Or, Just Because AVGN did it first doesn't mean literally every reviewer on Youtube ripped him off. Except Irate Gamer, dude stole entire jokes wholesale. And I don't just mean "Swearing a lot".
Also The Christian Video Game Nerd, who literally reshot an AVGN video to do it without beer or swearing. Wish I could still find that video, vintage cursed content.
But that's a bit of a diversion from the point. I've seen people in the comments of content about content talking about how specific creators "Ripped off more people than they'll ever admit" and you find out what they ripped off is "They review movies in a comedic fashion" or "They swear a lot".
It's like pointing at a modern Vtuber sand saying we all rip off Kizuna Ai.
Hell, Spoony, for better or worse was one of the first people to actually upload a Let's Play (Of Phantasmagoria 2), so you could say Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Game Grumps, and Jacksepticeye were ripping him off if we follow some of the logic I've seen.
Youtube and Twitch have a very, VERY different culture, which is why I've been telling my friends that no matter how bad Twitch gets to be very careful and do your research on Youtube and its various communities and subcommunities before leaving for Youtube as a solution to Twitch being absolute ass right now.
tl;dr is that certain formats are so fucking ubiquitous now that even if one guy did it first we can't scream that the ones who do the same things that we don't like are just ripoffs.
Unless they're Irate Gamer.
