    I searched for an watched a YouTube video about it…and I regret it immensely.

      I can’t wait for someone in 2077 to make a documentary about this by plagiarizing an article that goes hour by hour.

        I have a feeling that someone will later make a 4-hour-long video essay calling them out for it

                Yeah, I was really disappointed to learn it too. It was blatant – the entire script is ripped from a well-written article about the experience, verbatim except for a few words swapped around.

                    If he had gotten permission from the original author/site about dramatising and animating it I don’t think anyone would have had a problem. But taking someone else’s work and passing it off as your own without permission is what people are upset about.

                To his credit, this was the only found bit of plagiarism on his channel. The other channels he calls out are wayyyy worse. But it’s blatant word for word plagiarism.

                  Not quite, Internet Historian also plagiarized parts of his Costa Concordia video. Did hbomberguy actually say that these were the only examples of plagiarism on his channel?
