TIKhistory | The channel "Historiou" has plagiarised MY video (and others too) @TheImperatorKnight | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
The channel "Historiou" is plagiarising other people's content, including my own. My original Order No. 227 video was published on the 2nd of July 2018 youtu.be/JOKAIDpOY80 and Historiou’s Order No. 227 video was published on the 11th of June 2023 youtu.be/zyjLuuL8Qyw (EDIT: he has now removed it)
Historiou's channel youtube.com/@historiou
His video has the exact same script as my video, word-for-word, only in Portuguese. He hasn't cited any sources and hasn't credited me for the script. Worse, he's not just plagiarising me, but he's plagiarising other history content creators too like Arnchair Historian, Eastory, and the World War Two channel. Historiou is deceiving his 155,000 subscribers into thinking he's created this content himself, is being praised for "his" work, and is asking people to donate money to him.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
