Youtube began pulling videos I made about marijuanna refinement saying they violated community standards. All my videos have now been deleted and I will not be posting any more. Sorry. As far as I know all my activities are legal in Oregon but it violates Youtube policy.
I have no complaints at all anout Youtube or Facebook. It is their site(s) and computers and stuff. I believe them when they say they reviewed the topic and it does not meet their standards so no worries. They even allowed I could appeal the decision which seems overly fair anyway but I thought best just to take down those vids and delete the account. Better safe than sorry and my intentions where to comply with stuff. Odd the first video that triggered this was one of my older and most watched suggestion new policies in place. It's their gig.Whoa! I thought yours were tastefully done. Wonder who/what is driving that?
The good news is that they can't keep you from posting on forums like this one.
Facebook removed Graywolf, after ostensibly one of my detractors complained it wasn't a real person's name. Have you pissed anyone off lately??
It is not just weed vids. This year they implemented sticter policies about monetizing too which I did not do. The problem is that advertisers saw eir ads pop up on sites they considere immoral, like Nazi propoganda sites and such. Advertisers started pulling their $$$ because of this sort of thing. I even read that some gun videos demonstrating lawful and safe techniques that have been up for years also got deleted and accounts put in limbo or turned off after this last gun shooting at a school. Apparently one modification done to the shooters weapon to the gun stock was picked up on by the media so any video demonstrating this mod (which is for show and actually reduces gun accuracy) was summarily delete by youtube.seems like youtube has been cracking down on random weed vids lately from what im reading

They have taken big hits by advertisers and my hunch is that their entire spectrum of offerings shrank because of this. Anything guns, drugs, child exploitation, or anything else that an online advertiser might walk away from. Their changes this year are in response to a steep drop off in revenue from ads. It is odd that they would target the refinement process and old videos too, at least at first. Before the first got deleted it had a couple thousand views and had been up a year.
I never click through youtube ads anyway nor allowed them on my stuff so youtube isnt missing anything with me gone. I liked sharing data because I,live alone and it helps to have something to share online to chat about, but it is not all that important to me. Youtube for me has only rarely been entertaining on its own - the one exception was a guy filming himself pissing on an elevtric cattle fence lolz. I cried laughing over that one. Most vids though are pretty much the same stuff done over and over and pretty light of data and such.
Venmo is mich less restictive and don't seem to care about adding your own music to stuff either without copyright notices and stuff. If I wanted to put up more vids I would do it there but probably wont fiddle with vids much anymore. I end up arranging things so the ipad camera can see stuff and it kind of gets in the way. I still have a LOT to learn and new projects coming online and need to focus really on solving the problems instead of documenting so much. Given the thousands of views from the vids that are now down the information is out there now anyway and some have even written me the info was useful so the ideas have been passed along and I think that is good. The info just gets stale when left up would be the bright side to this.
