Both look like they are copied from an IKEA catalogue.
But who the fuck cares except themselves?
This might as well be staged just to get attention.

Influencers are sales people. They are there to sell you things, it's a job as an ongoing infomercial. All you are doing is is listening to advertising, repackaged as some 'expert' or 'guru' who claims to know some special information that they are sharing with you. It's an Ad.

It's almost as if these two wealthy unemployable losers are similar because they both are shit people peddling cheap merchandise to scam people to pay more for trash quality throwaway products.

You wake up thinking you're going to have a good day, and then you read about these fucking people...

Interesting. Lots of craziness here, but the plaintiff used a DCMA to strike the defendant's videos because of "likeness". Just for that, I'm pro-defendant, will be interesting to see what happens.

I was pro-defendant before the end of the first paragraph. Someone suing someone else for 'stealing' their 'minimalist aesthetic' deserves to lose and get a lesson from the ol' clue by four.

Wait.. Sounds like you are still pro-defendant?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Yes. "I was pro-defendant before the end of the first paragraph." = "I agreed with this position before the end of the first section of words"

Without something to negate that statement, the statement's meaning is exactly what it says.

Yeah. I'm not sure it matters much that their content is similar. Using the DMCA system for something it clearly wasn't intended for and then furthering that with what is ultimately a frivolous lawsuit (when you're both copying a rich and famous influencer yourselves) is ridiculous especially with the Amazon algorithm giving them similar or the same items to schill to the public. This lawsuit is dumb (regardless of the minutiae). But it highlights how much of the algorithm builds these people's "brands".
