  Er… nope. The one on plagerism? YouTube has recommended it to me a couple of times. (I just watched the roblox off sound video the other day, though.) I guess I’ll put that on my short list. I assume I’ll find out that Internet Historian committed a lot of plagerism in creating that “Man In Cave” video I linked?

    Not just a lot of it: basically the entire thing was word for word lifted, followed by some really lazy find & replace

  Here’s the original article he plagiarized. Definitely worth a read mentalfloss.com/…/1925-cave-rescue-that-captivate…

  I looked it up and it's almost 4 hours long. I'll be getting around to that I guess...

    most of the video is about someone else. the video is split into sections so you can get to the “cave story” section immediately if you’re curious about that part. that section is about 25 minutes and worth watching (although I’d say the whole thing is interesting anyway).

    if you still want a tldw: the entire “documentary” was plagiarized, almost word for word, including the narrative structure.

    Yeah

    He only talks about 3 youtubers in that video, no less.

        Yeah, but AVGN himself didn’t actually plagiarize anyone, right? It’s the network in charge of his channel that did
