    Breadtubers who aggregate and present unified information is still legitimate content creation. People dont want to watch multiple 2hour long documentaries and read 10 articles. So if a breadtuber does that and condenses that into a 30min video, good for them. Improving citation is a legitimate point but ultimately not that important for most people.

      It’s not condensing when it’s a) copying verbatim and b) not citing sources.

      It’s not an issue citation needing to be improved. It needs to exist at all. And the audience’s opinion on whether citation is important to them is a total non-issue. Their opinions don’t matter in this regard.

      You cite sources and give credit, or you don’t publish.

      And I have nothing against that, as long as they are not trying to get me to believe that they did all the work themselves

      Did you really watch all the incredibly flagrant horseshit in this video and come away with that?
