Popular YouTube commentator Internet Anarchist faces mounting evidence of systematic content theft after creator Mr. Snowflake uncovered multiple instances of plagiarism spanning over two years. What began as one suspicious video has snowballed into at least six documented cases of copied scripts and stolen content structure.
The controversy started when Mr. Snowflake noticed Internet Anarchist’s video about James Corden appeared suspiciously similar to content from smaller creator Tell Us More.
Internet Anarchist initially responded by claiming a recently hired writer was responsible for that single incident, assuring viewers his investigation found no other problematic content on his 200-plus video channel.
That explanation quickly unraveled. Within 40 minutes of searching, Mr. Snowflake discovered a video about Jeremy Fragrance that blatantly copied content from Ryan Pictures. The similarities weren’t subtle. Identical sentence structures, matching descriptions, and parallel storytelling made the plagiarism obvious. Comments on Ryan Pictures’ original video from months earlier showed other viewers had already noticed the overlap.
The evidence continued mounting. Internet Anarchist had stolen from Ryan Pictures not once but three times. Videos about Lunchly, Pokimane’s cookies, and controversial TikToker Emerald all lifted scripts, structure, and content directly from Ryan Pictures’ work. The irony became almost comedic when Internet Anarchist included clips credited to Ryan Pictures while simultaneously stealing his entire script structure.
Perhaps most damaging was discovering plagiarized videos dating back to November 2023, completely contradicting Internet Anarchist’s timeline about hiring a problematic writer “a few months ago.” A video about streamer Nadia from over two years ago showed clear copying from channel Justicle, proving this pattern predated any recently hired staff.
The situation grows more absurd considering Internet Anarchist previously created content calling out another creator for plagiarism, directly comparing scripts side-by-side and declaring content theft “unacceptable.” He positioned himself as someone who valued original work while apparently building his channel on stolen material.
Internet Anarchist paid Tell Us More for the James Corden video but now faces questions about compensating multiple creators. With at least six confirmed cases found quickly, the true scope remains unknown. Each plagiarized video also earned sponsorship revenue, meaning Internet Anarchist profited twice from stolen work.
The creator’s responses have been inconsistent. After the first video, he blamed a writer. After more evidence emerged, he joined Mr. Snowflake’s Patreon without explanation. He removed a video summarizing content about plagiarism that ironically featured himself. His actions suggest someone scrambling rather than someone genuinely addressing wrongdoing.
Mr. Snowflake emphasized the ease of finding these examples, spending less than an hour uncovering multiple cases. If such obvious plagiarism exists throughout the channel, the actual number of stolen videos could be substantial. The pattern suggests systematic content theft rather than isolated incidents.
The scandal raises serious questions about accountability in YouTube’s commentary community. Internet Anarchist built an audience and revenue stream partly through stolen work, all while presenting himself as an original creator.
