He says he has memory problems from a head injury from when he was a child. Which idk if that really clears him but thats certainly a thing he said
He must have forgotten that ripping words from other people is plagiarism, too.
like i dont doubt that he may have memory problems but ive seen many people also with memory problems from injuries say that in those cases working with a partner, like he did, to check for plagiarism would be the responsible thing to do and doesnt absolve him. sounds like just bringing up for sympathy points
Having memory problems doesnt make you copy/paste whole articles into your video scripts. It doesnt make you edit the wording to make it sound less natural and human to hide your plagiarism. It certainly doesnt make you do this literally dozens of times, over the course of years. It certainly doesnt make you less than the bare minimum of citing your work after your plagiarism is pointed out, and it doesn't excuse lying about getting permission to use someones elses work.
Dude was ripping off dozens of better creators for years while making a mint, and now is just lying through his teeth as hard as possible.
yeah his apology video is just a list of excuses and things meant to garner sympathy points. its monetized and he links his new patreon. the dude is full of shit
Wait, when? Surely he can't be trying to make more justifications after his horrible apology video?
He uploaded a new apology/justification video. Don't watch it though, because it's monetized.
Oh god. He really won't stop. Definitely will not give him a view.
Maybe he's just a secret asshole?
