Is anyone else getting a certificate error for the #PeerTube server Vidèos sur Parleur?
Tried to view on different devices and it is refusing. Have also tried the PeerTube app with similar results.

No one's noticed but that guy from the Waynesbury's advert is actually #hbomberguy when he's grown up.

I wonder if Tommy Tallarico was so strapped for cash that he was happy to let Roblox buy the oof from him.
Definitely got paid less than the money Roblox spent on trying (and failing) to get Schlep to shut up.

"The writers have talked about how important it is not to be an asshole when you're criticizing something, which i think is something most people agree with"--#Hbomberguy , in his #RWBY video. Let’s determine whether he counts himself among those "most". #MediaLiteracy #BadFaithCriticism #DontBeAnAss

I really feel like watching this #hbomberguy video again.
It's been a long time since I've watched him.
What the hell does he do in between time? Does he have a job or something?
Me want more videos!!!

And let's just leave this out here, also, for no particular reason.

James Somerton was accused of plagiarism in December 2023. He re-emerged as a wedding photographer, using stock images as his work.

I’d like to share one of the best things published by a #youtuber ever. An oldie but as of today, painfully, urgently relevant. #hbomberguy and his video about #antivaxxers. #rfkjr #vaccines #departmentofhealth #ameasuredresponse https://youtu.be/8BIcAZxFfrc?si=4b9gLPRtIZjGWPrF

It's 23:35 and I've spent the last few hours trying to sooth my intrusive-thoughts-filled brain and stave off another anxiety attack by watching #HBomberguy's Roblox OOF video for approximately the tenth time this year. (I'm obvs now watching the plagiarism video again.)

December 2024 means it has been a full year since #Hbomberguy released his "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" video essay, with the later half of the video being about the now former and disgraced gay YouTuber #JamesSomerton for being as a serial plagiarist, notably by ripping off other smaller queer creators.
In May 2024, I wrote a blog post about the time James Somerton used one of my video game footage without credit or permission:

I watched the #hbomberguy's extremely long video on #plagiarism recently and the extreme cases presented felt relevant to this. How does someone end up making a business based on 100% plagiarized material? It's not like they were evil geniuses who had a plan and committed to it until the money finally began pouring in. In fact, they were really dumb.
There were several hints pointing to the direction that they may not have any concept of truth. They are wired differently. They seem to think that words are inherently just fancy bullshit that all people constantly copy around (with superficial changes) to elicit emotional responses.
A very telling detail was how they altered facts, even numbers, probably in order to make the plagiarized material appear original. But why make the effort to change a NUMBER and just a little? It changes only the meaning but has no effect to the emotional response you get from the audience. It just doesn't make any sense at all if you believe that a specific number means something different than another number. If you care about meaning at all while trying to get away with minimal effort, you'd just try to change a word to its synonym or shuffle the word order.

While unconfirmed, #JamesSomerton has posted a suicide note on his locked Twitter account. There have been several attempts to reach out to him, seemingly none have succeeded. Lots of people are laying the blaming #HBomberGuy but I personally think this is unfair; Harry might have run the exposé, but the rest of the internet dogpiled without mercy. I sincerely hope we find James alive, but if not... We have to learn when to stop.

CW: imagery and mention of human skulls and bones, also food and drink
@ednl It is so deliciously long.
I have never read the Twilight books, nor watched the movies. Same for 50 Shades, so it was kind of a similar vibe for me as when the 4-hour hbomberguy video on plagiarism was released: I don't know any of the media that this is about, but now I have to watch this!
I watched the new Contrapoints video in batches, over the span of three days, so that was quite doable. I think it's great content in terms of providing jumping-off points to have reflections and conversations about certain topics that aren't easy to confront.
Also: I absolutely adore the set and costume design for this one, and the jokes made me literally LOL on the MRT!

weekly re-watch to "Plagiarism and You(Tube) by #hbomberguy". iv lost count of the week number... but every single Friday since it dropped

Wait a minute, I recognize that wallpaper...
Did Niccolò Venerandi (who loves #KDE) made a "#HBomberguy Style Exposé" video about that "Linus Sucks" dude? -
JFC. Someone from the #hbomberguy Reddit decided to make a subreddit to discuss #JamesSomerton, and as the hate built up, some absolute psycho decided that meant they should try to break into Somerton’s home.
What in the name of fuck is wrong with some people?!

I live under a stone so only watched this yesterday. This video essay quite well done with more drama and intrigue than a lot of the films I've seen this year.
Probably the YouTube essay of 2023

Gita Jackson on Aftermath: “The sad but unavoidable truth is that there is very little justice in cases like these. James Somerton has already stolen my work — the damage has already been done, and it cannot be undone. I have to move throughout the world knowing that an injustice has been done to me; that is just an unfortunate reality of being alive. Somerton makes himself an easy target for all the anger that people feel about similar injustices, like the way that queer history is disappeared or misrepresented or the way that women working in criticism are often ignored.”

#YouTube is very smart. So smart that it concluded that, since I watch videos by #hbomberguy, I should also check out #InternetHistorian.
For those who are out of the loop, Harris (hbomberguy) made a long video on plagiarism on YouTube and one of his examples was "Internet Historian".
It seems that Harris's viewers are doing their due diligence by checking to see if the video was exaggerating the problems with I.H. which the suggestion #Algorithm literally can't process.

If you're wondering what James Somerton did in response to HBomberGuy's video exposé: he deleted his videos on YouTube or set their visibility to private, put his Patreon on hold, then disappeared for a few days.
Then, a couple of days ago, James Somerton reappeared to make an apology video.
Sorta.
He said the word "sorry", and looked sad at losing his credibility and main source of income. I believe he was genuinely upset about that. This disaster has been bad for his personal and professional relationships, and is causing a financial problem. It's clear to see it's been extraordinarily bad for his mental health, and it's easy to feel sympathy for him on that count.But, James Somerton failed to address the plagiarism. He hardly said the word at all. Instead, he attributed the public outcry to poor referencing/citation style. And, he said he's restarting his Patreon and will make more videos.
The public reaction to such an awful apology was about as negative as you'd expect. A few hours later, James Somerton deleted his apology video.
I think James Somerton isn't sorry for his plagiarism. I think he doesn't believe it's a problem. I think he doesn't truly understand what plagiarism is.

Following all this #HBomberGuy stuff and ngl tho the reason his videos are so long he's really hammering in over and over what people are doing and how few scruples there are to overcome any shrugging off of things

It's 4 hours on Plagiarism but I learned a bunch of things about famous YouTubers I never heard of but now am mad it and it's a very well done video. It also verifies a lot of things which I hate about toxic internet influencers. The very end he points some not as well known YouTubers who do good research and deserve attention. #hbomberguy

I've been watching hbomberguy's most recent video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQI'm watching over multiple days, because it's really very long, and somewhat painful to watch - but it's really good.
Honestly. He is very thorougher, and all of the examples are powerful and worthwhile - but it all continually reinforces that some people go out of their way to make the world worse for the sake of money. And the social systems that are meant reduce shitness can sometimes be used for the opposite effect. So it doesn't exactly leave me feeling great about the world.
Still though, hbomberguy really makes high quality stuff.
By the way, did you know that you can subscribe to youtube channels via RSS without having any kind of google account? That suits me pretty well.

If you liked that plagiarism video from @Hbomberguy, you should also watch his video about the war on christmas, now that we're in the middle of this years war!
It's only 1 hour long!

How come every time someone says “let people look at the facts and decide for themselves” they mean “I’ve run out of excuses but there are people out there who will trust their biases over objective reporting and I’d like to take them with me”?

#Hbomberguy on #JamesSomerton, plagiarism and queer erasure in THAT viral video essay

The #hbomberguy #plagiarism takedown video is amazing and important. But I'd also like to point to his previous video that is (apparently) about #roblox #sound #design which is amazing and *bonkers*.
I think what I enjoy most about both videos is imagining how the #research portion goes. I guess you start by downloading all the videos, screenshotting all the tweets, etc Just In Case. Organize that into folders and take a lot of notes.

"This is, on the whole, how business people see creativity: they don't respect it. It doesn't matter. It's beneath them. So, they can take it and say it's theirs, if they want."
- HBomberGuy (Harris Michael Brewis), in his epic, 4-hour takedown of plagiarism.
If you haven't seen the video yet, I highly recommend it. Every minute of it matters:

Welp. Looks like #JamesSomerton nuked his site the same way #Hbomberguy and #ToddInTheShadows nuked his career.
