MODERATORS
Of what, history? None of the topics he's made are entirely original.
Hbomberguy posted a video going into some egregious examples of plagiarism. In it, he shows how Internet Historian plagiarized an article for his Man in Cave video, sometimes literally word for word for long sections of the video, occasionally only changing words or just scrambling sentences. Neither the original author of the article, nor the medium were credited for their work. This is why Man in Cave suddenly disappeared, then went unlisted for a while, before returning but in a much worse state than before. It is a blatant form of plagiarism that verges on outright copyright infringement.
I don't blame you for not being on the up and up on this whole thing, Hbomber's video just dropped today and it's 4 hours long. This is me giving the context that the other guy didn't give.
I do hope IH addresses it.
Some people really likes to make an elephant out of a fly. Why HBomberguys video now and not when the Cave Story was made public? I mean IH videos are pretty popular, so why the wait? Was someone looking for dirt?
Here is a thread from 7 months ago where more people noticed the video was plagiarized due to a DMCA of a re-upload: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1391d4o/internet_historians_man_in_cave_video_was/
But to actually answer your question, it takes time to prove (or even notice) when a work has been plagiarized, particularly when the person who did wrong does not mention, or intentionally hides the original source. The Hbomberguy video is about exploring that in depth and the IH video is just one example, not the main topic.
Thanks for that link, really appreciate it, and for explaining what that Hbomberguy video was actually about and that IH was only an example.
