Hello,

A lot of the youtube channels which produce quality videos on explosive testing and research (such as LL's channel and Dornier335A's channel, and much more) have deleted or will delete their videos.

Does anyone know what is going on? Is there a way we can preserve these videos? I wonder if it is for liability reasons...

In great sadness I write this post...MineMan

ficolas - 8-8-2016 at 09:13

Youtube just started a war against EM, even nile red got a video about hexamine removed. Extractions&ire made a video explaining it.

I'm trying to prevent problems. Therefore, using an age limit and warning table. Typically before video, sometimes also at the end. If will be difficulties, is necessary transition to VIMEO.
It is important to realize the this. YouTube is Not my or your or our virtual space. It is space free, but with self conditions. It is free. Gigabytes your videos are free for all the world. Change of conditions? Well. It is the life. Nothing tragedy. Tragedy is live in China or Mogadishu..... :cool:

Ok... I am currently doing research on a detonator similar to LL's Berta and both of your video channels are instrumental...

Dornier and LL, your videos are top notch, a lot of them are better than research papers I am reading...

LL not too familiar with VIMEO... but hopefully that will work, there is also great information in the comments too of your videos...

Laboratory of Liptakov - 8-8-2016 at 12:23

Well, thanks, Berta system, thus relatively safety detonator from various EM inside, is my main develop, examination. Because highest fear is manipulation with primary explosives. For everybody. For everybody Homo Sapiens - sapiens. And for monkey also. Well, Dornier is maybe best chemist on amateur field.

Yep.I lost my whole Energy Unleashed channel to this crackdown. Some of the older videos I didn't back up. I guess there is a change in management at YouTube and they are shutting down channels like mine and many others. I may move to Vimeo since making videos was kind of fun and I really enjoyed it. It is a shame that they deleted our stuff or forced us to make videos private. I had a whole lot of ideas for the future and a couple of videos nearly ready to upload. Oh well. What can you do? Funnily enough though they censor our stuff yet you can still watch a video on a complete meth synthesis. What the hell?

I honestly believe that Thompson's video should have been removed from the beginning. A majority of those in the comments seem to have no chemistry background, yet they seem ecstatic to attempt the synthesis. I'm bit of an amateur myself when it comes to certain subjects, but I know the necessary precautions to take when it come to synthesizing NI₃.

I might even report his video right now.

MrHomeScientist - 9-8-2016 at 07:40

My guess: he's a prominent YouTube personality and removal of his videos could lead to some serious backlash and bad PR. They can get away with culling the less popular channels. Just speculation, of course.

It isn't really speculation—big YouTuber's have been proven to be personally protected by YouTube itself in situations such as these. I just really don't like it.

MineMan - 9-8-2016 at 10:27

Well, all who make EM videos and who participate in this forum, I really hope you are able to preserve and post your videos elsewhere.

I worked in the professional blasting (rock blasting) industry and I can say that your videos demonstrate a understanding in chemistry, detonation physics and general understanding of explosives that a lot of engineers I worked with did not have.

Yesterday, I reported that, his videos on Armstrong's mixture, and a couple of Royal Institution videos that tell how to make explosives - they're all still up.

Conspiracy confirmed.

What does YouTube gain by taking down these less popular videos, while keeping the more popular (and more dangerous) videos? They keep the more popular videos for ad revenue and to prevent public outcry, as has been said, but why bother with the less popular ones at all? Obviously they don't actually care about the safety of their viewers or the dissemination of this information.

Tdep - 10-8-2016 at 05:30

Good question zwt, and to go further, why do they suddenly care now? Nothing has changed in writing in terms of their guidelines with respect to chemistry/EM, so why now are they enforcing this '''dangerous behavior guideline breech''' now?

There have been terrorist attacks for over a decade (before that too i'm sure, but you know what I mean) so surely it's not that that they're caving in to? It's strange, unexplained and absolute crap.

This would have to be a good-size group of people devoting significant time to systematically flag so many disparate videos. Is there any evidence of a publicly-coordinated attack on YouTube science? This seems more like the kind of work someone would have to be paid to do, the question is: Who's paying? Why?

j_sum1 - 10-8-2016 at 14:45

I have little interest in EM and so am not directly affected here. But what bugs me is the sudden and arbitrary nature of it all. The system is full of inconsistencies when those things that are truly stupid or truly dangerous abound on YT and are even encouraged. But those who are systematically exploring and sharing the science are sanctioned simply because a search-bot can spell "bang".

All it takes is for someone to take a similar stance on another branch of chemistry and great swathes of excellent educational material disappears. NileRed has already had one strike. Suppose hydrazine gets tagged and he gets two more. the whole channel is deleted. And many like it. (Ok there aren't many as good as NileRed. And that is kind of the point -- it is the good stuff that gets targeted and the dumb stuff is allowed to proliferate.)

And for the YT heavyweights like King of Random to get preferential treatment is just hypocritical.

cryomancer - 14-8-2016 at 09:15

One fix to the problem of loosing all that valuable knowledge is to make a section on science madness where we can store the videos so that members can watch them. We have a library for scientific literature why not have a library for videos, maybe get some of the youtubers like Nile Red, Explosionpedia, and other youtubers to mabye join the fourm and place their videos there where they will be safe(or at least safer

zwt - 14-8-2016 at 09:25

Quote: Originally posted by cryomancer

Possibly because a picture's worth a thousand words, and a YouTube video has at least 24 pictures (frames) per second plus audio. Which is to say, they take up a lot more storage space than text does. Though it's possible I don't know what I'm talking about and I definitely don't know where and how exactly information on the forum is stored.

MineMan - 14-8-2016 at 11:41

Good idea, what do the admins think??

Velzee - 14-8-2016 at 18:37

Storage would definitely be an issue when it comes to saving videos. I assume the admins would probably have to place ads(I think though the software they use might not be compatible—and most of us use some form of AdBlock anyway) or some form of fee/subscription which in the end might not even be feasible or worth it. And then there's the issue of copyright...which is a huge blow to the odds of the idea working successfully, making them very slim.

NeonPulse - 15-8-2016 at 16:39

Along with other people,I have twice now flagged the TKOR video he has on nitrogen triiodide as a little test and it still remains. It is totally bullshit how YT can remove so many other
Videos yet keep this one. He clearly instructs viewers how to make it and use it. I think it is in breach if their community guidelines but they still have it up. I guess that well known established you tubers are above the rules.....

NedsHead - 15-8-2016 at 16:55

Another good little test would be for a YouTuber to replicate TKOR's nitrogen triiodide video, word for word, even using similar camera angles and see how long it remains on their channel. I'm betting not very long

zwt - 15-8-2016 at 17:23

Quote: Originally posted by NedsHead

I had the same idea, but hesitated to suggest it ’cause I'm not a "YouTuber". Seems like a lot of work to make a video just for it to get taken down (obviously save a copy somewhere else, and some screenshots or screencaps of the video while it's on YouTube), but black-and-white proof like this might be enough to interest mainstream media. Worth a shot to protect the remaining chemistry videos on YouTube.

Incidentally, a video posted the other day (on YouTube and here) not unlike Thompson's videos on Armstrong's mix is still up as of now.

PHILOU Zrealone - 16-8-2016 at 04:24

Maybe an idea would be to put videos on YouTube without explicite title or text below (or only very complex misleading (al)chemical name or unusual accronym)and only set the explicit text here into this forum with links to there...
--> so YouTube will not be able to use bots to tag videos and the video will not be findable by searching Tools or by external SMF users.
--> Science Madness Forum will not be impacted by the size and weight of the videos because decentralized.

Another idea is that each video poster use a personal decentralized and tolerant blog for its videos so YouTube has no ruling on it...only you has a word to say.

The WAR

Laboratory of Liptakov - 16-8-2016 at 05:49

Very good advice from Philou. It is good in the settings for each video indicate nothing. Next thing is not use youtube editor. The text from editor ( in video) , it can read (search) even Google. It is necessary to upload your own video as a whole. But the same applies to comments under the video. War against robots started. Hmm.. I seems, that Sarah O´Connor will be near... :cool:

I like the idea in principle, but the only problem is that YouTube could deflect any accusations of favoritism by saying that they took it down because it plagiarized Thompson's video.

zwt - 16-8-2016 at 08:39

Exactly. If they take down the video because of "Fire", then try to claim copyright infringement, it will expose their flaws and hypocrisy. Basically, we're counting on their automation and stupidity. Using different music, a different voice, and all-original footage (no copying directly from TKOR's videos) should be enough to fool the copyright-bots. It will be tricky to make it both similar and different enough, so a veteran YouTuber may need to volunteer, and Tdep probably shouldn't do it (since he already has a video ranting about this problem).

YouTube deletes my video on making black powder

Gooferking Science - 16-8-2016 at 14:59

I was very frustrated when I received an email from YouTube during my vacation. It told me that my video on making gunpowder/black powder had been deleted and a strike was placed against my account because the video "violated the community guidelines". In this video I simply demonstrated how I make black powder with my homemade ball mill. I then performed two burn tests, and finished up by showing a firecracker made with the powder. I did not show how I made the firecracker! YouTube's guidelines do not allow users to post videos on "bomb-making" (such a nebulous definition of a wide topic range). I am angry because I did not make a "bomb" (again such a nebulous word for this subject). I made a small firecracker that was similar in power to commercially available firecrackers. As stated earlier, I did not show how I made the firecracker. My video did not violate the guidelines. I appealed to YouTube and told them that. I also told them that black powder is easily available in sporting goods stores for muzzle-loading firearms. It is not as if I was giving a tutorial on producing some actual explosive like TATP, EGDN, or the like. YouTube rejected my appeal. Ironically, they have not touched my video that demonstrates the properties of MEKP, which is a real explosive. In that video I did not show how I made the MEKP, but with their logic they should take that one down as well.

I have noticed that other videos on pyrotechnics and explosives are being taken down as well. For example, a very interesting channel named "Explosiopedia" was completely taken down a couple weeks ago. This was about the same time my video was deleted. Explosiopedia also did not show how to make the explosives used in his videos. All he did was demonstrate their properties. YouTube is taking these videos down under the guise of "preventing terrorism". I think that terrorism should be prevented whenever possible, but is YouTube/Google really so naive as to think that censoring amateur chemistry videos like mine will stop terrorism? The wikipedia page on black powder still exists. Unless they censor the information in all places it appears on the internet their efforts are pointless... Maybe I am being a bit overreactive. I am just freaked out that a giant organization like Google is starting to censor informative videos from the public. Where does it end? Anyone else have any thoughts on this matter?

j_sum1 - 16-8-2016 at 17:25

One thing to remember in all of this is that Youtube is free to use.

If something is free, that means that the user is the product. In terms of economics, the customer is the advertisers and they are selling you as the product.

This means that there is no incentive for them to be reasonable, fair, equitable or even respond to complaints - unless those complaints come from paying advertisers. It also means that a high-volume channel like TKOR is a valuable commodity to YouTube and worth protecting. Whereas Joe-average-backyard-chemist is essentially worthless.
For the sake of YT's marketing it has to be seen to be taking a stand against "terrorism" and other disapproved activities. But again, this is economics. It has nothing to do with any actual threat.

For the sake of comparison, take a look at the Bad Chem Videos thread and some of the videos linked. See also the similar videos list that comes up when you watch. I am thinking particularly of some TATP vids. There is stuff there that is truly dangerous and worrying. There is stuff that is far more prescriptive on how to make explosions and drugs than any of the chemistry-related videos that members here post.

As for the "fire" criterion -- that is just YouTube's way of giving themselves a license to do what they want. They will remove a Bunsen burner if it suits them. They won't remove Grant-Thompson's fireworks in the street or some idiot accidentally setting light to a deck chair by mixing pool chlorine and brake fluid. In other words, Jackass stays. Commercial and popular stays. Science goes -- unless of course it is a highly-polished piece of video editing with company logos, white lab coats, professional-looking labs, product endorsements and a billion views per month.

Velzee - 16-8-2016 at 20:34

If we could somehow allow to SM Wiki to host these videos, all would be great. Here's some ideas to fund for the storage needed:

•Place small add banners on both SM and the SM Wiki(again, I'm not sure if the software's compatible, and there's AdBlock)
•Allow for donations to be made to the site owner(s)
•Perhaps allow for a small one-time fee to remove the ads
•Perhaps add a new sub forum, similar to Prepublications, containing higher quality write-ups and labs that require a small monthly fee(maybe combined with removing ads?)

Hmm. That's all I can think of, for now.

Fair Use is a copyright thing. None of the videos mentioned in this thread have been taken down because of copyright claims. Fair Use will not stop YouTube from taking down videos because of "fire", though this does mean they're less likely to take down a word-for-word parody of a popular video.

Since this is the EM section, some years ago there was a site called "Pyro-Tube". Unfortunately it only had a very low resolution and disapperad after some time.

Also Pyrobin comes to my mind, but its awful to use.

Why is this so complicated with todays technology to just share a few videos...

Besides:
Those of you who still maintain their YT channels, do you use some kind of VPN or something to disguise your identity?

No, and I regularly get in front of the camera... Will it come back to ruin my life eventually? Possibly. Oh well

Depending on your chosen field it could work either way. Politician / government job - bad news. Creative field / tech / academia - might work in your favour. Most of the reason we decided to be strongly anonymous was just that we couldn't see into the future and so had to assume the worst, especially in relation to attitudes towards anything energetic. Sadly it looks as though bureaucrats and mass-media (of which YT is now becoming a part) are leading the population further down the path of 'science is witchcraft', and it's going to get much worse.

Lots of 'dangerous' videos on YouTube.

There were over 12,000 poison control calls for people eating laundry pods last year. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/01/16/there...

I'm real nervous. We don't use chemicals at all in our house.

What follows from Dad is even worse.

And that level of ignorance is where the problem starts. (Even if the video is a spoof.)
