like witnessing the french revolution beheadings firsthand in the 1800s

youtube drama is very downplayed when it comes to its impact on tumblr (discussion of it usually ends as rapidly as it begins) so the fact that hbomberguy has been the top trending tag for several days now shows how much of an impact his video essay has made on the writing and video community as a whole. his video has spread so much awareness over the rampant plagiarism issue that has been festering under people’s radar for years now while dozens of youtube “creators” make six figure salaries off other peoples words and research. he effectively took off so many people’s rose tinted glasses and made us all blatantly aware of what an absolute shitshow this problem is now in modern media and how manipulated content has become

if you’re wondering how it’s going, internet historian fans have resorted to making up qanon conspiracy theories about hbomb

My favorite part of the hbomberguy video is when he said "it's hbombin' time" and hbombed all over iiluminaughtii's, Internet Historian's, and James Somerton's careers

I like how instead of only harassing the creators featured in Hbomberguy’s plagiarism video, his viewers comment inside jokes throughout the comment section, it’s really funny

I never went to the channel’s he called out since I never liked their content anyway, but I remember hearing about internet historian fan’s were pretty angry he got caught plagiarizing

I checked the video and gave myself such a good laugh XD
