Today Tumblr has informed me that somebody I've never heard of made a 3 hour YouTube video that has totally discredited somebody else I've never heard of and the net effect on my universe is zero and yet, now I know this thing.
@seldo Having watched the video, I will say that while the drama of the "take down" of a fraudster is relatively interesting to watch from the outside (I only had a very passing knowledge of who these parties all are) there is a more interesting question at the heart of it all about the pressure of media sites like YouTube on creating "content" that ends up being regurgitated, and usually plagiarized, trash that eventually obscures the source material and makes history harder to keep track of — especially queer history, which is already marginalized and easily misunderstood.
If you have the patience, it's interesting from that angle, at least to me!
