    Say what you will about Hbomberguys long videos, but you can tell he puts in the time to make them entertaining and thought-provoking. Keffals videos are just her talking into a camera with the same monotone voice and occasionally playing clips while responding with, “Wow! That’s insane (insert 28 different slurs) ahaha I’m autistic and edgy.”

        It was very well done but there were people complaining about its length and it’s a recurring complaint with his videos. I don’t really mind the length as long as the effort is put into it and he clearly puts it in.

        This video posted is like those ten hour film reviews that are just some guy whining about wokeness in his movie for five times the length of the actual movie.

          IMO the length isnt the core problem but moreso that he structured the video in a series of segments about specific individual creators, and he doesn’t really account for methods of plagiarism that he has already detailed and demonstrated at length.

          Which means that since all the plagiarists do basically the same kind of plagiarism, it can very easily be very tiring to have him start going through point by point, line by line, the 3rd creator in a row to have copy pasted text then mildly edited it, rather than him going like “ok, then X repeated the same tactic as before by switching out these words” in a shorter way.

            Damn, sounds like the 3-point essay method could have made some strides there. I wouldn’t know if he used it though. 4 hours is more time than I have at the moment.

              I would say that unless you are specifically interested in the two first cases(an IGN guy and AVGN) and particularly if you know about those cases already, its 100% fine to just skip those segments entirely, they dont particularly build towards the rest of the video.
