Hahahahah is this what it’s actually about? I haven’t bothered to watch the four fucking hour video of some people i’ve never heard about yelling at each other but friends seem to think it was entertaining.
Its actually quite fucked, dude is steamrolling over actual queer writers and thinkers, many of whom are dead or languishing in obscurity, guy is a fuckhead
Is there like a 2 page precis? I don’t know who any of these people are. I know Hbomberguy exists but I have no context on what he does or why people listen to him. Like I need some kind of briefing, here, to even understand what kind of context to put the context in to when i get some context.
hbomberguy showed a lot of specific examples of blatant plagiarism from 4 or 5 very large youtube channels. They were basically just Googling topics every day, changing scripts/articles from “but” to “and” or “he went” to “he traveled” and then reading it off to B-roll they often also stole. Many of them were also just stealing entirely from one production, as in just recreating a documentary in its entirety. They were making hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars by stealing all this stuff. At that point it’s less of “some rando” and more like a substantial media operation ripping people off
The plagiarist stealing queer content was always getting compliments for great writing, and it turns out when they did a second pass on a script they got caught on, trying to change the words around a just a bit more, he was actually a dogshit writer
I enjoyed it. It’s rambling in terms of the overall thesis, but everything he says does have a purpose (that might not help the thesis but still means something).
That’s the thing for me, by the time it came around to something I might care about it’s already been 2 hours of shit I don’t care about that is only sort of related. By the time it was getting there I was already tuned out.
Hmm, makes sense. I basically need to work 8 days straight with little sleep to put me in the headspace to watch a movie, so you may be onto something.

Thank you for the summary. I can see now what the concern is and why it is important within that sphere.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

It could have been a 30 minute expose, but instead, he pulled out a folder full of receipts and just started reading them verbatim into the camera.

I’ve been laid up with sickness for three days and I still can’t talk myself in watching a 4-hour video.
As I was scrolling by, I read this as you saying you wouldn’t watch it simply because “I’ve been laid”, which, well, fair enough
Have you tried getting really drunk and high first?
