Ophie Dokie | I don't want to talk about James Somerton forever @ophie-dokie | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
James Somerton, a commentary video essayist who was called out in HBomberGuy's 2023 video Plagiarism and You(tube) was recently found to be active on alt accounts, which inspired me to talk about this even though I assumed I was going to leave this situation alone. Plagiarism and You(Tube) came out about a week before I uploaded my first video and is a piece of work I think about a lot. I also wanted the chance to clarify that I think video essays Can be documentaries, just that many of them are not.

![Not Everyone Has To Make a Cody Ko Video Right Now! [in defense of Jarvis Johnson] [commentary]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/laJoO2OEy9M/hqdefault.jpg "Not Everyone Has To Make a Cody Ko Video Right Now! [in defense of Jarvis Johnson] [commentary]
this video is on the shorter side, Im concerned about what I think the discourse around DAngelo Wallaces excellent recent video about Cody Ko and Tana Mongeau will be, and Im concerned that the wrong people will be held accountable for things that arent nearly as bad at what Cody has been accused of or his bestie has been convicted of. I think DAngelos video was fantastic but I think some people its unfair to levy blame at are getting weird amounts of blame here.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was a 2013 adaptation of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice, which I have spoken about at length in my most recent upload. This video explores the fallout with the real world Pemberly Digital and a kickstarter campaign that was not actually paid out to the people it was promised to.

![RUTHLESS: The REAL Story Behind the Cemetery Angel of Arkansas [All The Young Men] [Scam Exposed]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pv_iRpnhVIA/hqdefault.jpg "RUTHLESS: The REAL Story Behind the Cemetery Angel of Arkansas [All The Young Men] [Scam Exposed]
Ruth Coker Burks, the AIDS ANGEL Of Hot Springs, Arkansas is a grifter. In this video I uncover some of her scams and I interview people who were in the area, who were providing resources to HIV/AIDS patients in Hot Springs, Arkansas at the time of the memoir All The Young Men.
This video is a passion project and would not have been possible without the participation of Tim Looper or Mike Melancon. It is dedicated to the memory of Daymon Jones, another pioneer in AIDS treatment in Hot Springs, and we tell some of his story in the video, since Ruth neglected to do so in her memoir. We also talk about the upcoming stage production ANGEL OF ARKANSAS, which promises to be ghoulish, and which we will discuss if it ever actually hits broadway after its previews. I thought I would finish uploading the video before midnight on the 21st, I say the video was uploaded the same day as previews but that was a deadline I also missed after my initial World AIDS day one.
Mike Melancons cashapp (this is specifically for the Tuggle Shelby Clinic, I confirmed with him when I asked how best to donate to their work.) $mikemelancon55 Ill make a community post the first time I get a payout after the Ruth video to let you know how much we raised to donate to the clinic that way and Ill make update posts there for subsequent months.
for some reason my transcription says the owner on screen during the call when mike said them re: the hospital, to my understanding theres no specific owner of Mercy hospital in Hot Springs
