All I see is an opinion with no explanation of the reasoning whatsoever. No confirmation about who was out of line with the three subjects involved.
It’s not an opinion, it’s a “rule”. You’re just being obtuse, as usual.
No rule has been cited.
They say that the Terms of Service have been violated. That’s all the explanation you get. It’s a private site and they don’t owe you any more. It’s not different than threads being deleted here without any explanation.
Within the TOS are community standards.
That is part of the rules, but there is a lot more in other sections. I looked at them a few days ago when I posted their rule that states that it is not permissible to “Maliciously record someone without their consent.”
I offered that as one possible explanation for the removal of the video because the notice only says that the video violated YouTube guidelines. However, that may or may not have been the issue that invoked the removal of the video. And even if it is, the language is ambiguous because it lists two conditions as follows:
-
Recording with malice.
-
Recording without consent of the recorded.

Reading this thread has forced me to recognize one aspect that I never before suspected.
All these tubers who follow cops around, record and post videos of trivial arrests, might they too be working in cahoots with the styled “victims” of the encounters, to provoke rehearsed incidents, just for the wow factor?
I think people are starting to learn from the Cable News Channels that if you pack emotion or controversy into a video it’s gets more clicks or hits on the internet and drives up your viewership (revenue).
You might be closer to the truth than you think…
I suspect that part of it too stems from how different people have varying levels of interest in the “human aspect” of stories.
If some guy posts a video titled “Bigboy steams into Podunk”, and the video depicts 4 1/2 minutes of yokels explaining why steam restoration is important to them, followed by 30 seconds of the train passing by,I’m going to feel shortchanged. But some seem to eat that kinda thing up.
To me, doing that sort of thing feels like I’ve been tricked out of 4 1/2 minutes of my life, by a videographer trying to stretch his screentime.
Some guy posted a video even that stated that “Shoestring the Hobo” makes at least $76,000.00 a year from his YouTube hobo videos and showed his calculations based on viewership and ad revenue. When I read that I wonder about all the folks giving him free food and lodging. Granted he is honest in the video and states he works as a day laborer at some of his stops and pays rent for a furnished apartment in Johnstown, TN. So it is not like he is hiding he is financially independent.
We had a guy that reminds me of video dude. Fellow member of NRHS group. Would see him couple times a yr I attended a meeting. Had him on phone contact list. One spring several yrs ago, I bid to switchman extra bd and worked only Sa/Su providing no one layoff during wk. Great gig. This dude would come by, watch us switch and bring donuts for us. That was all cool and he stayed out of the way. Keep in mind he has my phone #. One Sun, we go o/d 0630, like normal. first move like 10 min later, only 2 trks to switch, got it done, engs bk to tie-up spot 0815, tie up go home 0830, 2 hrs TTOD. Couple hours later I go to church, lv phone in truck. When I come out, had VM from him. Talking loud almost combative tone wanting know why we did not work as he showed up w/donuts and no one around. That p/o me. Did not respond to call and for him, good thing.
Couple yrs later, w/same dude involved, I was on job that p/u cars @ that yd and took them 6 miles south to spot. Left yd one eve. Called DS on phone to get signal as would not answer radio. Again, got a VM like next day wanting to know how we got down there w/o him not knowing it and not hearing anything wondering if a new radio channel was used. None of his business in that phone was used. I told my crew of this. The condr (I was brkmn) started to use the phone while sitting in yard to get the signal to come out and depart.Hence no one w/a scanner could hear that and not know what we were doing.I did not respond again to what was considered a rude VM. I deleted him off email thread and no longer was this pest getting “heads up” messages from me of like "this train will be here so-so time, this train has NS decorated eng on it by such-such location, o/b crew for this train o/d this time, so on, so forth. He had an inside info link and ruined it for himself. The NRHS group folded up like 4 yrs ago and since then, have not dealt w/him, seen him and that is fine. Nice not getting rude stupid VM calls that show no respect for others.
SF: There are people like the one you described that people in my profession encounter sometimes. They have boundary issues, sometimes severe, occasionally becoming dangerous.
You mean they aren’t the most important person in the world? Do tell! [}:)]
I think we’ve all run into “that” person - perhaps an early version of “Karen?”
I’d suspect that someone expecting privacy out in wide open view might have “boundry” issues, as well.
It’s a bit of a stretch, but depending on their history, could this be considered stalking?
Are you serious? Or some odd humor, thus the misspelling of “boundry” in quotes? The railroad employees was being harassed in his own home, not in public.
If he feels he needs more privacy, tell him to close a window. [:o)]
I’ll be in the Cincinnati-Dayton area tomorrow. I hope that I don’t run into you-know-who…
