hello there YouTube it's been a while and we'll cover why that is and where I've been towards the end of the video but first we are saying much more important to talk about and that's the fact that our research on this channel has been plagiarized by another YouTuber vangelina scow who after being approached by me seemingly tried to scare me off using the threat of lawyers that's right mere months after H bomag guy released his bombshell of a video on this very topic someone who has dozens of vi
deos covering Illuminati's death spiral thought it'd be a great idea to just rip myself and a bunch of other people off only then double down in the exact same way Illuminati did when caught in the act oh it's going to be one of those videos but before we continue a quick content warning for the following sexual assault grooming transmisia misgendering and injury if you like our work and appreciate the research put into each video please consider supporting the channel by patreon you can also su
pport us by liking commenting and sharing this video on social media I'd also just like to take the time to remind our viewers that the statements made throughout our videos are the opinions of myself the host based on the evidence I have available to me they are not and should not be taking us unquestionable fact which is why we reference everything because we're valuable thus we strive to give you the viewer the ability to check all evidence for yourself in order to make up your own mind which
is what the reference numbers in the top left corner are for being numbers that match up with the reference list found in the transcript link down below as such we encourage all viewers to do their own research to reach out inform conclusion about the topic hi there my name is firston she her they them and today we're going to be talking about the fact that vangelina scow ripped off little years of hard work and presented said work as her own in her her recent video Lily Orchard you ch's bigges
t creep we'll also be discussing how she or her management firm solaro management tried to Bluff me into backing down via escalating the matter to their lawyer which if you couldn't tell by the video failed now there's a surprise the work I'm talking about is of course a seven part series on Lily Orchard more specifically the following five videos each to varying degrees Lily Orchard encouraged a friend to groom a minor Lily Orchard Grooms her audience with victim testimony Lily Orchard sexed a
16-year-old second victim testimony debunking Lily orcher pro-child Predator arguments and lastly Lily orer pro- child predator fanfic Stockholm the production for the series took a long time myself and Levi began working on the series in January of 2020 you see in December of 2019 I'd given Lily Orchard a shout out in one of my videos presenting her as a safe person due to the way she projects an unabashed hostility towards sexual predators very rarely seen only for me to be approached by someo
ne 2 days later about her history of stockhome both myself and Levi began our own solo investigations during which I remov the links to L's channel before reconvening a day or two later both of us had reached the same conclusion on of holy [ __ ] there's even more I immediately nuked the video issued an apology and got to work I feel compelled to note that I nuk the video in spite of the fact that it was and to this day Remains the one and only time I discussed being groomed as a 15-year-old alo
ng with how I was subsequently chased out of the fairy fandom on YouTube after I blew the whistle on the 30-year-old man who groomed me that's actually what led me to create create the channel essence of 4 acting as a new start for myself so it was an incredibly personal video making it difficult to destroy but we deemed it too dangerous to remain up I also felt personally responsible to everyone that had seen the video before it was taken down thus setting myself to alerting as many people to t
he danger as possible we made a couple of posts before beginning work on what was at the time planned to be a single video as for our investigation researching planning and writing the video turned out to be an absolute nightmare there was just so much going on so many little things that connected and so many little ways that's why whilst I knew I wanted to do the inros video as a standalone piece I didn't have any idea as to how we were going to do the rest figuring out that doing one video was
n't n't going to work for us because it didn't give these specific cases the time and attention they required is why the inkor video came out in April of 2021 yet the next video The War of glaz testimony that wouldn't come out until October of 20122 that's how much research and preparation was going into these videos I remember just sitting there for weeks going through snapshots of Lily Watchers Tumblr just hundreds and hundred hundreds of pages looking for new stuff or trying to find old stuff
that no longer had its original source and when I was done with Lily Orchard I moved on to her friends this by the way is how I became so acquainted with the URL workings of film fiction and film fetch leading to the realization and subsequent breakthrough in the stockhome video that I'm still really proud of to this day this really was our gentleman we've got her there was also the stuff in the background that nobody thinks about especially when it comes to topics like these I remember back in
2020 2021 Lili or should began talking about adopting we scrambled like fighter pilots to try and figure out if there was anyone anyone at all we could reach out to to have Lily Watcher's name flash R to any adoption agency should she actually follow through there was also the background care for Glade who again was one of Lily's victims I had to make sure that they felt supported by me whilst also ensuring that their testimony remained as unadulterated as possible I didn't want to give anyone
the chance to say that I had coached them because that can be crushing for a victim that's a hard tight route to walk let me tell you especially when it comes to large issues like these to give a specific example I'm fly anti- police but was fully prepared prep to stand by Glade if you wanted to involve them because the victim's autonomy is Paramount so there was a lot going on that you didn't see now the reason I'm going on about all the work that went into the series is to try and help you und
erstand why plagiarism feels in many ways so violating it's not like I snap my fingers three times the stars align the video arises from the bosom of my brain there's a lot of work that goes into what I do so to spend literal years of your life on a single project only to have someone come along and present said work as their own monetizing your hard work four different ways it really is depressing I get that I might not seem the most impacted in this video I'm probably cracking a few more jokes
than usual but that's not because it isn't bad it's because I'm used to tackling people who want me dead because I'm trans so this this is still an improvement but better than genocide isn't what I consider High Praise suffice to say when I discovered i' been plagiarized it did impact me causing me to spiral I burnt myself out at the end of last year covering my personal trauma only to need emergency dental work as I began feeling better only to then break my foot I haven't been able to find a
suitable time to record anything I've been writing as a result I've been mentally punishing myself for not getting anything out so to have someone come along and rip myself and leave I off it [ __ ] bricked me it really did I remember having to calm myself down before I approached Scout about the issue hoping we could resolve things peacefully now sadly scow didn't share my desire to have her fix things and we'll get to exactly how she burnt me but first let's establish how I know for a fact the
scal strip my my series to make her own video starting with the hard data the first thing I did when I realized I was being plagiarized was download Scout's video and begin cutting it up into sections what I found was that a 30-minute section of her 38 minute video starting from 2032 was ripped directly from mine as shown in the clips raised into the second higher track though to clarify one thing when I went through it again I did find two clips amounting to just over 1 minute 2 seconds that w
ere her own original content one being a 20 second remark about a book she read as a child and another 40c remark about Lily's writing tips which aside from as an introductory tool to the inqu video I had absolutely no interest in covering I'll still refer to it as the 30 minute section just know that I'm only claiming 12 minutes minutes of it now throughout that 30 minutes section Scout presents eight screenshots eight pieces of Visual Evidence which he then spends the remaining time talking ab
out and it's those eight screenshots that allow me to confirm without a shadow of a doubt that they were ripped directly from my video how well I'm glad you asked I will be using free data points to confirm that these screenshots were ripped directly from our video the first and perhaps weakest data point is zoom Factor and layout that is to say not all of the images I took were taken at the same level of zoom and when you zoom in and out on a page on Tumblr or Twitter it doesn't merely pan in l
ike a camera lens every now and then it shifts things around take this example I grabbed whilst writing the script taken from Stockholm Uber fan the last Alicorn here is the page at 100% here is that same page at 175% and here it is again at 200% notice how the layout of the page keeps changing therefore if the layout of these eight screenshots matches those seen in mind that is conducive to the images having been ripped directly from our video since if any of them didn't match that throw the wh
ole thing off though again this is perhaps the weakest piece of data on its own the second data point or perhaps points are the backgrounds and profile picks being used in any given screenshot Orchard has periodically updated both her background and her profile pick dozens of times over the last couple of years that means if the background and profile picks throughout the screenshots match those seen in mine that is further proof that the images have been ripped directly from our video the third
and final data point is a security feature personalized to me as I'm sure you're aware by now I am trans and there is a safety tool out there in use by trans people that changes the usernames and Links of users on certain sites based on whether they've been voted safe or dangerous to trans people do note it is a deeply flawed app not everyone green is in fact safe as we'll see in a second but it is Handy to weed out the Reds now I say it's deeply flawed in who it marks green because you guessed
it Lily Orchard is marked green by default meaning that enough people have voted her safe to trans people at one point in time to earn a green rating what's particularly interesting about this data point however is the fact that when I first began Gathering evidence I didn't think to manually Mark Lily Orchard as unsafe but that changed halfway through after all she did groom trans miners yet I only made the switch in the midst of gathering evidence meaning certain images have Lily Watcher's na
me and other periphery details in green whilst other images show her name in in red this means that in order for scale screenshots to have the same color as mine she'd have had to through some Cosmic coincidence install the same app which is visibly absent from screenshots used earlier in her video and change it at the very same time I did whilst Gathering the evidence in the exact same order as me suffice to say this data point is more than enough on its own but I wanted to include the other tw
o to really nail this if I get a perfect match along all three points that is as close to proof of non verban plagiarism as you can really get aside from a written confession of course so let's start with the first image that appears in Scout's video at 2216 taken from our inro video as seen at 144 let's overlay that using 50% transparency to reveal that yes it's a onetoone match on the zoom Factor moving on next to the profile pick since the background is not visible we see Lily is sporting the
exact same smug face on a purple background in both images lastly looking at ly Watcher's username we see that it is highlighted in Green in both images making this a perfect match moving on to the second image which appears in Scar's video at 2536 this one was copied from our video containing glaze testimony as seen at 1635 let's overlay that revealing again a onetoone match on the zoom Factor moving on to the background and profile pick we see Lily is in her purple phase and she is using the
same image of her avatar on a light background staring to one side lastly looking at the postate and number of notes whilst not legible in Scout's copy we can just about make out the red coloring just like in the original signaling that this was taken after I manually updated Lee's name on my end once again making this a perfect match the third image which appears in Sky's video at 2339 was again copy from our video containing glaz testimony as seen at 1756 let's overlay that revealing again a o
netoone match on the zoom Factor moving on to the background and profile pick we see Lily was still in her paper phase so far as the background lastly looking at the post date account name note this is Lily's art profile and number of notes we see that this was taken before I manually updated Lily's name on my end making this another perfect match the fourth image which appears in Scar's video at 2629 was again copy from our video containing glaze testimony as seen at 2255 however it was also sh
own again in the video containing McKenzie's testimony including at 3029 a fact that will be important when we take a look at how even the stuff said between the screenshots that scalp personally presents as her own original thoughts were copied directly from the personal thoughts of both myself and Levi regarding this very same piece of evidence so I just wanted to note that quickly let's overlay that revealing again a onetoone match on the zoom Factor moving on to the background and profile pi
ck we see Lily in her purple face and she is using the same image of her avatar on a light background staring to one side we also see the number of notes in this one on Scout's copy is just about legible at one note same as my own screenshot lastly looking at the postate number of notes and L's name whil it's difficult to read on Scout's copy we can clearly make out the red coloring especially around Lily's name just like in the original signaling that this was taken after I manually updated L's
name on my end once again making this a perfect match the fifth image which appears in sc's video at 2815 was copy from my video to bunking ly orer child predator arguments as seen at 216 let's overlay that revealing again a onetoone match on the zoom Factor moving on to the background and profile picks we not only see Lily in her purple face but this time has her B seual profile pick as seen at the bottom of the notes speaking of notes there are six other notes visible in Scout's copy all of t
hem containing the exact same profile pick and username as seen in my original whilst also appearing in the exact same order lastly looking at the post date number of notes and Le's name whil it's difficult to read in Scout's copy we can clearly make out the red coloring especially around Lily's name just like in the original again signaling that this was taken after I manually updated Lily's name on my end once again making this a perfect match the six image which appears in Scout's video at 20
1818 was taken from the same video as before 4 as seen at 222 let's overlay that revealing again a onetoone match on the zoom Factor moving on to the background and profile picks whilst we can't see leas profile pick in this image what we can see are the purple background along with six individuals in the notes all sporting the exact same profile pictures as the ones in my original image all in the exact same order lastly looking at the post date and number of notes whil it's difficult to read a
nd Scout copy we can still make out the red coloring just like in the original again signaling that this was taken after I manually updated L's name on my end once again making this a perfect match the seventh image which appears in Scout's video at 2842 was taken from the same video as before as seen at 1908 let's overlay that revealing again a one to one match on the zoom Factor moving on to the background and profile picks of course this is Twitter T yet we do see the same profile pick in bot
h Scout's copy and my original lastly looking at Li's username and tag we can clearly make out the red coloring just like the original signaling that this was taken after I manually updated Lily's name on my end once again making this a perfect match bringing us to the E and final image which appears in scowl's video at 3317 and was taken from our stock Home Video as seen at 1605 let's overlay that reveal surprise surprise a onetoone match on the zoom Factor moving on to profile picks we see Lil
y has her bisexual Avatar lastly looking at L's username we can clearly make out the red coloring just like the original signaling for one final time that this was taken after I manually updated L's name on my end once again making this a perfect match so that's 8 for8 perfect matches on all images along Ong these three data points including one which was personally tailed to my own preferences that is confirmation that these images were ripped directly from my video another data point that the
keyid amongst you might have noticed is that every single image and indeed the very layout of this 13 minute section follows the exact same order as our series I was in a lot of distress when I first realized we've been plagiarized so Levi jumped into to grab the time stamps in scowl's video along with my originals once again proving that he is the best bird a girl could ask for and he was the one who noticed that he didn't have to jump between videos to do so scow had not only ripped the eviden
ce straight from our videos without crediting she didn't even bother to change their order instead going through the evidence exactly as we did which is interesting considering we didn't work through said evidence in chronological order as evidence in how the safety feature in the screenshots jumped from green to Red to Green again yet scy would like you along with her audience and patrons to think that she came up with all of this on her own that is just a coincidence that the screenshots of id
entical to mine on several distinct data points including a personalized safety feature and the order in which they are discussed I think the technical term used to describe such a phenomenon in statistics is absolute [ __ ] bollocks scow is not only taking me for a fool but her own audience is such in how she genuinely thinks that she can get away with this so if you're a fan of hers especially if you're someone who donates to her patreon are you going to prove her right or are you going to hav
e some down self respect another thing that irks me about this is just how lazy the strip mining was one one thing you might have noticed is that scal screenshots are completely out of focus with the secondary text on many of them being illegible yet my own copies of my screenshots aren't in spite of those screenshots having been grabbed from the very same rendered video I didn't go back to the editing file as that would be more hassle than it's worth the reason my own copies are so much better
is because I use an impr program snapshot feature with scow I am almost certain that she didn't even bother to download my videos and take what she wanted that way I think she just took screenshots whilst watching our videos before trimming them down That's how little respect she has for the work she stole another example of her laziness can be seen in the fact that I literally reference everything I can passing most of it through the internet archive meaning that had she wanted to she could hav
e opened them h self and taking the screenshot at whatever zoom level she liked without the security feature and it would have made proving her plagiarism difficult if not impossible but she didn't because the entire point of plagiarism is to avoid doing the work by stealing from others it reveals a great disdain towards everything scal presents to her own audience as her original work worthy of their money what scal has done here as proven thus far is effectively go into a research paper rippin
g out all the data tables along with the grph charts and diagrams before presenting them as her own in a paper she has written whilst expecting to be paid for it not just in AdSense and patreon but also through our sponsor hellofresh not to mention merchandise that alone is plagiarism is fraud is theft left but it gets even worse when we actually take a look at the stuff she says between the evidence because we find out that she's stolen more than just the evidence provided throughout our series
she's attempted to claim mine and Levi's personal thoughts as her own starting with what is perhaps the clearest example of this the same moment that hit me like a brick namely this little nugget taken from just after scout shares the screenshot in which Lee presents herself as a safe way for young people to explore their sexuality by sending her nudes but the first thing that popped into my brain was what if she just asked herself this question so that she could answer it and get people to sen
d her these photos of themselves and how is she going to vet that the people who are sending them are adults oh it just popped into your head really you had that thought so it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that in our video video containing MacKenzie's testimony I quite literally say the following now I don't know if these messages are sent in by a particularly fervent Lily Orchard fan or if she's sending these herself within minutes of providing the exact same piece of evidence lik
e yeah I go into greater detail about a couple more pieces since I was covering a broader point but like you can see me discussing the evidence and the bit I just played you on the same page in my script they're not exactly dis connected points as for the idea that she thought of this from a single screenshot is it actually reasonable to come up with that if you have no prior knowledge about Lily Orchard and how she runs her community I'd argue not like there's a reason I presented a bunch of ev
idence showing how anytime there's a controversy surrounding Lily she always gets sent softball questions anonymously which allow her to refrain the issue however she pleases no one would believe it if it wasn't a pattern so the comment was made in a very specific context leading it to come out of left field without it add that to the fact that as demonstrated earlier scow or S on Scout's team almost certainly watched our videos to stripmine them for screenshots and I would argue that this is ve
ry strong evidence of her not only stealing our hard work but our very thoughts presenting them as her own original ideas like she explicitly states that this popped into her brain rather than she heard it from someone else and it stuck with her this was the moment I knew I was going to have to act I even make the same point as a second question the one asking and how is she going to vet that the people who are sending them are adults this one comes from the Glade video in which I said the follo
wing Lily has confessed that people in in her audience regularly send her naked photos of themselves and while she claims to delete them all there's no [ __ ] way to check that this is the same person who went out of her way to violate the security of the safe for work section she set up on her server how can we be sure she doesn't keep them and how the living [ __ ] can we be certain that none of the minor she has groomed have fallen victim to this yet the [ __ ] show continues for whilst I rea
ch the following conclusion in my own video on Stockholm said narrative is carried over into chapter 23 post-traumatic stress disorder Twilight's abuse is given a pardon by a professional because it's apparently what Essen she has come to expect from life and she should therefore keep indulging in it sweetie Bell is further punished for the actions of a child predator and the fanfic ends with a very hand fisted letter by Twilight to Princess Celestia closing with I've learn learned I think we al
l have that to truly be with someone you have to take the good with the bad don't be a fair with a friend take the one you love at their best and worst or not at all your former student Twilight Sparkle now if you've watched the MLP series you know that Twilight's letters are the summary of whichever Mo lesson has been learned throughout the episode considering this alongside Shai's own feelings in the previous chapter and the overall message of Le's fanfic is laid out quite literally in black a
nd white to report someone who has sexually assaulted a minor makes you a fair weather friend that is Le's main moral lesson to the reader that you should enable someone who abuses children that gets taken reheated and Slots onto a plate as and one character in this essay says a minor one of the friends in the story reports the person who does that and for some reason the whole lesson of the story is that this makes the person who did the reporting a bad friend I especially love how she changed
fair weather friend like in the actual letter to bad friend it's very can I copy your homework sure just change a few words except you know I was not asked in any way scow just straight up stole my analysis and presented it as her own we also see something similar in her editing of the video in which Lily admitted to writing stocko for whilst I repeated that specific sentence when I started this series I had every intention on doing something special for Halloween and nothing can be better than
taking a truly bizarre and messed up fanfic and picking through it like an amphetamine fuel chimp but which one there's so many fall out Equestria that's too long fall of Equestria no equestrian Pony meat business I think I'll break my rating limits can't do Stockholm I wrote that one but then I thought what about that one Jerry the one that started this whole trend of grim dark fanfiction can't do Stockholm I wrote that one can't do Stockholm I wrote that one can't do Stockholm I wrote that one
Scout goes ahead and slows it down fall out Equestria that's too long Fall of Equestria no equestrian Pony meat business I think I'll break my rating limits can't do Stockholm I wrote that one now to be fair this particular piece of evidence is weak on its own it's not exactly a hard thing to come up with but when taken in the entire context of how everything else was copied it does hint to a fundamental lack of imagination though scal was at least smart enough to download a clean copy of the v
ideo from somewhere else as the time code isn't present in her video the one visible now having been added to show where the offending clip is in her video returning to something a little stronger here's my comment about the way in which Lily has avoided having her YouTube channel close down for running sexual streams even YouTube's terms the server State very clearly That explicit content meant to be sexually gratifying is not allowed on YouTube which has further expanded upon to include nudity
or partial nudity that's meant for sexual gratification and yet in spite of banning all sexy gratifying content YouTube still has an 18 plus category something that would not exist if 18 plus were synonymous with sexually gratifying content like Lily is pretending and Lily knows this that's why she deletes her streams to ensure that they're never flagged for said sexual content which scal reduces down to she also apparently did this a lot on YouTube live streams and will get away with it by del
eting the stream immediately after which is just completely against YouTube's terms of service this [ __ ] just keeps on happening throughout the entire 30 minutes section minus the one minute discuss at the start that is the entire [ __ ] section rip straight from our series and whilst I get that it's more or less a footnotes Edition the thing about footnotes is that they don't compete with the original and they certainly don't [ __ ] pretend like they're not based on the original returning to
my researcher paper analogy this is beyond simply strip mining a paper for its data and grass this is like reading the paper strip mining it and then attempting to rewrite what was originally written from memory adding virtually no original thought and the laziness [ __ ] shows at one point in her video scow acknowledges that Lily Orchard lied about age verification on YouTube She also lied and said that YouTube requires somebody to submit their ID in order to watch 18 plus streams which is not
true like that's just not true and she would also know that that's not true and anybody who's ever watched any kind of age restricted content on YouTube would also know that that's not true so I don't know how you make such a blatant lie and just expect everybody to take that of face value but this seems to be a thing that controversial creators do I don't get it I'm never going to get it doesn't make any sense yet she fails to note the specifics of how Lily lied leading scow to present misinfor
mation giving Lily Orchard ammunition to discredit not just scow but all her critics for an actual explanation of the LIE we can return to my original breakdown of Lily's claim only problem is this is false at least in the way it has been presented here you see whilst YouTube has introduced ID verification in certain territories the key key phrase here is certain territories namely Australia the European Union European economic area Switzerland and the United Kingdom as you will notice neither C
anada the place Lily is from nor the US the place where the majority of Lily's audience exists are included on that list so Lily is misinforming her audience Min is included as a means of hiding her predatory behavior but wait did didn't scow imply that she was falling back on her own personal experience as someone within the EU yeah she did for a channel that was created in 2012 meaning it was old enough to grandfather into the 18 plus category when the laws were first introduced I know because
this Channel created in 2011 was the same yet the moment I set up my personal Channel using a completely different email selecting the UK as my country of origin Google did require me to supply my ID so returning to the misinformation Scout doesn't even do us the decency of going back to double check the specific context of her assertions she just makes the most generic statement possible and that's it which is not only dangerous in how it gears Lee Orchard ammunition it's also [ __ ] insulting
as with all plagiarism it's insulting to me and Levi as artists but more important than that it's insulting to Levi specifically as someone whose experience as another victim of Lily Orchard was instrumental to many of the context specific insights we had with Levi having quite literally coined the phrase Lily orer mind prison to describe the atmosphere of control and manipulation like discuss regarding the whole anonymous question thing Insight I must add that was also based on over 24 years o
f personal suffering at the hands of other abusers all of that was just Stripped Away for a cheap cash grab it's also insulting to the topic in general along with all of us who have ever been made to suffer through similar violence as someone who was raped as a child and later groomed online I am personally disgusted by just how half ass Scout's coverage of the topic is her commentary on the issue is worse than worthless it is actively harmful the reason Lily Orchard gets away with so much [ __ 
] is because hacks like scow present misinformation as fact making more work for people like me by kicking up dust making a mess of things allowing Lily Orchard to slip away amongst the chaos this is why it took us years to compile everything to avoid the very thing that scow in her unending laziness has gone on to do well scow you've muddy the field and made it easier for a sexual predator to handwave her critics I hope you're [ __ ] proud of yourself speaking of H another way I know for a fact
that scow has watched our videos is by her giving specifics regarding glaz's testimony she also encouraged a minor to watch her stream to find out what happens in it and in that stream she showed parts of herself that are not suit able for everybody of every age group and for every website if you get what I mean now to be fair when I first came across sc's video a whole 4 days and 50,000 views after publishing she did have a single line in her description which read as quote thank you to Lily O
rchard gossip blog. tumblr.com for having a lot of resources and screenshots in one place and quote don't you worry we will get to how she edited her description after I sent her an email in the next chapter yet returning to things before then it is possible that she got her information from there I know she didn't get the screenshots from them since said blog doesn't use mine anything I added they were smart enough to use the links I provided to take their own but Levi wanting to be fer went th
rough the blog and searched for anything relating to Glade or even an unnamed minor finding a single part ing mention of Glade in the following quote clarification she banned miners from her server because the walls were closing in between the porn accounts full of CSM her history of writing CM her soliciting sexual encounters via her YouTube streams and her baiting a minor into clicking on an 18 plus stream this is just her covering her ass end quote as you can see no specific details as to wha
t Lily actually did in the Stream she baited Glade to watch just that it was 18 plus so considering that fact along with everything else I've shown you thus far I can only conclude personally that she watched the video with glaz testimony explaining not just how she got the screen shots but also how she knows about these specifics but perhaps more important than the plagiarism scow is dehumanizing Glade Lily Archer's victim in this instance by refusing to give Glade a name or referen his actual
testimony scow is effectively stripping him of his humanity and voice Glade is no longer a person who has shared their testimony in scowl's video but a nameless case a file an object to be passed around that's it that's how she treats the victims of the person she's pretending to expose scow is just exploiting Glade in a different way to Lily Orchard but that doesn't make it right yet to add insult to injury scow has the [ __ ] go to say the following these are very very serious accusations obvi
ously it's very very important to listen to the people who say these things have happened to them oh you think it's important to listen to Lily or's victims well how the [ __ ] are people meant to do just that when you quite literally refuse to name or Source them tell me how the [ __ ] they can listen though it's not just Glade Lily Watcher's other victims receive the exact same treatment because in spite of quite literally saying the following whilst reading out Courtney's testimony repeatedly
I will however link the full post in the description if you want to read the full thing again if you feel like you can handle it then you can read the full thing it's in my description this was not the case again the only line that even mentioned anyone else was the one that read thank you to Lily Orchard gossip blog. tumblr.com for having a lot of resources and screenshots in one place and that is it scow couldn't even be bothered to reference the people she said she linked let alone all of th
e people whose work she stole at least she didn't until I sent her an email which will cover in more detail in a minute but returning to what she did the very next day in spite of her refusing to respond to me scow suddenly updated her description not only did she now include a link to the AFF forementioned blog but a random video by definitely Bor oranges Josh scorches response to L Orchard yes the Josh scorcher who went on to date incos after he and Lily groomed her as a minor Lizzy's testimon
y a copy of Courtney's testimony notably the copy behind a pay wall put up by someone who was out as having sexually harassed Courtney as opposed to you know one of the openly mired copies and a single post by Tumblr user opinionated user none of which contain the screenshots I've shown you by the way what I don't think scow realizes is that by including this list almost a week after her video had been published after it had AUD mased 50,000 views she was tacitly admitting that she had plagiariz
ed many of these people all of these sources should have been there on day one and even then that's not enough she still needs to give some sort of signal when she's referencing them either verbally or visually like our numerical referencing because it is downright shocking to see the similarities between sca's actions here and illuminor AKA Blair as called out in h bomber guys plagiarism video last year but here's where it gets interesting Blen knows people might notice this so she's come up wi
th a defense mechanism the video has a link in the description to a list of sources where stuff she quoted or showed in the video gets linked this is normal lots of people do this although usually they site them when they use them in the actual video but still it's an unlabeled collection of links that's difficult to sort through but if you keep digging eventually you find a link to Brian Dia's Youtube upload of the documentary so now if anyone criticizes the fact she ripped it off she can say n
o I I was using a source I cited it check it's in my list somewhere and she uses this flimsy excuse to basically steal anything she wants Blair frequently plagiarizes people never mentions they exist in the video or cites them anywhere but she puts a link in a list no one will read so that makes it okay right Alis aluminati had the decency to Source her victims from day one scow only does so after she's been called out out and even then she deliberately left me out of upd description in spite of
the fact that I can show substantial evidence of just how much she had plagiarized US during the specific 30 minute segment it's because of this that I predict that with the publishing on this video scow and her followers are probably going to try and argue that her Source list was there from day one and that all the screenshots and all the information stolen from us actually came from these other people back Bing on an audience just trusting her you know exactly what Lea did when she lied abou
t ID verification on YouTube however there is one more aspect to all this I'd like to discuss evidence that very strongly spells out to me personally that this was not an accident or Genuine mistake and that Scar's response to my attempts to reach out to her as already noted I was livid when I realized just how bad the plagiarism was needing to calm down before I could do anything else though once I had I decided to try and reach out to Evangelina scow for a number of reasons one I was hoping th
at there might be saying I just missed I'm not sure what but something anything that might have explain things other than this person ripped off years of my work it was also possible that scow didn't write or research her own content merely presenting it meaning it might not be her who was responsible for the plagiarism I didn't want to attack her as a person until I had a better idea of whether this was delivered on her part or not third I just wanted to give people a chance to own up to it to
pay the compensation i f i was owed for the damages at this point before moving on so here's what I wrote quote hi I'm reaching out to you because I've learned that your channel has plagiarized several of my videos your Channel's video Lily Orchard YouTube's biggest creep Lily Pete contains several screenshots which are identical to the ones from from my videos the presenter copies several of my phrases almost word for word and the presenter references the source of our victim testimony who has
not shared their story anywhere else plagiarism is not only morally wrong but also a violation of copyright law so I expect this to be corrected essence of for has always intended for our resources to be freely used by others so usually we would only require you to link our channel in the video description credit us for the screenshots and have the presenter site us whenever one of ideas or pieces of evidence is using the video since you your writers or your researchers did not do so we feel we
are entitled to 30% of the video's monetary value as compensation based on the fact that 30 minutes of a 38 minute video are clearly plagiarized that includes AdSense patreon earnings for the month of February and sponsorship earnings from hellofresh these actions are to be taken along with issuing a correction SL apology to all social media media as well as including an explanation of the issue at the top of the video description run by us first explaining the error thank you for your time Ethe
l thirston founder of essence of for end quote that was sent on Tuesday the 20th of February 2024 there are a couple of Corrections I'd like to make regarding this letter the first being about the 30 minute estimate again going back I trimmed out the one minute of filler making it 12 minutes as as opposed to 13 that said Scout also spends one minute on her intro and two on her outro which aren't really content meaning it's 12 minutes out of 34 minutes as opposed to 13 minutes out of 38 minutes s
o accounting for that the plagiarized material is still about a third of the research portion of the video which I would argue is very much the portion being monetized no offense to scow but people aren't turning up for her intro and outro the second second correction relates to the sentence the presenter copies several of my phrases almost word for word which is a bit strong again when I wrote this I was coming down from an anxiety Spike passing stuff between myself and Levi I shown you the evi
dence regarding the comment about Lee sending herself anonymous questions and including Narrative of Stockholm that's what this was referenced to but I do admit word for word is too strong of a characterization I just need to make that absolutely clear keeping in mind that this is the first and thus far only time I share these emails publicly hence the immediate need to add this addendum that said I'm still pretty happy with this in general I felt it's a good balance between being open to having
the situation explained to me yet also firm in that I'm not going to be pushed around I think 30% of the video's monetary value is a fair asking price considering the extent and nature of the plagiarism whilst also noting that had I been properly cited in the video I wouldn't have taken such an issue I I also hope that me approaching them might call scow or anyone working behind the screen to re-evaluate how they do things the cnic and me however went ahead and archived a copy of her video on i
nternet archive not for the video itself but for the description just in case she tried to sneak the references in to pretend like they were always there and wouldn't you know it that's exactly what she did about Midway through the 21st I checked back in to find the updated description sourcing very people minus myself this to me was an immediate red flag that she knew to Source these people the moment I questioned her suggest very strongly that whoever is running things is fully cognizant of wh
at they are doing that's to say Scout or Scout's team know they're plagiarizing they're just relying on nobody being willing to take on a Channel of her size I say that because their screen's preparing to go on the defense I imagine that when this video goes out out Scout and her supporters will pretend like the description always included these new sources or that she forgot to include them something she could have said in response to my initial email if you think there's a simple explanation i
t's natural to try and share that explanation yet she can't really do that now since it ignores the fact that she still hasn't referenced me for the work she stole from our channel to me personally these are not the actions of an honest person owning up to a mistake or a flaw in system these are the actions of a dishonest person trying to get away with plagiarism that said I'm always told to give people the benefit of the doubt to give them more chances to fix their mistakes so I reached out aga
in this time stating that quote hi I'm aware that you have updated your video description since my email to include everyone you plagiarized excluding me in spite of the fact that I can prove you get 12 minutes of your video from my series including through the clever application of data triangulation I am suffice to say disappointed with your course of action and would like to give you one final chance to make amends before I go public with everything eel firsten founder of essence of for end q
uote this was sent on Wednesday the 21st of February 2024 I would finally receive a response on Thursday the 22nd stating quote thank you for following up all further correspondence can be sent to our lawyer end quote she then gave me the email address of a lawyer in Canada now I'm not going to lie this R me for a bit as scow either lives in Dublin or Macedonia at least according to a Twitter and wiku profile then my wife adita who is also a lawyer pointed out the custom email scow users at sola
ro MGMT with solaro management being a canadian-based media management company company now I'm not particularly worried about this since I've seen how lawyers typically operate in these sorts of situations though to be clear I'm not a legal professional myself but as I seen it as a human rights activist who has made some pretty fragile enemies over the years the whole talk to my lawyer is only something you really say in person when it comes to writing you go to your lawyer and have them respond
for you the fact that they haven't done Al suggests to me that they likely haven't taken the case you said lawyer at least not yet and are hoping that the mere mention of a lawyer will scare me into self censoring and yes I do consider that to be threatening behavior I approached scow in the hopes that she would be open to talking to me as a human being hopefully explaining what happened and if no good explanation could be given for her actions apologizing before going on to make amends I think
it's a very human reaction to want to explain ourselves when we're made aware of the fact that we're hurting other people even if we weren't previously aware that we were doing so and that's what I was hoping for so for scout to jump straight to telling me to contact her lawyer reads to me like someone going oh you want to have a go then just on a legal level effectively pressuring me to stop pursuing the matter another thing I find really interesting about this entire situation is that Scout l
iterally published a video last month about how Illuminati is gearing up to sue various people who have come forward and shared their horrible experiences of how she abused and exploited them including fire plagiarism yet here scow is refusing to even try and engage in civil conversation after she was caught plagiarizing so when she says [ __ ] like this I don't know how you make such a blatant lie and just expect everybody take that of face value but this seems to be a thing that controversial
creators do I don't get it I'm never going to get it doesn't make any sense I don't believe her she is exactly the same as a lot of the people she criticizes she is just another Illuminati and if you're a fan of hers especially if you're someone giving to her patreon I have to ask do you like being played for a sucker because that's what she's doing she not only ripped myself Levi and our patrons off by plagiarizing our work but she's also ripped you off in presenting other people's work lazily
Blended as her own and it's not just her viewers and patrons it's also her corporate sponsors these people pay either with their money or time as were the case with ads to see or appear in original content they do not pay to see or appear in plagiarized crap so yeah that's the situation so far minus one very shocking update but I'll save that for a standalone piece if you see my post you know what it is but returning to the reply that's why I've now gone ahead and publish this video hopefully ex
posing velina scow and solaro management for what they are at least in light of the evidence I have available to me but again do check and double check the evidence for yourself make maybe you'll notice saying I miss and I'll be forced to swallow Humble Pie but that's going to have to be some pretty amazing evidence at this point something else I want to comment on but couldn't figure out where to S it is the transmisia in sc's comment section when I sent her the email I stopped by leaving her a
standalone comment and a reply to her pin post letting her know about the email and when I returned to see if the comment was still up I I was shocked by just how much anti-trans rhetoric there was in the comment section so I went through collecting a bunch of these comments up to 24 of them before just giving up I couldn't continue because how depressing it was as a trans person here is the wall of bigotry I created note that I included my own comment to show just how many of these comments we
re posted in the three days after my own post so let's start with a general point if you cannot create a community in which marginalized people are largely safe you have absolutely no business doing so as a Creator it is 100% your responsibility to moderate your space and I say that someone whose videos on Lily Orchard have garnered more than a million views collectively go through the comment section on my videos you will not find a single transmisic or aess remark or or indeed any form of bigo
try I mention ableism specifically since it's very often connected to transmisia as seen in the comment stating that Lily is an autistic dude when you dead name and misgender so on even a terrible person I can guarantee that they absolutely do not care but that other trans people checking out the comments will be affected being more specific to Scout's video however glad and Courtney that's least sister are trans that's at least two of the victims referenced in Scout's video who would not be saf
e scrolling through the comment section of her video if you cannot guarantee that the people you are referencing will be safe in the space immediately surrounding your video you have no business referencing them that's exploitation you're taking for them without even ensuring that they be safe in your community that is just a horrific State of Affairs though I wish I could say I was shocked so that's the case meaning all that's left to talk about is the impact the entire thing has had on me whil
st also explaining what I've been the last month and a half because as much as I joke and try to laugh things off this really couldn't have come at a worst time for me for those on my channel you probably noticed I haven't uploaded a single video since December 2023 now the reason for this at least to begin with is because I was burnt out from just how personally traumatic my last video was and like okay we get it I took a couple of weeks off after producing a 3 hour fully referenced fully subti
tled video that's not that unusual however just as I was getting ready to get back into recording one of my old NHS feelings failed opening things up to a rather severe infection leading me to acquire some emergency Dentistry before the problem reached the jaw I was in and out of the dentist over a period of about a month just trying to get rid of the infection as it was shockingly bad and then just as I was waiting to have the final root canal session before being capped I had an accident which
broke my foot note that I will be showing you one of the slides for my CT scan in a bit so if you don't want to see it look away I'll let you know when it's safe to look back back just give you a couple of seconds I have a communited fracture at the base of the first metal tassel on my right foot that's the socket joint shown here now the first doctor I saw said that I'm going to need midfoot fusion surgery as soon as possible however I got a second opinion today along with a third and four for
free and they reached a different conclusion they're putting me on an observation period whilst doing some physiotherapy and if there's no pain when the bone heals I don't need the surgery but I didn't find out about this until today I was fully expecting to go into surgery when I originally recorded this video hence I've now patched in this update but the fact remains at the time vangelina scal plagiarized me I was getting ready to have surgery meaning she added two said stress it's safe to lo
ok back now all of this has been a problem for my work since all of my various appointments first my teeth then for my foot have been in the middle of the day Deli is a mega City and is as noisy as [ __ ] I usually can't record during the day at the best of times but to make things even worse there are two apartments across the street which are being demolished one after the other so I have to wait till midnight in order to get clean audio meaning I have to flip my sleep cycle meaning I can't re
ally do that when I have so many appointments it's not that I don't want to work I have written six whole scripts eight if we include this one and the followup that will be coming out all backdated so far as the patrons called out towards the end just waiting until I can record this is something I didn't think to include in my original script only hastily doing so now if you can't tell I couldn't record the entire video last night hence the change in shirt I woke up in the middle of the night an
d spent 4 hours trying to get the video done about a third longer than I usually would for the number of pages being recorded by the point I made it to the Final Chapter my speech was starting to slur I really don't think I realize just how exhausted everything the last couple of months has actually made me so I just wanted to note that here as an additional thing that's making it difficult to work yet all this isn't even the half of it for you see I'm our household has been in the red since Sep
tember of 2023 Adidas field has been left in ruin by new restrictions placed on the UN by the Indian government and I lost a number of patrons though just a quick side note I'm not angry or anything about the patrons please don't feel bad if you are one of them the unifying narrative is that people's finances have been hit hard by the [ __ ] show that is literally everything happening right now point is things have reached a point where after paying for renting utilities on a one-bedroom apartme
nt I've had to go to my dad and ask for £100 a month just to put food on the table which I understand is a privilege in that I can do that but it is still nerve-racking to go from being an independent adult to someone relying on their parents financial support this is not a place I want to be in and yes it's something that keeps me up at night staring at the the ceiling as I beat myself up for not gaining enough ground now if you're one of my subscribers you might be wondering why I haven't said
anything why I haven't mentioned how D things are as I've done in the past well mostly it's because I'd already begun my big series about the events in 2019 a series that whilst essential for my mental health put me in a situation where I felt like I couldn't push my patreon more than usual because my abusers love love to assert that I'm only talking about the violence they inflicted upon me for financial gain I had thought about putting the series off for a bit as the first video wasn't ready
to go out until mid-september but I began working on the series AR fresh as early as April which can be seen in how I asked for support to get my camcorder fixed something I felt was needed to help humanize me to the people who' been taught that I was subhuman I had originally planned for a July release and was feeling pretty excited towards the end of June yeah that got pushed back to August and then September by this point it felt like it was slipping between my fingers again so I decided I co
uld not put it off any longer I needed to get all the evidence out there for people to see so I went ahead with the series feeling as if I had to keep everything quiet for now I hope to have the videos done by November yet that clearly fell through this is why I was so desperate to get the fifth and final video done so that I could wait a couple of weeks and then let you know about the financial situation so for my teeth and foot to put me out of action was downright torturous though as you can
tell I no longer give a [ __ ] a big reason as to why I no longer give a [ __ ] is that I found out that someone with 100,000 subscribers has just plagiarized one of the hardest series I've ever produced mincing it up and presenting said sick mockery as their own original work someone who is not only making bank on the ad revenue and patreon but also merchandise and brand sponsorships it's more than a little soul crushing I'm not going to lie and yeah the more I think about it how I was ripped o
ff how Glade was dehumanized and just what a easy ass job scow did with all that she stole the angrier I get and that's before we even consider how I G scow multiple chances to fix things yet she decided to try and pull a fast and sneaky one before playing the lawyer card clearly hoping that I disappear well I'm not I'm here and I'm ready to be heard drawing inspiration from Tay pratchet going postal for a second SC now if you're watching this I'd like you to hear what I have to say to you perso
nally you may not have thought to but in aund small ways you have snatched the bread from My Starving mouth pilfering our work to create a monstrosity something that is antithetical to everything we are building towards the essence of thought yet even worse than that when I reached out to you about the harm your actions were doing to try and reach an accord you spurned me you pretended to ignore my cries whilst editing the description of your video acting like you were an honorable person when I
did not give up you threatened me so I have to ask you velina scowl how does it feel to be faced by one of the people you have exploited for your own ill-gotten gain do you feel feel pride in what you have done achievement or do you just feel powerful like you owed everything you steal we are Beyond making amends at this point I gave you that chance twice I will make sure your reputation Burns upon fires fueled by your own history because if there's one thing I've learned about plagiarists it's
that they're never satisfied with with doing it once that all it takes is for one person to stand up to go hang on a second and the next thing you know you have a chain reaction of fellow victims doing the same I hope you enjoyed your series on Illuminati's downfall because that is where you are headed I hope it was worth it as for the rest of you what do you think you think how do you feel about the evidence provided throughout this video what are your thoughts about the way I approach Scout i

Something else I want to add which I didn't think of until just now is that taking my insights without credit is extremely insulting to me as a disabled person. I have a lot of debilitating mental health problems from the abuse and neglect I went through. Not only that, but last year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after being incapacitated by brain fog, a lack of motivation and fatigue. If that sounds familiar to those who've been following my work, that's because this hypothyroidism has likely been impacting me for years, possibly my entire adult life (though it's impossible to know due to the gradual nature of the disease). Basically, a huge part of the production hell was that it was extremely difficult for me to contribute: it was more difficult and it took much longer for me to give significantly less than a healthy person could. Stealing a handful of insights from a disabled creator can, depending on the type and extent of their disability, be the equivalent of stealing an entire finished piece (or more!) from a healthy creator in terms of the amount of time, energy and effort which went into the work. By the way, for anyone who's worried, I want to be clear that I've been on thyroxin for several months now and I'm close to, if not fully, recovered. On that note, I encourage you to read about the symptoms of both hypo- and hyperthyroidism (that is, over- and under-active thyroid) and tell your loved ones to do the same: hopefully you can catch any thyroid issues sooner than I did.

@VincentMariethe4th

When I saw Vangelina's Lily Orchard video I did find it very disappointing that it was really just an abridged version of your series, instead of something that was more in her own voice. If she had acknowledged/credited your videos & encouraged her viewers to go check those out for more details on the issues, that would've been fine. Could've helped another creator as a community should, while also alerting her own audience about how dangerous Lily is as an online influencer. Also, I will admit that if I were discussing Lily's crimes in a video, my own instinct would've probably been to not mention those that she victimized by name, such as Glade, because I wouldn't want to inadvertently direct any further harassment towards them from Lily's defenders. However I now understand your stance that survivors ought to be humanized more & not just treated as some statistics, as they are real people who are affected by these kinds of crimes in the long-term.

@JD-pd3gl

If she plagiarized your video, why didn’t you do a dmca claim here on YouTube instead of sending her threatening emails??

@saltydinonuggies1841

I’ve been a semi fan of Skov since early 2020 and this is really just one of the last straws for me with her content. I’ve never been someone who would drop everything to watch a new video but she’d regularly pop up when I was binging random stuff while crocheting or drawing. I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated at the lack of research that seems to go into her content and as others have said after her misdirected hatred towards hbomber guy I’ve really just stopped watching all together. I watched the first few minutes of her illuminaughtii video and ended up turning it off because (like most of her recent videos) I wasn’t really hearing any new takes or perspectives. To find out she’s (allegedly) just stolen a lot of it is just majorly frustrating. And then for her to respond Poorly when reached out to is really just the icing on top there. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.

@lokilover1315

She just showed everyone the email. You are the blackmailer here. She also never copied your video.

@Scottiestoybox

Hello Ethel. I am sorry for what you have been through, both recently with your foot and teeth, but also this issue of someone stealing your work. My husband also has teeth issues that have made us take him into the emergency room of a local hospital, but as we have to pay for health care in the US, all they could do is give him antibiotics for the infection and advised he gets it fixed. Ethel normally I keep my comments short and just to show my support. But today if you will allow I want to expand on that support. To start I am an older man about to become 61 years old. I found your early videos when you were a teen because I was looking for videos supporting atheism and being skeptical about things. Even though you were a teen, I found you to be thoughtful and to really put effort into what you were saying. You really did not just say stuff and then later say more stuff, you researched, and let everyone know the information you found and where they could find it. Then you started to talk about your experience with domestic abuse. This was when you were transitioning to a higher education student and I enjoyed your debates often laughing that all your opponents could say against you was your speech impediment issues. Your content they couldn't refute. As a child who grew up in a very dysfunction home with lots of violence, I felt again I understood part of what you were saying. Then the unfortunate issue with Rationality Rules, the Atheist community of Austin, and all about trans in sports. I looked deeply into each and every reference. While the others were going on emotion and "common sense of what has always been" you provided facts, science, data, and links to back it up. You were correct, but I think it hurt you, both professionally and as a person emotionally. That you not only took that stand but in my view came out stronger is again a testament to who you are as a person. Then you talked about your rape and abuse. I hurt and understood your issues so much being a survivor of long time child physical / sexual abuse. I regret not reaching out to you at the time to help but I was and am still struggling with those issues my self. Still I feel I should have, and I hope others did offer you support and suggest organizations that can help. The online one that has helped me the most is https://malesurvivor.org/. They have so many forums from survivor stories of their abuse to just people needing to talk or other forums for songs. Ethel to this video. I am sorry of all the things that have happened to you, right now it seems you can not get a break (other than your foot) in things going on. It is totally not right that others profit from the work you and your team do. You deserve far more than you are getting for your work. As you have documented you are meticulous in the details of your videos. I find that wonderful because that level of detail is not only beyond me, but really beyond my understanding of what it takes for someone to do it. You deserve the credit and more important to you maybe right now you deserve compensation. Thank you for indulging me for this overly long comment. I hope you will be able to keep making content of any length on any subject. I will watch them and like. I doubt I will comment again because I normally don't. But you are one of the people I feel really needs support to keep doing what you do. I wish I could support you financially but all I can give is my best wishes and YouTube likes. Hugs, love. Scottie

@chrisl0081234

Her deleted anti-Hbomberguy plagiarism video makes sense given this event

@your.gay.cousin

commenting for the algorithm. love your work as always!!! I really hope this video (and your series on Orchard) gets the attention it deserves and that Skov gets her shit together. sending you and Levi all my love and support 🫂

@arzule4318

Imma be real i don’t think that taking screenshots from someone’s video without crediting them is plagiarism. Is it shady? sure, but she did not take your script and/or copyrighted material and attempt to pass it as her own. The illuminaughtii parallel also seems horribly inappropriate because Blaire wasn’t just a plagiarist, she was publicly exposed as a manipulator and abuser in the lives of her coworkers. Lazy research is not the same as plagiarism.

@jacobwashington7658

how exactly did she react to hbomberguy? She didn't really go into detail and I'm late to the party.

@disc0milf

What's bananas to me about this is like. She could have so easily made a video saying, "Hey guys, I watched this video series about this person and I just have to talk about it now. Have you guys watched it? Go do that, and then come back and let me share my thoughts on this." Like. That's just successful commentary. And it's even less work than whatever these shenanigans are.

@malloryworlton6359

I had thought she was low-effort, just not this scummy.

@user-vd2bu5sj2u

I am not an active viewer neither of yours nor Vangelina's channel; however, I did watch your video about "Stockholm" around six months ago, and have just recently stumbled upon Skov's video about Lily Orchard. Tbh, at first I did not catch the impression of her video being plagiarism, but now I can see that what she did and how she acted is truly unacceptable. I wish both you and Levi a soon recovery, and I hope you will have plenty of energy to invest in this channel)) Peace❤ (sorry if there are some grammar mistakes, I'm not a native speaker))

@distorti0n_

woah just in time for my drama filled sleep session (I love ur content sm I'm so happy I'm here early lol)

@peepy1967

That video immediately rang alarm bells for me 1) because it's so different from the sphere of the internet that VS usually covers and might have personal experience in & 2) being only 30 minutes long to cover someone with over a decade of documented bad behavior on the internet is almost a guarantee of shoddy detective work.

@garbagemancer8592

Here's my engagement bump. That ending monologue was a bit hot-winded but if there's a story to be told I'm here to promote it.

@EssenceOfThought

After I caught Vangelina Skov plagiarising our Lily Orchard series I reached out, only for Skov to edit her description to try and hide what she’d done before threatening me with her lawyer. Guess it goes to show that Skov is just another iilluminaughtii.

@PersephonevanderWaard

Glad to see a new video from you, Ethel. I'll give this a watch, now!

@Tanukibby

It's funny to see that they thought that blurring the images would make it different enough to not be found out. It also makes them seem less credible since it is difficult to read what has been typed, making it unclear if the screenshot is actually proper evidence.

@THEDubbleHelixx

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense. I stopped watching her channel because she'd cover topics so much later than every other creator while adding nothing new. The last video of hers I saw was about the Ruby Franke situation, in which she mispronounced the name of every single person involved. I thought it was so bewildering how she could get it so wrong if she had watched ANY news coverage of the case, and I suspected that she must not have done a lot of research herself. Thanks for bringing this to light.
