I dunno, I liked seeing HBomberGuy absolutely ruin James Somerton over plagiarism.
Helps that HBomberGuy hasn't posted endless rounds of response videos. That's how you milk the drama for views.
Conversely, I'm getting a little tired of Karl Jobst mostly becoming a drama channel against fraudsters like Billy Mitchell or the Open Hand Charity. Those guys do deserve it, but it's sucking oxygen away from Jobst's usual commentary on speed running techniques. He's also working outside his specialty--these are American cases, and he's a lawyer under Australian law--and not all his claims carry weight.
I think people in this section of the comments are a bit unreasonable. Jobst made 2 videos about Open Hands Foundation and the reason to publish the first one doesn't have to be "drama". The second... Maybe... But then again, people like "updates" which is also the reason by billy Mitchell videos are coming and they are updates. In both cases, there is a strong relationship between the core theme video games and the "drama". Open Hands Foundation's event was about showcasing games and Billy is the best video gamer of all time. God bless billy.
So I don't think Jobst videos are so... Offtopic. Especially as he talked about Speedrun drama before.
