Jalopnik and R&T are kind of partnered. They do this, both ways, pretty regularly.

no this is different. Normally its a direct copy with credit to the writer. This time R&T gave credit to some random website and posted it months later.

Also, the same misleading headline was used. The finished product winds up looking nothing like new.

Hearst publishing and gawker have a pretty cozy relationship but there isn't, to my knowledge, anything official between R&T and Jalopnik other than hosting a few of their more interesting stories from time to time.

What's even funnier is that the YouTube video name is my article title.

Occasionally, writers post Cool Stuff They Found On The Internet .
When they find and how they find said stuff often varies. If I had time to read every article that appeared on the Internet as it was posted, I'd have a whole lot of awesome time on my hands. To me, this looks like an honest reshare (complete with credit given to their source for it) with a title that's sort of similar to Tavarish's.
And it happens. I had a particularly blushworthy experience a while ago where I accidentally titled an article very similarly to Axis of Oversteer 's piece on the same story (and I even cited Axis as a source without noticing the title—d'oh!) and noticed it about a week after the fact. I also got called-out pretty early on that I need to make citations more obvious (i.e. per [blank], via [blank], said [blank] as quoted in [blank]) rather than just linking over key words in articles to the source material. Hey, you learn and get better.
I reshared a video that had been FP'd at least once before a while ago, too, but it hadn't been shared on BF yet, so okay. Whoever posted it in 2006 on /o/ or whatever and is grossly offended by re-seeing anything they've ever seen before on the entire Internet can come at me. If it's interesting content, it's interesting content, and worth bringing up.
Viral videos like this one get passed around so often that they're shared all over, too. I'd love to have my version of Look At This Cool Stuff I Found On The Internet hat-tipped over the others, but when you're one of many posters, that's an extremely difficult (if not impossible) ask. Really, I'd rather have folks link back to my original stuff about Truck Nutz, tacos, LeMons or whatever, anyway.
Oh, and if there's any secret backroom handshake partnership going on with us and anybody, I don't know about it. R&T has a Kinja that links over to their stuff, but that's about it. I've asked those doodz repeatedly to share their stash of incriminating photos of Bernie Ecclestone, but they won't give up the goods.
tl;dr—the Internet is big. Really, really big. And lots of different people like to post cool stuff.
