My hot take here is that both Hbomber and this guy are people who are too anti-social to have jobs and who are trying to be content grifters and at the end of the day adding plagiarism to it only makes him 10% worse.
hbomber being mad at somerton is like when the democrats were doing a "how dare you sir" about the children in cages during the trump presidency.
Yeah that totally doesn't describe half of the people here
Most of us here need to have jobs despite being too anti social cause we can't all be yourune celebrities or content mill guys
Apparently it's pretty easy if you plagiarize so maybe we should be using Hbomber's video as a guide
just steal posts from here. people will thank you if you drop a /u/ in the corner so we can congratulate ourselves.
Conservative estimate (myself included, to be clear)
these takes are weird, Somerton was being cited as an authority on queer topics outside of the youboob sphere, which makes his takedown a bit more bigger than a beef between online types. dude was not only a plagiarist, he was also a known falsifier. it's just plain old academic dishonesty, the sort of thing that would make the news if this had happened on an actual campus. we're now in an era where bonafide pundits are taking fucking video essays at face value, B-list celebs like Neil Gaiman find out Hbomb uploaded a new video hours after it gets posted. Somerton's channel was going to be his platform towards building a movie studio ffs. we're in a new world where youtube is mainstream and things that happen there are now felt in meatspace.
