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?
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.
Okay this is clearly referencing something. Who is it
Hbomberguy called out Internet Historian for blatant plagiarism.
Internet Historian of all people? Well damn :(

IIRC he said it was the only plagiarism he found but I’m not skimming a 4 hour video to make sure.

Except he made it a lot more entertaining so it’s a case of I don’t care
