Maybe not surprising, but still disappointing. I liked IH videos, but knowing that a lot of it is stolen, puts a stain on it. But at least it explains why his videos tend to disappear from his channel.
Edit: The IH part starts at around 1:25:00 and lasts 20 minutes.
guy covers historical event doesn’t rewrite history, instead takes what someone else has written about event doesn’t use own fotos, uses someone elses foto instead makes mistakes
I am not saying this is a big nothing burger, but his only real mistakes was not to list his sources.
Yeah, no. He almost entirely verbatim copied the text and wording on the original article and shuffled some words around to try and make it less obvious (and failed). It is blatant plagiarism, there is no other way to call it. This was no innocent mistake of forgetting to list a source. Watch the hbomberguy video segment about it, it paints a very clear picture.
yes, and a solution could have been to cite sources.

I don’t think, that not-citing-sources is an innocent mistake.

I did. I does paint a very colorful picture. Full of opinion and sarcasm and rhethoric.
Here is a rule-of-thumb to decide if an argument was convincing because it had good content, or because it was well written: If the content was good, it will be easy for you explain to a 3rd party. If only the presentation was good, then you will have a hard time convincing others.
It became annoyingly fingerpointy for me personally.

Articles can be written perfectly, but that doesn’t mean I’ll read them. Give me someone narrating the whole thing with entertaining animations in the background and you’ve created something interesting and engaging to me.
The one thing about that which I find worth defending, is how much his video made the story entertaining. I wouldn’t have read the article but his video kept me engaged . Even if the writing was copied, he still added a lot to it.
That’s the most baffling thing. His video was transformative. Had he just credited the writing he’d probably be fine but he just decided not to, for some reason.
I don’t have claustrophobia, but thinking about this dude is about as close as I get. What an awful way to die, and I can’t imagine how insane you have to be to enjoy this hobby.
