Hot TikTok is angry when famous brands "borrowed" ideas

Borrowing and plagiarizing ideas has always been considered as old as the Earth but always painful.

As applications on social networks become more and more widely used, like TikTok, this problem occurs as often as usual.

TikTok is increasingly being promoted and invested enthusiastically by young social media. Many people quickly become hot Tiktokers with millions of followers with unique content, going into people's hearts.

But also from here, many noisy cases related to TikTokers copying ideas and borrowing content appeared, causing netizens to argue. The incident of a girl named DH and a TikTok channel of a brand named M. (referred to as M. channel for short) is an example.

Accordingly, on the evening of August 6, DH posted a clip expressing her frustration when "his brainchild was stolen and blatantly plagiarized". She thinks that a video on channel M. about the history class in 2050, presenting the socio-economic situation in Vietnam during the Covid-19 period (2020 - 2021) is 98.9% similar to her video, but not at all. Video recording where ideas come from.

DH also added that although her channel is very small (about 40k followers) compared to M. channel (about 250k followers) but it is still her idea. In addition, teaching also needs time to think, come up with ideas and then implement but are innocently used by others. Therefore, she was very angry and resentful, feeling the need to condemn "stealing ideas, stealing brains".

Not stopping there, below the clip of DH, netizens were divided into two fiercely arguing factions. Many people support DH and claim her clip has been plagiarized:

- I see so many people defending plagiarism? Trend and scripting are two different concepts. A product you create, spend time and effort, and then get taken, who will?

- I don't understand why you guys think it's obvious to take content and say it's better? The gray matter they spend.

- Taking other people's ideas to make money is not acceptable.

- Creative content must be applauded! After all, people are copying, but people accept it?

However, the other half think that this is normal, especially in an environment where new trends often appear like TikTok:

- I think it's normal. Besides, the female friends in the new clip are also more creative, not like 98.9% like you said.

- If it looks good, people will do it again, if you don't like it, play it alone.

- This is your TikTok. It follows the trend, it's normal to surf 10 times like 1, the problem is who does it better.

I see you're overdoing it. Many TikTokers come up with trending dances, so what's wrong with everyone dancing from there?

- If you create a good trend, people will like it, then people will learn to follow the trend. Does it have to be that hard?

It is known that the person who made the above-mentioned "plagiarism" video is HN, also famous on TikTok with 710k followers.

After DH posted a clip of "unmasking", channel M. immediately removed the clip and HN spoke up and apologized. She said that she was filmed by M. book channel, with the script and content prepared by M. channel. In addition, she also confided that many of her clips were also used but ignored, but did not pay much attention.

Not long ago, when surfing Tiktok no matter what, people would come across clips showing off money, showing off their house, showing off their car... with the caption telling about the successful online business process.

Such as:

"When I was 18 years old, I broke more than 3 billion VND from my parents. Borrowed for business, with my efforts, now I have it all! 30-50 million months is enough to drink ginger tea",

Or:

"I used to eat instant noodles for a whole month in a student hostel. After 1 year of business, I have everything. System of 200 members, income 80 million/month",

Or:

"Starting a business without money, borrowed for business. Now I have it all! 30-50 million is enough to drink iced tea."

The above are just 3 of the countless statuses coming from a series of different accounts, but the content and expression are the same.
