The details seem to be concentrated in this YouTube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFrVcTmxycg I'm not pursuaded by this argument. Good luck trying to fight against freedo…

Is it feasible to generate comprehensive plagiarism analyses for most or all published works?

YouTube is effectively a Google Podcasts platform already. Paying for YouTube Premium to avoid ads is some of the best money I spend each month. I wish I could do the same for Spot…
