Added 2024-03-27 20:57:16 +0000 UTCIt was time again to expand my horizons and head out into the wide world. Winter had arrived and the cold and wet weather was not at all inviting to make a big trip in Europe. Therefore, I decided to return to North Africa. This time not Morocco, but Tunisia. As in Morocco, there is a lot of phosphate in the Tunisian soil, and that means a lot of bulk transport, so also a lot of freight trains.
I messaged Rico about my plans and he was enthusiast about it. So after a week of planning, we left for Tunis, the capital, to travel from there to Sfax, where we began our journey towards Métlaoui.
It was an interesting trip that actually went very well, until things got bad...
As you might have noticed, this is a re-upload. There was a segment I needed to remove. (Where I was climbing on the back of the wagon). YouTube is getting stricter by the day, as advertisers keep making stricter demands. Advertisers don't want promotion of their products in a video where someone is doing something 'dangerous' or 'illegal'. And since YouTube cares mostly about the money, and not its creators, they blindly listen to what the advertisers say. Meanwhile, 6 videos have already been removed from my channel. With Shiey and other similar YouTubers, the damage is even greater. There are creators whose channel has been removed without warning. Let's hope it won't be such a big deal and that I can continue making the content I am making now. You guys should not worry though, because the unfiltered full videos will always appear here!
Thanks for the support!

Was not fast enough to watch this offering before pulled by YOUTUBE. I am greatly disappointed since I was so interested to view this journey in Tunisia. Sad to say, money drives everything & YOUTUBE is all too willing to sacrifice creators like you to the dictates of advertising sponsors pretending to be virtuous & community minded. Corporate profit & greed IS NOT virtuous - it only hinders individual expression.

2024-03-28 17:52:43 +0000 UTCany chance these could get uploaded somewhere less restrictive for the patreon members?

2024-03-28 03:58:56 +0000 UTCIt was interesting to see a bit of Tunisia, but that train journey with all the dust looked pretty uncomfortable. These guys need to be careful on these trips incase they bump into some real bad people and they might not be so lucky. Look forward to the next one.

2024-03-27 21:04:08 +0000 UTCDamn man was just thinking about you earlier, glad to hear you guys are all good. As for YouTube and shit goes, I’m not sure if you’ve looked into Vimeo but it might be another option to upload videos onto patreon unfiltered
Swole
2024-03-27 21:01:16 +0000 UTCAre you considering alternate places to upload? I love your work immensely. Your editing just goes through leaps of improvement every video, and your story telling skills are among the best. I'd hate to see the loss of your channel and videos more than anything.
Inactive - will not be deleting.
