New video! (Patreon)

Finally back!

After receiving my third strike on my channel, I wasn’t able to upload anything proper anymore. Luckily, strikes aren’t permanent. They expire after three months. So now, I can finally upload videos again. 

Many of you are aware of the issues I have with YouTube, but a lot of my followers, just on YouTube, aren’t. I often get asked why I delete my videos, when in reality, it’s YouTube systematically removing my content. That’s why I made this video, to address and discuss the issue. 

Initially, I intended this video as a critique of YouTube’s hypocrisy. But I quickly realized that it would just turn into a very negative video. I didn't want that and at the end of the day, there’s nothing we can do about the platform’s mismanagement and exploitation anyway.  So, I decided to take a different approach. Since trainhopping is too risky to post, I chose to walk an old railway route between Spain and Portugal instead. A route full of history, stunning landscapes, and impressive infrastructure. The video has a bit less action than usual, but towards the end, we still attempt to catch a train. 

Some of you may have noticed that Patreon names are no longer in the credits. That’s because I no longer have a clear overview of who’s still an active Patron and who isn’t. The system Patreon uses is messy, and I had to manually check the dates for each name. Doing that over and over again just became impossible. As a result, many names in the credits belonged to people who were no longer Patrons, while new supporters often didn’t appear at all. The list just wasn’t accurate anymore. I’ve looked for a solution, but so far, I haven’t found one. 

To still create a distinction between the €3 and €5 tiers, I’ve decided to start making photo reports of my trips. That way, you’ll get even more insight into my adventures. 

Sorry for this change, and thanks for your understanding!  

More videos are coming soon! I'm already editing the next one and will try to finish it as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
