    oh wow, I never even thought about this! probably because it doesn’t fucking matter. I can’t believe humanity collectively wasted 4million hours on this in 2 days.

    hey guess who didn’t look at which user made this post before talking shit.

    whoops

        i think the same can be said to the whiner making a 4 hour video about shit that doesn’t affect anyone.

          Sounds like someone was told they couldn’t use wikipedia as a source word for word in high school and never got over it. The less parrots we have saying shit they don’t understand to get recognition other people worked for the better. If a four hour video is too long for you, maybe break it down into chunks or use any other time management skill. Or don’t watch it still, but you’re making the case that you have no attention span and say mean things about content you’ve never interacted with for jollies.

          I think the same can be said to the whiner making angry comments on Lemmy because someone made a 4 hour video he doesn’t want to watch.

            why not? the worst fate that can befall an author is not that someone might steal their work, but that no one will want to.

            it’s a fucking compliment.

              Stealing work for money is good, actually, says user named commie.

              Jackass.

                calling me names doesn’t change whether this is a moral issue: it’s not. it’s an academic issue.

                  Academia being perfectly amoral?

                  This is people’s livelihoods. That’s covered in the video you implied you watched. You fucking liar.

                  It’s also resulted directly in harassment of people who did all of the work, because of course these thieving bastards will cry crocodile tears and send their manipulated fans after the big meanies accusing them of demonstrably accurate shit.

                    and that’s bad. but it’s not an issue of plagiarism, it’s an altogether separate problem.

                    This is people’s livelihoods.

                    I don’t see where anyone has lost money, except the plagiarists who removed videos or got fired.

                    You fucking liar.

                    when you apologize for your insult and incivility, I’ll be happy to keep explaining what a non-issue roughly 80% of this was.

                this is astrawman. I didn’t and would never say this. but that’s at least partially because I would never call plagiarism “stealing”
