Internet historian is a plagiarist.

Hbomberguy posted a video going into sime egregious examples of plagiarism. In it, he shows how Internet Historian plagiarized an article for his Man in Cave video, sometimes literally word for word for long sections of the video, occasionally only changing words or just scrambling sentences. Neither the original author of the article, nor the medium were credited for their work. This is why Man in Cave suddenly disappeared, then went unlisted for a while, before returning but in a much worse state than before. It is a blatant form of plagiarism that verges on outright copyright infringement.
I don’t blame you for not being on the up and up on this whole thing, Hbomber’s video just dropped today and it’s 4 hours long. This is me giving the context that the other guy didn’t give.
I do hope IH addresses it.

The other comment does cover an extremely recent look into IH plagiarism, though, I did remember reading about it on reddit forever ago.

Basically Man in Cave is a rather blatant copy of an article by Mental Floss in 2018, but animated.
TLDR if you don't wanna watch the 20 minute segment:
Internet Historian used the Mental Floss article as a script for the video. The owners of the article made a DMCA takedown on the video as it was used without permission. Internet Historian has downplayed why it was taken down, reworded and removed swaths of the video to make it sound less like the article. Released the re-upload of Man in Cave with another video at the same time in order to try and distract from the story that he did indeed copy a little known article.
He does good work... but he also totally did copy the script of Man in Cave. Hbomberguy does a pretty good argument proving this.
