I am leaving this terrible platform!
I will not delete my account but I will uninstall X from all my devices & will never log back in.
If you want to still follow me somewhere else you know where to find me. The clue is in my name.
2016-2025, almost 10 years, that's a good run.

The real question is, who is going to be the first established historytuber to lose it?
I'd say @HistoriaCivilis. Mainly because he's the one you would least suspect, and it's always the ones you would least suspect. tan, Tan, TAN!

Remember me saying in the Aztec video that human sacrifices based on religion happened everywhere in the world at some point. Well, just like in Norse paganism it is pretty certain that Slavic paganism also had some form of human sacrifices.

English is the language of my videos, latin is the script I use, hence, I think it's fair I use the anglicized or latinized names & pronounciations. Yet, I get so many smooth brain people yelling at me for daring to "misspronounce" 'stele', 'delos', or 'Cicero'.

Avars were the first to bring the word Khagan to Europe, the first to bring stirrups to Europe (which may have kickstarted the feudal age), the first to besiege Constantinople after the fall of Rome, & yet they often get ignored being sandwiched between the Huns and the Magyars.

I see too many new historytubers priorities animation, editing, & narration over research. IT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND!

I am getting sick of poorly researched videos that are nicely animated and get like 20 times more views than mine.
I also feel like there has been a surge of channels like these in recent years. Which goes to show that a lot of people either don't care or more likely don't know.

The fact that I have to pay over $500 for videos that have been literally (and I am not kidding here) shot over 100 years ago is the most ridicules thing. Call me crazy but if something is older than any human currently alive maybe, just maybe, it should be in the public domain.

90% of "Slavic studies" in the west is literally just Russian studies and it's really annoying because this way, even though unintentionally, the west propagates the whole everything that is Slavic is Russian narrative that plays strait into the hands of Russian propaganda.

Americans with Slovak heritage are always so quick to point it out to me and act like "we're the same, you and I". Really!? You don't speak Slovak, you didn't grow up in the country or have any knowledge about its politics, people, nature, even culture. We are not the same.

This is 85% Orban's fault but I had an argument with a Hungarian a couple of weeks back & some of them are stuck in their own worlds. Refusing to admit the people in charge are at fault rather blaming some distant entity (WEST/EU) without being able to point to anything specific.

Yes just like Africans didn't sell other Africans to Slavery or how some Indians didn't help British conquer & control India. I think this person just realized that his, perhaps idealized, perceived ethnic identity doesn't trump greed & he doesn't like it nor can comprehend it.

One of the first mentions of the Slavs in writing, by Procopius, talks of a peoples who, although similar in 'culture' & 'barbarous tongue', show no major affinity for each other & are just as likely to fight each other as other people. Nice to see we're keeping up the tradition.

It's funny to see Lutherans fight for religious recognition against the Catholics only for them to later be angry at the offshoots of their own religion like calvinists and such.

The Nazis "biologically" defined their superior race/ethnicity only to go to Czechia & realize that all their "biologically" superior traits are more pronounced on the "inferior" Czechs than the Sudeten Germans. It's as if ethnicity & race are a social construct & not biological.

People clearly just want to live in a distopian cyberpunk world with no one trained in humanities.
People don't think in numbers and act according to mathematical logic. Shunning humanities is literally just ignoring this fact. Ignore humanities at your own peril.
Schools in the UNC system will no longer award distinguished professorships to faculty in the humanities.
The UNC Board of Governors says the honors "will now only be given in STEM-related (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields."
