      I’ve been a patreon for a bit and I’ve watched all the videos about his set and having to recreate it in Blender for the Vaccines and Oof videos. So I noticed the shine on his head was a bit too green, and I was like “you won’t get me this time.” He’s still two steps ahead, perfectly played. I am going back and rewatching the reveal and laughing all day.

    ::: I used to occasionally watch James Somerton’s videos. Holy shit, what a fundamentally uncreative piece of shit. I can’t believe he exploited such an important discourse and niche just for his own gain.

        That is how it works on Reddit. Lemmy has its own entirely incompatible spoiler tag system which works like this:

        ::: spoiler Text next to the arrow
Text inside the spoiler

which can be multiple lines and can contain *formatting*
:::

        Which produces this:

        Text next to the arrow

        Text inside the spoiler

        which can be multiple lines and can contain formatting

        Reddit style spoilers that look like >!this!< don’t work on desktop or, as far as I know, any mobile app besides Sync.

          Oh my gosh this is insanely helpful, thank you. Yes Im on Sync and your message looks completely not spoilered except for the last bit. So thats cool. My spoilers are incompatible with the spoilers everyone else is using?

            Correct.

            What’s more, Sync somehow manages to mess up the formatting of Lemmy style spoilers despite not rendering them. The correct sequence for a spoiler is a triple colon at the beginning and end, akin to the triple backtick for a code block. If you view a comment formatted like that in Sync, it will for some inexplicable reason convert the triple colon into >! … !<, even inside a code block.

            Here’s how my comment looks on Jerboa:

            Here’s how it looks on web (lemmy.blahaj.zone):

            And here’s how the exact same comment looks on Sync:

            I do not know what the Sync devs are thinking.

    Omg I was JUST yesterday wondering aloud when the next hbomberguy vid would drop, and my partner said she thought he might be done 😫 because of how the last one seemed to take it out if him.

    Pretty hyped to watch tonight

    E: it’s 4 hours long we’re feasting tonight!

      Probably an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but I think hbomberguy is one of the creators it’s worth supporting with ad views if you don’t want to do patreon or premium or whatever.

      Edit: hbomberguy has a discussion about monetisation of this video around 3h:23m-3h:25m

    I remember watching his video on body and fascism and thinking “what the fuck are you talking about”. Now I know why. I bet James is looking right now at some apology videos to plagiarise.

    I know Harris argues against Google automating enforcement, but like Google does have an index of all of the text on the Internet including knowledge of when the Google Bot first saw that text, as well as auto-generated transcripts of the videos on Youtube, right?

      The problem is there needs to be a threshold for how much copying is plagiarism, and how sources need to be cited, and how transformative a work needs to be, and all of that can be very subjective. I don’t trust YouTube to make rules that are specific enough to be consistently applied or to apply them fairly, given their track record with copyright enforcement. Neither does hbomberguy apparently.
