McCloud posted:Apparently disgraced CineD poster Dan Ohlsen aka Folding Ideas made a video about WoW, does anyone know if its any good? Generally I love his stuff but stopped the video like 15 minutes in. I was never into WoW and was like nah I don't need to watch an hour and a half of this. Maybe once if I'm really bored. I think I might've seen Eric Jacobus in the action thread. I've only seen the most recent few videos which seem to be different from early stuff but it's pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9XTAyoYv1c

Holy poo poo I had no idea Cinemassacre outsourced everything to some plagarist fucks at some point. I stopped watching regularly like a decade ago probably, by just slowly losing interest. But that's really terrifying to what some guy's honest personal opinions turned into.

Detective No. 27 posted:Screenwave sucks but to be clear, it was just one of them and they fired him immediately after it came to light. The video is great. I still haven't finished it but it's incredible how he managed to hype me up about the Cave video even though I've never heard of it or watched a single Internet Historian video before (pretty sure I've seen his stuff pop up though).

^^^ Oh yeah must've definitely had the Concordia video recommended but don't think I ever watched it The REAL Goobusters posted:Still don’t know who this completionist guy is  So I'm curious about this update as well. I think the internet can handle multiple main characters at the same time.

I just checked the Roblox a year after watching it. There's a post that claims that Tommy disappeared after the video dropped:quote:So just an update since its been over a year since this video has been live:

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Nothing needs to be shorter or longer. Detective No. 27 posted:One of the things Hbomberguy highlights is the various times Somerton gets called out and how he dodges the allegations. The video’s length is essential in going scorched Earth on the guy. The addendum posted a day or two later is salt. One of the more fascinating parts of the video was analyzing the behavior of the various plagiarists after getting caught and their non-apologies. Buuut that said I think the video easily justified it. He sets up a few clear, relatively low stake examples like AVGN (that you could skip) before switching to the big boy king poo poo of plagiarism. I've never heard of Somerton before, but at 300k subs he seems to be fairly influential in the queer community. And his plagiarism is just so obvious and damaging to the community and authors that I think he absolutely deserved to get destroyed properly. Also I wonder if there were any warning signs about IH:

Steve Yun posted:Dang Somerton took down his YouTube now One takeaway for me is that I mostly watch youtubes for entartainment and not at all critically. Even if it's actually to learn something I don't check anyone's claims or sources even if they include them. It's entirely trust-based and unless I'm very familiar with the topic already, it's very unlikely I'd notice if anything is stolen or untrue. Like Wendoever could be just making poo poo up about airlines this entire time and I'd never know. Todd actually addresses it at the end of his video. Which tbh is also a lot of "no way, this has to be bullshit" and of course it'd be difficult to prove a negative like "Nazi fitness culture had no impact on the US" when Somerton never gave specific sources or facts to disprove.
