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
Thank you for the summary. I can see now what the concern is and why it is important within that sphere.
