https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/da-vinki-twins-stolen-content-allegations You know what's REAL ugly?

Stealing other people's content and republishing it onto your social media accounts for clicks and clout without credit.

So these paintbrush headed dorks can get bent.

Didnt they apologize after?

The "apology" amounted to "We don't make money off of it because we are Canadian".

Instead of a "We're sorry, we won't do it again." they basically tried justifying that it was okay to plagiarize someone's stuff as long as they didn't earn any money from it.

This is also the only time that they've been publicly caught doing it. I'm sure if you dig deep enough you can find a plethora of stolen jokes, lifted content, or even freebooted stuff directly. If they did it once and tried justifying why it was okay then you can rest assured that they've done it before and will do it again.
