I was worried when I saw LegalEagle in one of the chapter titles, but I'm glad it went the way it did. Was entirely unsurprised by the vid turning into a breakdown of that JS asshole (can't remember his name), and holy shit is he a piece of work.

He is quite the master of "Short" form content.

I see, with 03:51:09 it's a very short video this time

You can skip to near the end of each chapter after he gives one or two examples of plagiarism.

I always knew Luke Stephens was a douche, but I didn't know it was that bad.

Hey, no spoilers! I'm just an hour in hand had to take a break.

I'm not even that far in lol he mentions him in like the opening

Love his videos and this one is even more superb than usual. Love how he decided to handle the monetization of exposing the raw theft uncovered.

Dont drop spoilers for a video longer than a movie 😵‍💫 this video was worth the effort of watching, trust me, it was really cool.

What comes to the conclusion of the video: Maybe it's just I've got some weird Spectrum Genes, but when I was a kid and early adult, I was fucking paralysed by the idea that all of my jokes were basically stolen. 20 years later, I think I've developed A Style, but in the off chance I remember a directly quoted joke, I'm fucking deliberately saying it's a stolen joke, every time.

Also, one of the things that I've learned this year, as exemplified by this video, is that just because you're in a marginalised community doesn't mean you're automatically a saint. Seen plenty of people just doing a dum-dum. Don't do dumb things. Makes you look dumb. Makes your community look dumb too. Know what I mean? I'm looking at you.

I am so glad this comes with a list of recommended new queer youtubers to subscribe to. And that chao video is good I actually saw it a few weeks ago.
