RE: Marsden Rock and Marsden Bay is a Smugglers haunt
I'll study your YT channel a bit later (looks interesting). One question: Doesn't YouTube give you a hard time with the music? It's the reason I could never warm up to it. I use royalty free stuff (SonicFire et al) which I paid a ton of money for and YouTube kept nagging me, how I "can't monetize", "composer will monetize", "not allowed in your country", etc., etc. It was so bad, I deleted my account and quit publishing videos altogether. (Vimeo was no alternative at the time.)
In addition, they seem to censor political videos quite heavily, similar to Facebook. It's how I came to Steemit in the first place; free speech and all that.
What is your experience with this issue on YouTube?
Yr right about the music thing...I often get away with it my mixing it with wave noises...or in the case of dance festivals... mixing in crowd noises to mask it... but sometimes they still detect it... months later, and you get a warning notice.
Bloody stupid when you are at an outdoor concert and people are dancing to music...thats why I looked at Dtube...but it has a long way to go for delivery
Youtube is a nightmare...for years I got away with 'masking' music by overlaying it with crowd white noise, or wave sounds. Now even a 50/50 split I get a warning notice...Particularly annoying when at say a dance festival and I vid some one dancing to a track, despite a live performance..poor sound and crowd chatter youtube still sends a warning notice. Even so called royalty free stuff is sometimes flagged up. Found facebook particularly annoying...for example a friend send a meme showing the London Mayor and a convicted m uslim terrorist are cousins has been blocked, despite a google search showing the UK Daily Express carried the story a year ago
Repeat after me: V-I-M-E-O. No problems so far. DTube is slowly coming along, like a light at the end of the tunnel. However, in addition to the still existing technical problems, DTube takes a portion of your proceeds, so it's not free.
