Made a reuploaded version of the James somerton apology video because the cunt deleted his/couldn't stomach the thought of leaving it up
It is sped up to around 1.5x and I think I cut some of the pauses out in the beginning

Also the normal/non sped up version if necessary

welp on a separate note, if the watcher debacle (i refuse to call it a scandal lol) taught me anything is that some of y'all fans are wayy deep into the parasocial (and not to be a hypocrite, i was too the last few days - something to learn from for me ig). like people had valid points ofc and it did genuinely feel hurtful when the people who encouraged us to fight capitalism decided to turn on us, but the amount of people that immediately went from 'omg my favourite ghoul boys' to 'they only want money and fame' is insane to me.
now after the apology video, it's baffling to me how many people still believe that. we can't know how much of the video was influenced by real regret and sympathy for their fans and how much was just a business decision to survive, but people assuming on the spot that they just don't give a shit anymore is wild. maybe they don't, how am i to tell, but stating that as a fact is kind of unprecedented. obvs if people don't want to keep watching them because of this that's entirely up to you but calling others naive or boot-licking for giving watcher a second chance is pretty hypocritical.
either way i personally feel like they handled it pretty well, and yeah this mistake could've easily been avoided in the first place but hey, they aren't just carefree fun-loving guys who you see on your laptop once in a while, they're people that sometimes lose track of things and make uninformed decisions, but take accountability for it and work to fix the mistake and learn from it - at least that's what we can hope for

James Somerton would've received less backlash if his apology had been a re-upload of Collen Hoover's Toxic Gossip Train.
Edit: Ballinger.
Everything else in this post stands.

Started watching the James Somerton apology video, and like first of all: I am sorry that the original expos茅 videos blew up so much that he got death threats from chronically online people who need to touch grass and I am sorry for the emotional turmoil caused by having hordes of people come out for you.
However, why is this video 40 minutes long and going over what sounds like excuses? All the world needed, all that should have been said is: Yes, I plagiarized. Yes, that was wrong of me. Yes, I am taking full responsibility for my actions and acknowledging that the backlash, while at times extreme, did come from a valid place and did address actions I knowingly committed. I violated the intellectual property of other people and took advantage of the hard work they devoted to their content. Because of these actions, intentionally or not, poverty or not, head injury or not, desperate or not, adhd or not, I used my platform and visibility to exploit their content without giving them credit and allowing them to reap the benefits of the success their work afforded me, often at the expense of the success they should have received.
I understand the stress and personal issues he experienced, and how these can have unintentional consequences, but like鈥攖hat doesn鈥檛 change what the real issue the plagiarism controversy originally brought up. It only adds context and attempts to subvert what should have been the highlight of this video: the actual and deliberate/seemingly deliberate plagiarism which he used to build his brand and which as a content creator and as a part of the content he created, means he created.

Overheard my partner listening to a Xanderhal video about the second apology and ended up needing to make the mentioned meme. Hope you enjoy and have a good day ^_^
