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.
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.
if you care about any of this you need to seriously re-evaluate your life
Death to America
Did this guy used to post on Hexbear/CTH or is he just one of our screenshot guys? My timeline is getting hazy at this point.
I'll check this out tomorrow either way. I'm not gonna spend four hours of my free time watching it but I will definitely spend four hours of my work time listening to it in the background.
Started listening to it in the background as well, literally watching the end right now.
Summary: a long list showing some guy passing off other people's content as his own, a lot of those other people being queer writers. Glad I watched it, but it is seriously too long.
I heard a bunch of good takes that will never get talked about like they should be. He was scamming his boss to get paid doing a terrible job. So we have to respect the hustle.
Hbomberguy posted a video about his videos so in a way he is just recycling thst same content for views again.
How hilarious would it be if our villian just copied Hbomber's video and declined to explain thr joke?
Which boss?
Harddrive did that joke
