Lewis Spears is a stand-up comedian who also does call-out/reaction style views in a similar tone of H3H3 productions, whilst Ozzymanreviews is a very different channel, giving stereotypical Australian commentary to viral clips. Briefly putting it, that is what their respected channels are based around.
So today, Lewis Spears accused Ozzyman of 'taking content and concepts for cash', which was the name of his latest video.
The issue began when a Spears video was featured on Ozzyman's blog which apparently didn't credit Spears, whilst Ozzyman profited from the page through ad-revenue. However, it should be known that the page did embed the original video, meaning viewers could access the Lewis Spears Youtube channel - albeit this was quite tricky to access.
Nonetheless, Spears wanted credit and asked for this on Twitter, where Ozzyman replied saying Spears was a 'cyber bully' (whether this was genuinely ironic is up for debate - however Spears took it badly). Anyway, as a result, Spears released a video claiming that Ozzyman took his entire image and style from Alex Williamson, who pioneered the 'bogan' commentary style. He also added that Ozzyman's videos were merely talking over viral videos, which you could argue is the entire point.
Either way, it seems the truth is somewhere in the middle. Of course, Spears could have been more openly credited in the original blog post, but his criticism of Ozzyman also seems quite harsh, as his videos probably aren't too original, but then again most ideas are never fully unique. See the Spears video for more information.
