LEMMY is how I find out there’s a new hbomber video? Not my fucking YOUTUBE SUBSCRIPTION ALERTS??
Thanks, Google!
My YouTube alerts come days after the actual video release dates. I’m not even sure how they manage to get it that delayed.
my people, check out Newpipe (Android, download through F-Droid) and Freetube (desktop) - your feeds will be chronological, no black-box suggestion algorithm. all videos from all your subscriptions will be shown to you (you can even group your subs to customize how they show up)
you’ll avoid some of that surveillance capitalism
Laughing at one weird bald misogynist

Did I mention that they have a pet skull…hmm, no I doubt that helps either.
Perhaps they enjoy scotch and cigars as well, maybe that’ll… Ah, never mind.
At half the video I knew the main culprit was about to be revealed, then he put the “contrapoints” lighting and I was like please don’t be contra, and he starts talking about how that person was stealing from smaller lgbtq creators and I was oh fuck, is contra, but then it was actually that guy I didn’t even knew existed and was a relief.
Looks like some people don’t get the meme here. The first domino refers to the first hbomb video against aurini. Please don’t make me explain the joke
If you’re gonna make jokes about niche internet personalities in public you’re gonna have to get used to explaining the joke.
For that you will have to check the video :) https://youtu.be/yDp3cB5fHXQ?si=Aa0qGYL2Uzy0AbiW
I would have but it’s 3+ (some people are saying 4) hours long. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
THIS video is indeed 4 hours long, but he has shorter ones. And longer ones, for some odd reason.
OOTL here and my googling has come up dry, whst happened?
It’s a long video posted by YouTube creator HBomberguy regarding plagiarism on YouTube. If you watch/listen to video essays on YouTube it’s worth a play.
TL;DW- it’s a longstanding issue of ripping practically verbatim sections of other people’s work without proper sourcing. There were a few larger named channels put forth as evidence. I know at least one of the plagarist has since turned off comments on his videos.
From looking, his recent video is retreading drama that had happened over the last several months but OP is claiming bald man did all the work.
I dunno about the other 2, but the iilluminautii segment in the video has been done dozens of times at this point and involved half a dozen creators that were direct associates of her bringing her down. But, nah, all bald man.
edit: I forgot but she also partially took herself down by posting one of her editors notes containing suicidal ideation because of her in her video defending herself against that editor…
Nono the bald man is referring to the original hbomb video against aurini
He covered at least 5 content creators, so it’s not just ‘the other two’. This is purely anecdotal as this was my personal experience.
I definitely knew about the illuminati drama, but none of the others. I’ve seen video essays from every creator covered (except for Phillip) and had enjoyed having James S in the background in particular. It looks like he’s turned off all comments in his videos post plagiarism video. For the record I hadn’t seen any other hbomberguy videos prior to this.
Im gonna go on a bit of a logical leap here using current information regarding The Completionist. Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers released their initial findings regarding the charity fraud in their own videos. As they have each found info that develops the situation, they release another video pointed at that specific information. Karl does a high level whereas Mutahar does deep dives so his videos take a couple days longer to emerge.
In this instance, they are releasing one video pointing one finger at one issue at one creator rather than a 4 hour compilation at nearly half a dozen people covering dozens of complaints. Bald mans video, at the very least, has hallmarks of a compilation rather than any actual investigative value.
If it started with him, then I guess the dominoes make sense - it wouldn’t be a claim that he did all the work, just set it in motion.
I have no idea though, I am OOTL also and haven’t looked at the video yet.
Nah, I can absolutely confirm in at least one of those cases he is several months behind the curve and just tacking it on to pad video length.
