For Internet Historian it's a highlight.
Yeah too bad his videos are plagiarisms of other people's work
Yeah I was really bummed to find this out along with all the nazi signposting that slipped past me because I couldn't hear the dog whistle, he might be the only creator I've ever actually gone and unsubscribed to. Shame, too, because some of those videos were actually really good, credit where it's due (even if that credit isn't due to IH himself).
Nazi signposting? Any examples specifically? Gave up on IH after the plagiarism deal, and I know some of his earlier content tends to lean on the edgier side of things.
Best source is a reddit link, sorry.
I thought going in that people had to be overreacting about it, I know he's a bit edgy and pretty clearly grew up on 4chan but it couldn't be that bad.
Nah, it's pretty bad.

the hitler references i can look past as bad low-effort edgy teen jokes, but him following a bunch of actual alive nazis on twitter is the most damning to me. good riddance, glad that i unsubscribed back when he was exposed for plagiarism. what a talentless hack
Thanks for the info. Pretty awful.
