    Nah, I can absolutely confirm in at least one of those cases he is several months behind the curve and just tacking it on to pad video length.

      I understood his video to be primarily calling out rampant plagiarism on YouTube. Illuminati was a small portion of the video and helped him convey the issue with content farms. Also, just because you’re aware of the issue doesn’t mean everyone else is.

        Well yeah, hbomb is very well known for making short videos, so clearly he’s just trying to pad his runtime for views and that sweet, sweet ad revenue he’s making from these drama videos.

      Should note that right at the beginning he jokes about how long it took them to get this video out (notes the writers’ strike as “ongoing”).

      Also, I knew none of this stuff. His long-form video essays are always a great watch because they aren’t shot out 5m after something happens and consist of mostly opinions.
