Now go watch hbomberguy’s video about plagiarism to be aware of how much of this Internet Historians video is stolen.
Cool, looks like a lot of video to watch, I’ll take your word for it. Not too surprising thinking about it.
Maybe not surprising, but still disappointing. I liked IH videos, but knowing that a lot of it is stolen, puts a stain on it. But at least it explains why his videos tend to disappear from his channel.
Edit: The IH part starts at around 1:25:00 and lasts 20 minutes.
guy covers historical event doesn’t rewrite history, instead takes what someone else has written about event doesn’t use own fotos, uses someone elses foto instead makes mistakes
I am not saying this is a big nothing burger, but his only real mistakes was not to list his sources.
The one thing about that which I find worth defending, is how much his video made the story entertaining. I wouldn’t have read the article but his video kept me engaged . Even if the writing was copied, he still added a lot to it.
That’s the most baffling thing. His video was transformative. Had he just credited the writing he’d probably be fine but he just decided not to, for some reason.
