A couple weeks later, and James Somerton has been obliterated from the face of Youtube. Sadly, he had already pocketed tens of thousands of dollars.
Do you know if anything has happened with the other channels Hbomberguy targeted, Cipheron? I wasn't willing to head into the whirlwind of response videos, but maybe you were.
The other cases were mostly historic cases.
Tthe guy who runs "Plagiarism Today" did (

He suspects more could come out about Internet Historian, but it's really "where there's smoke there's fire" logic rather than hard evidence.
The other big case is Iilluminaughtii. That bomb dropped back in May, among her subscribers, though I don't follow her so was out of the loop. here are her channel stats:

You can see she was getting 1.5 - 2.0 million views per week until May 2023. That dropped to 100K per week by October. So the damage to her brand clearly already happened among people aware of her channel. She still has 1.28 million subscribers, and might be losing 10K more per week, but that still leaves her a LONG tail of people coming across her videos who aren't in the loop about the other stuff.

Strong Bad Email #84 made me burst out laughing. I'm glad to see the humor holds up!
I discovered the HSR website from MrDuck lavishing praise on the Fhqwgads music video when it first came out. Good times!
