Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Paraphrasing with a citation isn't plagiarism because you are citing the source of the idea (though in some forms it is, at best, lazy to do this a lot). If you leave out the citation it is plagiarism.

but part of the video deals with overusing a single citation. at what point is one citation too much? say you had a 1000 word article and only two citations where and no 'original' text from your own ideas is that plagiarism?

its the homework meme of 'change it up a bit so it doesn't look copied'. i guess there is some effort done to change up the words.

the Melania Trump example was mentioned in the video, is this plagiarism?

There are some situations where this is more clear cut than other times. I don't think I'll watch this whole video so I don't know what examples he is using, but

say you had a 1000 word article and only two citations where and no 'original' text from your own ideas is that plagiarism?

Maybe. Depends on the specifics.

its the homework meme of 'change it up a bit so it doesn't look copied'

Literally copying someone else's homework and changing it a little is plagiarism.

The image you attached isn't plagiarism. It's just similar dresses. If one designer copied another dress pattern and passed it off as their own, then that is plagiarism.

The attached image was when Melania Trump exactly copied a Michelle Obama speech from 8 years earlier

Where the subject is youtube stuff here it seems that all these plagiarism really are guilty of is being too shit at writing to restate something in their own words.
