff, the cunt he's complaining about (and I have no idea who he is either) is about as shameless a plagiarist as you can get.

Bummerguy is extraordinarily annoying, but he didn't do a half bad job of exposing the other faggot.

Edit: OK, somehow I managed to skip the Internet Historian expose and watch hour upon hour of him exposing James Somerton. I'm so retarded.

 

[Michael Jacks0n]

I can completely sympathize with not wanting to torture yourself with Harry's insufferably smug voice.

The accusation against IH is mercifully a relatively short part of the video, just under half an hour. To cut a long story short, the accusation of plagiarism is actually valid, as IH copied both the format (the hour by hour structure) and several passages from the article, with the words changed a bit, originally without crediting it in the video or the description. The website where the article was published filed a copyright claim and the video got taken down, and it got put back up a few months later with more words changed and with sources, including the article, credited in the video and description.

It's very much a hit piece, though, even if the accusation is valid. Harry deliberately makes out IH to be a right-wing extremist to rile up his own SJW followers, and portrays IH as deliberately trying to cover up his plagiarism (because he didn't specify why the video got copystriked), when it actuality it looks like he and the publisher of the article came to an agreement behind the scenes without the need for drama.

Tommy Tallarico has nothing to do with IH, he's the subject of Harry's previous video. It's just his fans being unfunny retards.

That explains things then. When IH's new wine video first dropped, I noticed a lot of dislikes and the comments were all things along the lines of, "Wow, good timing", "Big oof", or "Funny how you released this right around HBomberguy's upload." I didn't know what the hell they referring to, but I kept seeing HBomberguy's new plagiarism video constantly recommended to me now matter what video I'm watching.

But yeah, as I mentioned before, shitlibs have always smeared IH as a "right wing extremist" [sic]. I've seen ResetEra discussions about him, where a bunch of faggots were saying shit like, "I want to enjoy his content, but sadly he's a chud!" [sic]

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

So, he plagiarized something? That's the "big bad yikes"? And that he's not a lefty?

wow, I'm so shook.
