“330 subs”. You talk as though 330,000 subscribers is a small number. To your other points, I figure most of the anger towards somerton is going to come from his own community and not people from hbomberguys community. (In fact IIRC Somerton was getting a lot of backlash on his pateron on day 1 of this story breaking). Perhaps Somerton shouldnt have plagarised and lied to people? Maybe?
Of course not, it’s insane to think I don’t place blame on him. To be clear, I do and his actions aren’t excusable by any means. While you are right, 330k subs is not a little amount but it’s about scales of community management. Maybe that’s somewhat the goal though. The community that is pointing out the flaws needs to be larger than the community defending them. Perhaps that’s exactly what needed to happened as people have pointed out that other smaller youtubers tried to create issues and James was very much lambasting them and undermining their message.
