    Hi Ed, that is exactly the same I am feeling too and have uploaded a lot less video's because of all the PC nonsense what is going. CZcams is slowly going backwards to the nanny state and anything a bit naughty gets restricted. Thanks for the slow running generator audio. Love that sound. Merry Christmas mate. Take care.

    Of course you’ll hurt me.

    But this is the very condition of existence.

    To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

      Direct payment via Paypal does work, just very decentralised and you have to do your own management of people. but no extra cut of the income, as most doing so via Patreon are using Paypal anyway to pay. Video probably will have to either use torrent or Vimeo, and set up a site somewhere ( Wordpress probably, either hosted yourself in a location or off WP themselves, or Blogspot) to do the release info and RSS and such.

    Sadly Aussie50, Ed took his own life on May 28, 2019.
    I went through the EEVBlog forums regarding his death. Also watched several of his most recent videos to try to uncover any kind of warning signs of depression, etc. There definitely was, but sadly no one was able to interpret them or there to help Ed get past these hard thoughts.
    I even found a Facebook post of his from May 27, 2019, the day before his suicide. It was a picture of some burning electronics and it read
    "The Darkness won't show me the light."
    From what I can gather it is very likely that CZcams and social media fueled Ed's depression and led to take his own life. This is very sad to hear.
    He will be missed.

    To be honest I was always only interested in your machining, electronics, electrical videos,

    Patreon is a shit-show of late, not just due to what sort of content/views they allow.
    Support sucks, website outages, regular payment mess ups, delete first/allow appeal later.
    Still it's your choice on what you want to make, hope things work out.

    Hey Ed, if youtube ever does end up banning you, I have an archive of all of your videos, and it's updated twice a day so that if your channel or a few others go down, there's a place to find them still. It's even on a little site, but doesn't have any streaming capability or anything like that.
    I don't know if your internet is still pretty bad out there, but should things take a bad turn I could set up a virtual machine for you to login to and upload to some other site on a faster connection. Still would take a while, but better than loosing all the years of work you've put into this.

    Have you looked into CZcams alternatives like bitchute?
    I know bitchute doesn't suffer from political correctness bs, and they let you sync your youtube videos up to their platform too..

    I need you to stay. Get as politically incorrect as you can. I don't think they'll bother you if you don't monetize. I may be wrong. Cute dog. Merry Christmas, Sir.
