On the Plagiarist's Voice
for what my opinion on the youtube plagiarism thing is worth (nothing, but I'll take it), I really enjoyed the slow dawning realisation that pretty much ever word somerton's own creative mind put in his videos has the voice of an asshole.
like, that's how you spot his original writing - is it snarky, flippant, or mean? probably him
he has the writing voice of someone who learned what sarcasm is from a friend's older brother and just ran with that as a personality
it's just so amazingly unappealing to listen to, i'm amazed this guy survived doing livestreams for any length of time
