I didn't attack you, I was being hyperbolic, and I was just reacting to the extremity of the accusation. I don't think his videos portray the message that the reddit post accused him of. Not defending him or denying the accusations. I couldn't care less about the guy. From my point of view, he is every kid on the internet pre-y2k. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol, a link to a sub literally called youtubedrama. So yes, YouTube meta bullshit. But since you've already roped me in, assuming this is all true, that's fucked up.

Also, you can be informative without being rude, that would have been appreciated so maybe have a little patience next time.

Whoa, lol, what is this a reference to?? Holy shit! 🤣🤣🤣 Don't tell me it's just more youtube drama? Jesus, so many intense opinions about the guy. I had no idea he had garnered such a bizarre reputation. And to think, I've been wasting all this time watching his videos twice a year and then getting the fuck on with my life. I guess meta truly will never be not cringe. Lol. Seriously though, what are referencing? Is there some subliminal propaganda sewn throughout his videos that I'm just too dense to pick up on? 😂

Yeah, a reference would have been nice, sure. But I still think the people that watched that video are NOT interested in reading a longer, unfunny version of stories about dumb people. Conversely, if you were trying to research this story specifically and your source was this video, then maybe the bottom of a cave is the right place for you. Lol. His images are just ripped off stock photos too. So I suppose nothing he does is truly original. Yet at the same time, there is no one like him on YouTube that has the same appeal. So I would say, if you watch his video and then read the article, would you have the same experience? Probably not. He did transform the content. But enough so for you? That's up to the beholder. So again, sure he stole someone's article and they had YouTube remove it. I guess the system works. And I still don't care. He's neither a journalist nor a researcher so who cares? What a weird battle to fight. The fact that anyone has an opinion this intense about something so dumb is just baffling, let alone enough to make a video about it. I still think hbomb needs to chill the fuck out. It's just not that serious, and YouTube has already taken action. So who are you carrying the torch for? You know what's more entertaining than hbomber "taking down" Internet Historian? Any Internet Historian video. I do find it hilarious that his most popular video is the one about IH. So who is milking who here? 😂 I'm just fucking around. You're absolutely right. But it just means nothing to me. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Lol, I mean, okay, sure. Not very significant though. First, I would never have read that article. Second, telling stories chronologically is only a new concept to Quenton Tarantino, the rest of humanity kind of defaults to that. Third, I don't watch IH for his fact based reporting, I don't care if he just read the entire article verbatim and I could care even less if he just made it all up. I think he is good at humor and shitty animations and neither of those are even remotely represented in the OC. So sure, if you say he's a plagiarist, I won't defend it, but maybe you're going to the wrong place if you're going to IH for original and reliable "information".

Lol, I think hbomb needs to get some perspective. He could easily argue that "bIg MoNeY sAlViA lItErAlLy StEaLs OtHeR pEoPlE's CoNtEnT" and he would be 100% simultaneously correct and useless.

I just love that they used developments from LNF as an update for NMS. Like, they had no reason to do that other than being bros.

Sounds like it's just not for you. Because I think it's an incredible game and has been my go-to since the second update. It's okay to not like something.

Oh boy, there's missing the bus and then there's this ☝️

If you were to rank everyone to blame for the state of games at release these days, there are so many people that come before Sean Murray. First and foremost, is YOU. Not necessarily you or even only you, but the consumer. I haven't preordered a game since standing in line at GameStop for Halo fucking 2. It was immediately obvious how stupid that was back then, and it makes nearly no sense these days. Some people want to support a dev and that's great, but others just slap their money down on a preorder for a digital release from some soon to be defunct EA studio. You created a precedent for games to be sold before they are even made.

Which brings me to number two, the studio conglomerates like EA, predatory confidence games like console exclusivity, and general anti-consumer practices. Hell, capitalism itself incentivises every studio to make their own store, lock every asset behind a paywall, and make the game progression as needlessly grindy and time-consuming as possible.

You think Sean Murray masterminded the debacle himself? Watch his videos from during that time. He is incredibly awkward because he is a dev. He's not a salesman or a marketing director. What dev do you know that doesn't dream about what their game could be? And sure, the debacle is ultimately Sean's responsibility, but he has gone above and beyond to make up for it. To blame him for "games these days" that fail to do that in any meaningful way is just so transparently ignorant.

Care to elaborate?

.................................................... ~uhhh~ ^nooo^

Lol, this is still one of my favorite videos on YouTube. IH is the shit. And you have impeccable taste.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

You're not wrong, but I have a hard time believing that someone capable of this sort of nuanced perspective wouldn't already have seen enough evidence long ago for why a TicTac is better suited for POTUS than Trump.

Try to remember that the DNC is just a different brand of capitalism. So, sure, the posturing is expected and a requirement to keep DNC Party Voters in line. But I don't think the disenfranchised Bernie Bros and independent never trumpers really give a shit which skin suit of propriety the DNC is tucking for at any particular time. They can fuck themselves less than Trump, but not by much.

People should stop giving that coked out drunkard any publicity, that's literally all he wants.

Well, someone was apparently awake during wonk class. Spot on comrade.
