YouToube censors videos with German RC tank models

[Kaczor]

In the case of xhelfix (the author of the amazing diorama), he made his German tank videos private after several of them were blocked.

I only have a few German tank vids on my channel, but I guess I won't post any more of them. It's funny because places like the Bovington Tank Museum have tons of German tank vids of real tanks still on their channel. As many have said, "Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it."

Maybe it's time to move to a different platform like Rumble.

The thing is that AI does not attack channels with millions of subscribers, only small creators.

Holy smokes! They just removed the short video of my Tiger backing up a ramp. I have many Tiger videos and this is the one they removed?! I guess they’re all going to be on the chopping block. Makes me hate YouTube.

Let’s see if they cancel this video.

Here’s my reply to their email I received from them:

You gotta be kidding me!!!! A toy remote control tank backing up a plywood ramp is offensive. Your attitude sucks and I would be proud if you pulled every YouTube video I’ve ever posted. Kiss my butt (I didn’t say butt)you left wing wimps.

I'm suprised that bumpstock video of yours hasn't been whacked - youtube purged any depiction or discussion of them on the shooting channels a while back.

Exactly. They don’t have their fecal matter wrapped very tight. I need to find a different video sharing site or just quit messing with posting stuff. For crying out loud. Everyone is so easily offended nowadays.

I've been looking into this - still don't believe this is a "Youtube has come for your model tanks" issue.

Aircraft modellers also report being hit.

Panzer Insight was forced to delete one of his channels (his other channel was untouched, with pretty much the same content?!) for flagged videos of real German tanks - and yet other channels have the same content, right down to video's of the exact same artifact?

For a real shocker, Armoured Archives had his entire google drive nuked because he was keeping all of his research there.

About 6 months ago, this went down on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewTubers/comm ... _and_scam/ I kind of wonder if something similar has gone wrong here?

Also I noticed in their rules:
"We may allow content that includes hate speech if that content includes additional educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context" - Modelling is a form of art, therefore we should be good, right?

Waiting to see if those "Damn Liberal Bots" take down my IDF Bulldozer...
