That's great
Well others do. On that sub. So. Cool crowd to hang out with.
Also just. People with ACTUAL disorders get harassed by people on that sub. Basically what it does is it sends hatemobs at disabled people or people with mental health challenges, or literal children.
Just so they can feel better about themselves collectively. It's deranged. Some real gamergate shit
You think it's ok to bully a kid about it
You mean the sub where 99% of the time they're either bullying people with real disorders or actual children. Yeah such a cool place full of normal people.
I saw their ad for their printer ink that is apparently chipped to stop People from buying third party ink.
They presented it as a means to 'prevent fraud' and to 'protect your business'
From what
From people not buying your overpriced junk? How does you adding what is basically a drm at this point help the consumer combat 'fraud'?!
You can even tell that the 1 is touched more often on the top, meaning it is 'the top' one. Then 9 on the top as well, meaning you probably came from the top when moving 1 to 9. Then 7 is damaged on the left, probably because you come from the 9 on the right. Then apparently everyone just punches the shit out of 0 I dunno.
I for one applaud Rockstar for going open source. So progressive and insightful of them.
It feels like a bit of 'old internet' died with him, where he's always been an internet optimist and someone who has lived through basically all of it. He stuck to his principles through all of it. And I guess that has become a rarified breed.
Him taking a step back feels like a bit of that old internet of the curiosity, community and creativity of the early days of the internet go with him. Mind you he's not going anywhere except the people he cares about and I completely understand the choice he made, and I only wish the best for him, so this is just me attempting to explain why it feels so confronting and kind of sad. For me it goes beyond 'oh there just won't be anymore of those videos then', which I can live with although it would be sad to see those go. It's his personality that has, through the entire history of youtube and the many, many changes it went through, stuck to the principles of its first ever users. Be curious, be authentic, and generally just try shit out and see if it works.
I'm sure that core of the personality he showed on screen will never really go away, other people will carry that torch. But it's ok to be a little sad to see someone wave off like this. It shows us all how much we enjoyed it all these years.
Also as a MINOR sidenote on the meme, he never refused to explain, you couldn't stop this man from explaining if you tried lol
I.... just watch Hbomber's video because you are either not understanding, or refusing to understand. I think it's the latter, which would confirm my initial assumption of you engaging in bad faith.
The current reupload is still a poorly credited rewording of Riley's article, and it still lifts the article wholesale in wording, structure, facts and research. Even the pacing is the same.
IH didn't come clean about the copyright infringement, choosing to instead dodge any questions regarding the matter. Now if this was just some spat between creators that we didn't need to get into as an audience, that wouldn't be as much of an issue. But the problem with copyright is, either you credit publicly and clearly, or you will be called out for it publicly. It is the same in academia, where a lot of this rigor stems from in the first place. I'm entirely sure the author could claim the current reupload. We won't know if they have had contact before this version was reuploaded, but we can safely assume they didn't have any contact whatsoever to greenlight his first upload.
Addressing transgressions like this is also necessary, if not vital, to the YouTube and creator ecosystem that also has to keep itself in check. If you step out of line, you risk this very thing happening. And then it doesn't matter if it is 2 days or six months or three years, or even older (as Hbomber also points out, there was some deeply racist stuff in IH's uploads that have since been deleted).
============================
Just watch the video dude
============================
... at the time the company that held the IP dmca'd the video, and it takes a while to make a 4 hour video? Also when the video was taken down by legal action, other people uploaded it and found out what was really happening that way. Even when the video was struck, IH didn't come clean about his transgressions. What is your argument here really?
And if copyright infringement like this doesn't concern you, that's fine it doesn't have to. But there are certain rules that content creators are deemed to follow, lest they run into this exact criticism. You can scoff and scowl at that fact, but that won't make that simple reality disappear.
And for what it's worth, lifting the entire article near verbatim in a video you then make money off of without so much as crediting it is, at best, shitty, and at worst a crime. Do with that what you will, but it certainly isn't a fly.
You strike me as someone who will not engage with this in good faith and who will instead just root for Internet Historian come hell or DMCA. You could prove me wrong but I mostly wrote the above for other passers-by.
Hbomberguy posted a video going into some 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.
For one, self diagnosis can legitimately help people who do not have access to medical professionals for reasons beyond their control. Be it financial, distance from professionals, etc
There is a case to be made for self diagnosis.
Second, again until the ends of time I will have to repeat this because you're stubborn and refuse to read or understand
This sub is bullying people with actual mental health issues and/or children. These are (mostly) adults going out of their way to bully people who are, more often than not, already vulnerable.
So anyone advocating FOR the sub and that does include you needs to take a hard look at themselves. One question. Seriously dude?
