there's no more original thoughts Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

Ben's starting to feel like there's been no new ideas in over a decade... With Olivia Rodrigo having to pay royalties to other artists for her original songs being too similar to creators copying Mr. Beast thumbnails verbatim, to every movie being made being a sequel to a sequel, Ben is OVER IT. Join Ben as he breaks down the difference between using other artists for inspiration versus blatantly stealing from them and his own experiences with having original content copied.
