I second that! It was the same problem with another video last week

I can't watch the video - it show's "restricted access" error. Is it still up or did you take it down Ronald?

Roman Pekar

A YouTuber who actively monitors his community and picks up on that? Well done Ronald! It is an interesting topic after all
