  Cool, looks like a lot of video to watch, I’ll take your word for it. Not too surprising thinking about it.

    Maybe not surprising, but still disappointing. I liked IH videos, but knowing that a lot of it is stolen, puts a stain on it. But at least it explains why his videos tend to disappear from his channel.

      Was he the guy who also kept making all sorts of Nazi references?

      guy covers historical event doesn’t rewrite history, instead takes what someone else has written about event doesn’t use own fotos, uses someone elses foto instead makes mistakes

      I am not saying this is a big nothing burger, but his only real mistakes was not to list his sources.

        Yeah, no. He almost entirely verbatim copied the text and wording on the original article and shuffled some words around to try and make it less obvious (and failed). It is blatant plagiarism, there is no other way to call it. This was no innocent mistake of forgetting to list a source. Watch the hbomberguy video segment about it, it paints a very clear picture.

  The one thing about that which I find worth defending, is how much his video made the story entertaining. I wouldn’t have read the article but his video kept me engaged . Even if the writing was copied, he still added a lot to it.

    That’s the most baffling thing. His video was transformative. Had he just credited the writing he’d probably be fine but he just decided not to, for some reason.

      Adding video isn’t transformative. Otherwise Disney could just turn any book they want into a movie without ever paying anyone for the rights.

    You can be entertaining without stealing other people’s work and claiming it as your own.
