Mega Popular Channel Vlad Paper "A4" Accused of Plagiarism
A YouTuber with 54 million subscribers accused the blogger's channel A4 of stealing content. Here is what Vlad Bumaga answered:
One of the most popular youtubers today MrBeast, which often raffles off large sums of money for its subscribers, has accused the equally popular Russian-language channel A4 in the post-Soviet space of stealing content. He drew attention to the previews of the videos, in which the faces were changed.
MrBeast is a famous blogger on YouTube with almost 54 million subscribers. Channel A4 boasts over 28 million subscribers. At the same time, the channel in Russian is one of the most popular in Russia.

In the comments, users noted that this is theft, and that MrBeast can easily go to court. Vlad Bumaga, the face of the A4 channel, responded to the accusations on Instagram.
Another YouTuber, JustDustin, with 4,5 million subscribers, joined the accusations. He also revealed that A4 had redone his preview on his channel.
Given that the incident happened between massive channels with massive subscriber counts, chances are YouTube will take notice and intervene. Who knows, maybe the site will prohibit such actions with alteration of pictures.

Welcome to the club!
It is noteworthy that the paper does not refuse the fact that the content was stolen after all! Since the A4 channel has a large team, there is a high probability that there is a special person who deals with previews, who apparently forgot to say that stealing is not good!
Be that as it may, from now on, the A4 channel needs to come up with its own intros for the video, and not just lick them from the powers that be.
