I never heard of this guy and half of the people he talked about.
But I started watching this video and couldnt stop.
It was interesting and really well done.
I'm kinda of up-to-date with Youtube drama because I'm a weirdo that way so I knew almost everyone he listed. The only 2 that caught me off guard was IH and James Somerton, but that's because I actually like IH and I didn't even know James Somerton (he's famous...though now infamous in the LGBTQ+ community). But what James Somerton did was way worst than any of the other people listed in the video.

I think the difference is that with "My Immortal" you're making fun of the writing and it doesn't really work if it's *your* writing, so it's totally natural to cite where you're getting it from.
For "Man Cave", you get to pass off the storytelling as your own.
True, all IH had to do was be more upfront about reading an article word for word got permission/clearance from the author to make a video about it.

The IH plagiarism was known before, but no one really talked about till now.
I guess no one with a big enough platform that is, until now lol.
