That's the thing though, sometimes I watch a video of a youtuber and an hour later I catch another youtuber quoting the same reddit post or article, paying attention to the same parts of the article/post but they always reach a slightly different conclusion or the time span separating their video couldn't allow one to copy the other. So yes, there is a lot overlap between youtubers. But it's different with Yong Yea, he's always THE LAST ONE to break a story (unless it's related to Hideo kojima...) and I'm talking up to 5 or 8 hours later, plenty of time to see other youtubers' videos.
I thought about something about an hour ago. Youtubers (like tim pool, sargon or the quartering) don't "go on the ground" to write the news, they basically rely on "regular journalists" to do the work for them. Maybe Yong Yea sees other youtubers as "regular gaming journalists"...
Which brings me to a potential interesting question : Is what sargon, tim pool and the quartering do (as well as others) considered as original creation ?
Yong Yea maybe is just doing the laziest form of news, even worse than reading word for word an article... He's copying people reading word for word articles...
Huuum I was wrong this whole time ? He's not "mean", just lazy as fuck... and the issue isn't so much whether what he does is morally wrong towards other people but rather plain lazy...

Maybe. I don't really watch him anymore and have really cut down on redundant gaming controversy channels. Regurgitating news, reading an article out loud and sharing the same sentiments isn't really what plagiarism is. It may make him unoriginal and derivative, but it's not taking specific wording and written works, to pass them off as your own.

"The only reason I can find is looking for people to find evidence that YongYea plagiarized someone"
You might be a genius... or maybe you just read what I wrote... I've explicitly said "I don't care enough, if someone cares he can dive into it" ! That was pretty clear, no ?
The "you guys are not helping" part was part of a full sentence, meaning "you are not helping me making the case that he's above reproach" like I've said, I bet I would have face a way bigger backlash if I was accusing anyone else.
"What kind of reaction did you honestly expect ?" I thought your genius brain figured it out by itself a few sentences ago ?! What happened ?!!! I've explicitly stated what was my goal... So, for the fifth time : I'm looking for people who care more than me to look into this. Don't worry, I've read somewhere that geniuses need to hear something 5 times before understanding it.
"Nobody believe accusations without proof" ?! Did you take a year and half of vacation ?!! You missed the whole #metoo thing ? You lucky man ! Nobody believes accusations without proofs... Do yo think that's why... maybe... I was asking people (who would care) to look for proofs ? Naaaah there must be another explanation...
"You're looking for attention" ooooh that's why... Makes sense now that you pointed it out ! I could have use Twitter, facebook and Instagram and post something about my last meal, but I'm the next-gen kind of narcissist... I haven't thought about it that way.
How much for the consultation ? Ooops sorry, force of the habit.

Laziness is a lack of motivation.Originally posted by Blue Stinger View PostIt's not laziness, it's a lack of motivation.
So why creating this topic ? The only reason I can find is looking for people to find evidence that YongYea plagiarized someoneOriginally posted by Blue Stinger View PostI don't like the 2 channels that I think he copied enough so it's not a motivator either.
I'm not making the accusation, why should I help you ?Originally posted by Blue Stinger View Post[Also, you guys are not helping...
What kind of reaction did you honestly expect ? People being like "OMG what an asshole !" ? Nobody believes accusation without proof (which was why the guy from IGN faced backlash, we had proof Filip Miucin copied significant portions of Boomstick's video).Originally posted by Blue Stinger View PostI mean, if I was accusing anyone else (who wouldn't be guilty of what I'm accusing him), I'm pretty sure I would face a pretty huge backlash... Here, I'm saying that I think Yong Yea copies people and all I get is "whatev' man"...
Bold part : So you're actually looking for attention, you got it, congrats.

PartTimeJedi "Plagiarism never crossed my mind." I'm subscribed to more than 80 youtube channels for almost a decade now, it never crossed my mind before... That's actually reassuring.
Magvel It's not laziness, it's a lack of motivation. I find Yong Yea monotone but I don't hate him, so hate isn't a motivator. I don't like the 2 channels that I think he copied enough so it's not a motivator either.
Also, you guys are not helping... I mean, if I was accusing anyone else (who wouldn't be guilty of what I'm accusing him), I'm pretty sure I would face a pretty huge backlash... Here, I'm saying that I think Yong Yea copies people and all I get is "whatev' man"...

I watch all the above mentioned YouTubers and I regularly get a sense of Deja Vu when the same topic is the focus across each of their videos. I've always chalked it up to the topic being discussed only has so many points to be made so each of the videos has the same flavor and flow. Plagiarism never crossed my mind.

Matcam89 Hum yes and no. I mean I didn't say he touched a lady... And what ? Can you imagine The Quartering covering the news and all he has to show is my post ?!!! He would get laughed at ! That's the point of my comment, basically : If you care more than me, then look into it.
That's it. Imagine a world where the police can only investigate someone that has already been convicted for this crime !!! Convicted how ? By whom ? If you can't investigate in the first place !
I shared my opinion, something is off with his content, that's it. It's not like I was accusing him of raping someone or even worse, saying the n word !

Personally I don’t think assumptions like this should be made unless the work has been done and there is viable proof. In an era where people can be ruined by a mere accusation we should be real careful.

If I take ur work and claim it that I did it without giving u credit or even mentioning you anywhere in my work will u still say u don't care? Not saying it's going to happen but if I become famous for it will u still think the same?Originally posted by fenrif View PostWho cares? Don't watch him if you don't want to watch him. It's not like a killed a guy or stole something. No one owns the news, or opinions on the news, or the order the news is delievered.

Frankly, I don't care. Many youtubers copy pewdiepie to some extent and no one cries foul. I doubt Yong would bother ripping off other youtubers to help create his vids.

He just regurgitates what everyone says. Turns a 5 min topic into a 20 min vid.

As I've said, I don't care enough. Because let's be honest, it would take me ages to prove it. I would basically have to watch everything I've watched these past 15 days. Once I would find the videos, I would have to take notes and what not... I just don't care enough.
I put an interrogation mark after "plagiarizes" so legally, I'm in the clear ^-^
"is the mantra of the SJW" I have to say, SJW are a nice break for the jews, now every conversation on the internet ends with "you're just like a SJW" instead of "it's because of the jews", that's cool. I know it's an un-intended side effect, but at least jews can read more than two lines on the internet without having to hear how bad they are... Wait, that makes me the new jew !!! Fuck...
