Vaping with Vic Youtube channel gone
- Thread starter The Cromwell
- Start date
everything, like it was never there ?
What community guidelines? He’s not encouraging people to get into crime or violence or whatever.
I have a bad feeling they’re going to try to make like vaping never existed. And that we as vapers are irrelevant.
We’re going to have to stand tough and hold on, until things turn our way. :vape on:

Why’d they wipe his gmail account? He wasn’t doing anything wrong! :wth:
With the Gmail acct gone too he may have been hacked?
he was in timeout for previous violations of Youtube policy for that one.
I believe both YouTube and Gmail are owned by a company named Google, which is headquartered in... err, lemme think real hard now... Ban Francisco.
He's started uploading vids to BitChute....I'm finding I'm liking that site and hope that more reviewers start uploading there, think it might be that safe haven for videos we've been looking for. I like the site, it's snappy and reminds me of a very young youtube before it went corporate. Jared the Vaping Goat also has vids there too.
just yesterday, i was looking for Purge vids. and guess what, there was a few porn vids on there. so, porn is ok and vape is not ?
what keywords are you using to search ?
thanx sucks. when they find them, i hope they chop their hands off.
But... if they ban porn the whole internet will go into bankruptcy. Look at it this way. Combustible cigarettes don't kill immediately. There's shitloads of illnesses caused by smoking so Big Pharma is making billions from that. So it isn't just about protecting the sale of nicotine patches or stuff like that... those things are just the tip of the iceberg. Small peanuts. And if you die early from smoking, then the gov't doesn't have to keep paying your pension. They know as well as you do that banning vaping will create a black market where there isn't one, and that many people got sick or died from tainted alcohol during Prohibition in 1920-1933. That's just because they aren't stupid so they know full well. What we're seeing right now is the weaponization of public perceptions on vaping by cultivating systemic fear of the unknown. Let's face the facts. The vast majority of people who vote can't even see the difference between smoke and vapor, or else they simply don't care. If it looks like smoke, that's it you're done. Young Bob Marley replying to the cops he was from Trench Town kind of done. As long as the masses keep believing in Black Magic, the witch hunt will go on.
i'm not talking porn. i'm talking porn on youtube. anyway....
all that other stuff = yep, thats what it is.
I know. But why should YouTube ban porn on YouTube, when they already know that it attracts far more viewers who look at ads than Vic could ever attract? Do you believe in coincidence? Am I the only one who noticed that Stanton Glantz, the supreme head of the holy inquisition against vaping, is at a university located in... lemme think real hard again now. Ban Francisco?

That's disappointing to hear. I find it very helpful to watch video's about vaping because I still don't know much other than it keeps me from smoking.

I was going thru some of my You Tube Vape channels and got this when I clicked onto Heaven Gifts

only a matter of time before more and more go ...first it started with de-monitisation, then ban on certain activities (sales stuff) in vids, then giveaways and raffles, then scan for terms in vids, ...they aren’t shy to go back in the catalogue and hand out bans for old content years ago either
Next it’ll be anyone who shows a product, hell even good causes like raising funds for charities
they’ll see it like Cigs in the end ...thing is with these monopoly companies ...they have no real threat of competition so you are entirely dependent on being seen out there using their algorithms which can change like the wind
1 minute you’re top of ranking in searches, next nowhere to be seen.... gone just like that
happened to the forums long before this sadly...

Yea it's pretty much bullshit. And because YT and Google are all tied together to a particular account when logged in, fuck one, fuck 'em all. That's what got Vic, his vaping with vic was a channel but part of like a secondary account or something tied to his main. So he lost access to all accounts headed under that main on YT as well as extending to Google locking him out of docs, sheets, gmail, all of it. He mentioned he finally got back into his gmail account but that's the risk of everything under one roof. Sure it sounds wonderful, one account and it gains you access everywhere instead of 15 different individual accounts. Until they pull some shit like this.
I feel the same about bundled services. Oh can we offer you tv, radio, internet, streaming and phone in one package? Yea, how bout you fuck off with that. In the event there's an issue whether it's my fault, as simple as a late bill on one utility or a network error or billing error or any other number of fuck ups that can and do happen, not trying to lose all my shit in one fell swoop. Nothing good comes from having all the eggs in one basket.
As was pointed out in pai haze's vid/interview, they already use facial recognition for things like copyright enforcement. Is that all they use it for? Doubtful. Oh hey, facial recognition is so wonderful, find similar photos, find your pics around the net or find friends and family. Yea or get royally fucked when you think you'll be clever and create a secondary or dummy account using vids with your face in them. Only to find it's your face that's banned no matter what name's attached. Tech advancement never comes without its penalties.

more and more of those seperate eggs get swallowed up by the global monopolies don’t matter where you put it ...if it’s a solid service eventually a big fish comes along and gobbles up the platform ...links it into their other tech, or retires it to knock it out of competition
way too much power some of these companies yield in the private sector ...attempts to break them up have failed miserably

I agree with you there- very disappointing if You Tube bans Vape videos and reviews.
When I started vaping over 5 years ago, no one I knew vaped, so I turned to You Tube.
Back then it was Indoor Smokers,P Busardo Grimm Green and Tia Vapes that I watched to learn more about vaping and the latest and greatest gear.
These people helped keep me vaping, and off of cigarettes.
I still watch You Tube reviews on how to set up my mod, or what RTA or RDA builds and wicking how to's. Or even new gear I am considering buying.
So much easier for me to watch someone demonstrate these things than describe it in written form.

not to mention folks showing how to put coil builds together ...I’d have struggled with alien and staggered techniques had I not see the earlier builders demonstrate how they did it ...that initial intro was invaluable ...Written techniques once I grasps the basics was helpful though ...tweaks to the approach and what not
And ironically ***** is recreationally legal in some states here. But you’re right, the non smokers or even smokers, are unaware of vaping. The kids getting sick brought it into their awareness, and if it hurt kids, well just prohibit it.
YT has porn? That’s nasty!
The strange thing is YT is messing with some of my friends’ channels that upload old films. Because now YT has a paid service and they’d rather you not watch it free.
But how vaping falls under the heading of being”misleading”, I’m not sure. Oh right, it stops smoking sans BP. Naughty!
Will the Deeming reg enforcement in May have an impact on vaping vids on you tube and elsewhere?
I think the regs do ban advertisements?
Will Vic start up a Super Scottsman channel?

After seeing this I decided to check my Subscriptions and as I went through them many are Terminated.

think he said in that vid above he’s gonna post on Facebook only ...he didn’t have back up content so a lot of it is simply deleted for good ...ouch
I posted a Dash Cam Video on FB once that was removed for copyright Infringement because I had Guns and Roses playing on my stereo during the video. The removal was basically immediate and I had to remove the audio track to post the video.
Ohh well. I do not facebook.
sucks, Vic was one of the very few reviewers I still watch.
One channel was banned, but luckily he had a few backup channels. This was without warning, too. I think it was a retroactive thing, since a few flicks had to be taken down months ago.
There’s prolly YT shills who report stuff just because they can and not because they really benefit at all.
But they’ll allow ads for Tobacco Free this and that. Bloomberg supports them, after all.

wow that’s crazy
That so sucks! I’m really afraid that we might see the whole vaping scene/industry dismantled, and for no good reason other than it truly helps people quit smoking!!
That’ll teach you to listen to heavy metal!! Lol
But that’s not even a false fact. He did say he wanted to raise it to $15, so what’s the problem with that?

The PROBLEM is that FB is using these Independent Fact Checkers and this one doesn't like Trump. So it is at the discretion of whomever to just grey out a post. Just like ECF where the Returded1 decides what is copyright infringement when something is not copyrighted.
Gimme a break! So if they don’t like vaping, they can just gray them out. Great!!
It is supposed to deal with fake news but the Fact Checkers are not checking facts they just mark it as false without proving or answering to anyone AFAIK.
