00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 252 in the afternoon. I almost said AM.
00:00:09.980 Wednesday, September the 23rd. I hope you're having a great day today. I have had an excellent
00:00:15.280 day for the most part. Just got back from a couple hours with my wife. We were out. Fantastic
00:00:21.900 time. But I'm a little bit frustrated today. Now, this is not going to be a long video. I do not
00:00:29.720 want this to turn into a personal bitch session of John Bolton. I would not put you through that, 0.96
00:00:36.020 but I think there's an opportunity here, maybe a learning opportunity. And I think there's a way
00:00:40.660 that you can help. You have a part in this. Okay. So just before I get to the thing that's
00:00:47.540 frustrating me, let me tell you something here. A lot of people come up to me. I meet them.
00:00:53.280 They say, John, thank you very much for putting up your video so early in the morning. We're
00:00:58.680 early risers as well. We like that there's some content there for us. We watch you first. And I
00:01:04.760 appreciate that very much. Very often I get my videos up and I try to post them between 4
00:01:10.240 and 5.30 in the morning. That's generally my window. I try to aim for that.
00:01:16.460 But here's the learning opportunity. And this is something that you may not know about.
00:01:21.040 You may never put videos on YouTube. You don't know what it's like, but this is
00:01:25.140 my YouTube channel. Here's a video I uploaded on YouTube. Okay. So this is my YouTube studio.
00:01:32.700 Up here, you can see video details. It's got the title, kind of a variation on a theme from a video
00:01:37.880 I did yesterday called volume two. Over here is the thumbnail I created for it. I uploaded this.
00:01:43.500 This is what you see on the screen when you're on YouTube. And down here, we've got the description
00:01:48.020 and over here, it says notices checking. And this is what I want to talk to you about.
00:01:53.120 Okay, so what does checking mean?
00:01:55.700 Well, if you click on this little box right here, it says checks are still running on this video.
00:02:00.540 Results should be ready soon.
00:02:04.040 Any notices will be shown here as soon as they are found.
00:02:08.120 Well, I hope so.
00:02:09.440 But what is it checking?
00:02:10.360 It's checking for things like inappropriate material, copyrighted material in particular,
00:02:15.460 things that might not be appropriate for kids.
00:02:18.940 And if it's any of those things, YouTube will let you know.
00:02:22.040 And generally, when you put a video up, like this video you're seeing on the screen here,
00:02:25.880 it might take 15 or 20 minutes on average.
00:02:29.800 It doesn't take very long.
00:02:32.340 Now, what's my frustration?
00:02:34.740 Well, this video that is being checked right now was put up at around 4.30, 5 o'clock this morning.
00:02:43.580 What did I say it was?
00:02:44.660 It's going on 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
00:02:46.240 This is going on 10 hours, and YouTube is still checking it.
00:02:49.200 As a matter of fact, I put up here, sorry for the late post,
00:02:52.040 YouTube held this up for, this was three hours ago, 10 hours checking for copyright. It's only
00:02:59.880 a 14 minute video. So why is this happening? Good question. Now I may not be a hundred percent
00:03:06.680 right here. This just might be a glitch, but I've noticed recently this is happening a lot more
00:03:11.260 in it. And it happens when you talk about specific things and not even nasty things.
00:03:18.000 When you're voicing your own opinion, you may say a word.
00:03:21.120 You may be criticizing somebody, and I think this is happening more often because of censorship
00:03:27.240 rules from the government.
00:03:29.700 I think YouTube has got the word to not only censor bad words and inappropriate content
00:03:35.200 for kids and copyrighted material, but wrong think.
00:03:40.180 I think that's happening more often.
00:03:41.660 What was this video about?
00:03:43.360 I'm not even going to say it because I don't want the video I'm producing now, which
00:03:47.060 will likely go up before the other video I just showed you that's been caught in the YouTube
00:03:51.320 limbo for 10 hours. I don't want this to get held up being checked for 10 hours by YouTube.
00:03:58.040 But here is what I put in the thumbnail. Could my video be held up because of the word you see in
00:04:08.720 the top right-hand corner, which is used in my video? A lot of people who are content creators
00:04:13.540 avoid saying words like this. I don't. Could it be because of the person you see on the far right
00:04:19.540 of the screen? Or could my video be held in YouTube limbo, causing this frustration,
00:04:26.440 holding me up to put my content online because of the person you see in the middle of this
00:04:31.660 thumbnail on the screen right here? I don't know that that's the case, but it could be. And again,
00:04:39.220 it's generally with the subject matter of the video I put up this morning where it gets held
00:04:44.140 up for so long being checked by YouTube. This is crazy. More than 10 hours at this point or going
00:04:51.300 on 10 hours. So how can you help? Well, here's how you can help. And I'm not just doing this for
00:04:57.180 myself. All right. There are other content creators you watch on any different social
00:05:03.800 media platform. I just happen to be on YouTube. If you watch people on YouTube regularly and you
00:05:09.960 like them, like their videos, give it a thumbs up. It helps because more people will see the content
00:05:19.360 that you and I believe in. It'll be less likely that YouTube will censor that information,
00:05:26.180 which I think is happening more on YouTube. You may not see your favorite content creators coming
00:05:30.760 up because they don't want you to see that type of content. So when you're asked to give it a like,
00:05:37.180 a thumbs up, do it if you like the content. And of course, you can always subscribe to the channel
00:05:44.540 like you could subscribe here. I'm not saying you have to, but that is rather important.
00:05:50.560 You know, you watch a lot of YouTube channels and if you do, many people say
00:05:54.720 70% of the people who watch me on a regular basis, don't click subscribe. If you're watching
00:06:02.560 somebody like Derek, unacceptable fringe, or you're watching bird or proud dad, or you're
00:06:07.440 watching John talking with Albertans, or you're watching moose on the loose, it means something
00:06:12.640 to like their videos and subscribe. Okay. So make sure you do that. I don't know whether you're
00:06:19.240 going to even see the video I uploaded 10 hours ago. And it may never see the light of day. And I
00:06:25.560 mean that in this way, it was dark when I put it up. It may be dark when it actually gets on my
00:06:31.460 YouTube channel. It's been held up so long. Sorry for this little bitch session and telling you about
00:06:37.780 my frustration, but I think it's important that we stick together. You're supporting my channel
00:06:43.680 and I appreciate that, but we're all in this together when it comes to the government that
00:06:48.280 we've got, the policy of that government, the people that run the government, and our thoughts
00:06:54.080 about that government, which I think are now being censored.
