It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

From what I understand, the hbomb video was basically a massive evidence dump of people doing plagiarism.
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.
