    YouTube isn’t a school or journalism. I fully expect plagiarism. It’s all very low quality content.

      It’s a platform that absolutely can contain both of those. And bc you consider it “low quality content” doesn’t excuse stealing from others.

      If you didn’t watch the hbomberguy video, then you do not expect so much of the rigorous devotion to plagiarism that it documents. Unless you’re some kind of evil genius, I guess.

      Maybe the videos you watch are low quality, that’s entirely on you though.
