I've just noticed that IH shortened his 'Dub the Dew' by 20%, removing all references to 'Hitler did nothing wrong', which resulted in the video being a shell of its former self.
Here's an archive of the original version from his Odysee channel:

edit: It appears there was a version uploaded to archive.org at one point, but it's been removed for some reason:

The censoring in the video reminds me a lot of when Wendigoon had to censor a video about the M16 because it featured full auto shooting in it. If I had to take a shot at why it was unlisted, edited, blurred, and then relisted: Youtube probably struck it and IH elected to just edit out the offending content and blur what he could keep, and just be done with it. It's a nearly decade old video that wasn't even 3 minutes in length, it wasn't worth the effort of fighting and risking possible full demonetization over. The Man in Hole video sat in a playlist for months during the copyright shit, unlisted and barely known to exist after it's initial takedown. IH doesn't exactly communicate these things.

Wrong. It actually means he's a shell of his former self and completely cucked and checked out. Probably plagiarized the edits :smug:

I can't believe IH didn't go into a massive sperg out about his decade old video getting demonetized! And here I was thinking he was our guy. (((They))) got another one, lads.
Especially with the current BS with YouTube censorship, you probably have HB fanatics reporting shit or the AI reporting system sniping his content.
This is probably a big factor, but youtube has been iffy on the name "Hitler" for years now, so honestly shocked it took a while for something like that to happen.

Imagine being such a Jew-broken organization that you have to ban people from just saying the name of an actual historically-significant human being who existed. This is real Harry Potter shit right here.
 
Whiny nigger still believes in plagiarism crap in the big year of 2025

By academic standards he committed plagiarism. However, he is not an academic and is not beholden to those standards. He is also not a journalist.

Regardless, these people do not care about plagiarism. As though every 3 hour long breadtube bullshit video has perfect citations and as though those people are actually not just stealing ideas as their own while only citing the facts.
Its like when body positive progressives make fun of Trump for being a fatass. They do not care. Its all about the target.

New Incognito Mode video on Cinema.

Absolute cinema.

More seriously, I agree that there should be talking showing and silent showing of films that are made to be dumb fun. And cinema experience nowadays is abysmal, especially with how costly it is.

Also that Wife story.

How is recounting a real life event plagiarism? It's just modern insanity by people who will disregard IP for people on the wrong political side.

Yeah, there are some movies where a little audience reaction goes a long way, like everyone laughing at a comedy or cheering during a big moment. But then you get people who take it too far and start talking to the screen like the characters can hear them. Or riffing like they're in MST3K but they can't come up with anything funny to say. We have screenings for parents with little kids, why not screening for people to talk through?

I don't think he should be strung up for it, but from what I understand he borrowed exact structure and wording from some random online article about the cave thing. I agree he shouldn't be held to the standard of academia, but that article is still someone else's content, even if it was some journo, using too much of that article means he didn't have to do nearly the amount of work the original researcher did but probably would profit way more from it.

I still like IH so I chalk it up more to not doing due diligence, and finding the story compelling enough that just visually depicting it would be transformative. Plenty of channels like Sam O'Nella literally just read off wikipedia articles in an entertaining fashion, but they still provide commentary and unique touches. Internet Historian should have done more to separate his video from the source.

Personally, I'm not very attached to the man in cave video because it isn't nearly as entertaining as Fall of 76 or The Gentleman Pirate, so I didn't really care what happened to it. The guy has bounced back though with this new vid, and I'm happy for it. Both because I get more internet historian, and also HBomb fans are probably punching walls knowing their messiah couldn't deboonk him off the platform like he did with James Somerton.
He did the smart thing and let the heat die down before just moving on.

He did though. I still have the original video archived and it's not exactly word for word, but he did follow the story's narrative from what I recall. The videos showing comparisons have a bunch of clips, none of them have a transcript comparison with the actual article

If that's the best source of a story that ties the narrative together in a reasonable, logical way, I don't think he should have changed the order of events to avoid plagiarism. If what the article said was true, then it's just factual

It is kinda gay not to source the article in the description, I would prefer if everyone doing this type of thing sourced all their reading. Though this is how this type of video is done. You read some articles and you make a funny edit based on them. Unless you do on the ground investigating yourself there's no way to have fully original content. You're bound to find a bunch of passages where changing the wording is just retarded, you might think it's already the best way to say it

note: I like IH but I'm not really a fanboy, I prefer his expleened and itf videos

Bro thinks that IH is le nazi

“I want you to let know that you are just proving my point”

Of what? Being retarded you kiked up faggot? No one cares about you AIDS ridden nigger logic you inbred cunt, especially from something that makes you look like communist dick sucker.

I like that xhe thinks that xirs video is actually genuine as if calling people something that is downright slander according to modern society is just “pointing out”.
