Drama is unfolding in the YouTube 40K scene. Majorkill, the Australian dude bro who has in the past made a video on how other Warhammer channels are dying while his is still increasing in subs
See here. Included in this list is Weshammer, a lore channel with 678K subs. Majorkill and Weshammer were previously on friendly terms before this video and had not talked since.
Now Majorkill has dropped a video accusing Weshammer stealing his video ideas, up to titles, art used, and scripts being taken and changed slightly.
See here.
Weshammers most recent video that Majorkill called out is already being flooded with comments accusing him of plagiarism

Edit: Posted to YouTube Autism thread if people wanna discuss and not shit up this thread with it

This is stupid, Neither of these guys go into detail from the novels, the first example is the "why did everyone hate primaris" and the image that he complains about in the thumbnail is one of the first results when looking for art for primaris marines. Neither of their videos are even the first result when looking up "hate primaris" on youtube, and other people have made videos on the topic years before either of them. By this point anyone who has at least casually browsed anything about space marines has heard about people hating primaris.
Next example, correcting misconceptions. Doesn't have the same thumbnail or title. Claims no one else has done it... bullshit. "40k misconceptions" as a search and you do get their videos, but then there's one from titan wargaming from 2 months ago when this weshammer video is only a month old. Does the other guy just not count? I'm sure there's other similar videos using different wording in the title. Complains about the ork in weshammer's thumbnail being a topic in his video... as if there aren't misconceptions about ork lore that other people have never pointed out.
Bile vs Cawl. There was literally just a novel released with them on the cover, and it's about them. Why not release a video discussing them? He even acknowledges that the damn book just came out but thinks there had to be other motivation. They're also scientists... "who is smarter" wouldn't be unreasonable to put somewhere in it.
Calls out some video weshammer retitled about space wolves, because he PLANNED to make a video with a similar name? wtf is that worth mentioning?
Complains about a top 5 fan theories video title. Doesn't comment on anything else. Lets see what those videos are about...
His video? Abaddon being a clone of Horus. Emperor is ascending to become a chaos god of order or god in general(funny considering the recent siege of terra books). Going to kill space marines and/or primarchs when the crusade ended. Emperor was in stasis at some point. And stupid theory about sanguinius beating horus, and the emp putting him down.
Weshammer's video: Sanguinius killed horus and Emp killed sanguinus. Tyranids running from something bigger. Machine spirits are just AI. Any theory about the 2 missing legions. Peteruabo isn't a demon.
So of the 5 shitty fan theories in each video, only ONE of them is even the same and it's a stupid theory people have gone on about for ages. Majorkill continues to claim it's a rip off without having even compared the two.
Whines about making a video about whether or not dead primarchs can return. As if no one has ever discussed this due to cloning and shit.
Complains about the necron factions explaing video being a rip off of his necron dynasty explained video. Just searching for "necron dynasties" there are videos from... Scholar's Lore, Majorkill, Poorhammer, Weshammer, The Templin Institute, Adeptus Ridiculous, and this isn't factoring in the other general necron lore videos that also cover the major dysnaties and some minor ones.
Complains Weshammer took the concept of the "why does everyone hate" series... hell, what about the outer circle's "what broke the fans?" videos? And apparently "every single" also belongs to majorkill. Yet when I look up "every single warhammer" the first 3 results are Bricky, then a majorkill video, then More Lore, then people reacting to Bricky's videos.
Majorkill then complains that weshammer is piggybacking off of his ideas so he can "beat me to the punchline" what? That just means he did shit first, that's not copying you.
Acknowledges he can't copyright/claim/whatever "why does everyone hate" and proceeds to cry about it. Then whines he gave wes advice and it could have been worth money, and includes a clip of weshammer being grateful for majorkill replying to him. Then bitches that wes can't come up with interesting ideas and feels the need to rip off majorkill. He bitches multiple times about wes putting "warhammer 40k lore" in titles.. maybe to help with SEO? Then majorkill brings up the why are 40k lore channels dying and how that is responsible for a decline on wes' channel and claims wes sent him an angry message about it. Then goes on for over a minute about how no other creators are his friends, and whatever.
Weshammer is a 30 year old dressing like a zoomer faggot. But majorkill is an actual faggot crybaby who can't handle the idea of someone else's channel beating him in subscribers and views, without needing to hire people to draw porn for patreon or constantly make jokes about taking a cock up the ass.
