YouTuber Brent Rivera under fire for \u201cplagiarizing\u201d other creators YouTube: Brent Rivera, drewdoesPopular YouTuber Brent Rivera is coming under fire for \u201cplagiarizing\u201d other creators after a fellow influencer called him out for copying his video ideas and thumbnails. Parallel thinking is a common occurrence that happens across many creative industries, with filmmakers, music artists, and more taking inspiration from other works quite often. However, one YouTuber is being called out for outright copying other content creators\u2019 videos, and even thumbnails\u2026 and the internet isn\u2019t happy about it. Popular YouTuber and TikTok star Brent Rivera is facing backlash after being accused of \u201cplagiarizing\u201d work from other creators after YouTuber David Liu noticed some glaring similarities between his videos and projects from his peers. Brent Rivera faces backlash for \u201cplagiarizing\u201d YouTube videos & thumbnails \u201cWow, I rarely call out creators, but\u2026 Brent Rivera is a plagiarist,\u201d he wrote in a tweet. \u201cFor the video that I got to work on with @falchook, Brent copied the: idea, title, thumbnail, hotels, story elements. So I\u2019m kinda mad.\u201d Liu went on to provide a thread of similar instances, with Rivera seemingly copying ideas and thumbnails from YouTubers like Matthew Beem, Zealous, Andrew Does, and even Airrack. \u201cAlthough one can\u2019t do anything about copyright, I\u2019d probably suggest most people in the YouTube space block him to avoid him pillaging ideas from your content,\u201d Liu advised in another post. Liu\u2019s Twitter thread has stirred up quite the conversation about plagiarism and parallel thinking in the space\u2026 but this isn\u2019t the first time Rivera has come under the microscope. In February, Rivera released an apology after he called security on a fellow YouTuber who was staying in the same hotel as him \u2014 an altercation that resulted in the involvement of local authorities to diffuse the situation. Although Rivera claimed he \u201cwasn\u2019t proud\u201d of how he handled the ordeal, he continued to receive criticism over the altercation, and it doesn\u2019t look like the internet has any more goodwill for him following this latest expose.
