Wtf!
Rumble
Good thing he streams on nostr ;)
Blimey!
☠️
no way
They are banning all kinds of things. The globalists have begun the matrix in full view. They don't care anymore as they are losing over and over again.
Confirmed 👀
I was starting to think @BTC Sessions is Canadian KGB for not having been banned yet
No way!
Must have just happened, he posted a YT link 1 day ago 👀
Hope he was smart enough long ago to post also on rumble...
😂
Wtf
His last video was about no kyc p2p trading. I guess that touched a nerve
yall… this is why we #NOSTRONLY
truly sad to see this happen. let’s not let it happen again? #grownostr

This is why we Nostr
This is why I'm mirroring my content on Rumble and I might even back it up on Nostr.build until there's a solid decentralized YouTube alternative.
Lol yep.my immediate thought is, this has to be our Canadian government's doing.
Type R for respect.
I know it's still early days in #nostr but we NEED more nostr!
@BTC Sessions is there anything the average pleb can do to help?

It’s their platform, their terms, you (we) only get to use it until they don’t like it.
I feel sorry for folks whose income is tied to a third-party platform.
Noo wayyyyyy
Brutal
This is my go to for all btc tutorials WTH
NO!

This means we are winning and they are becoming afraid of us.
You know we live in a dystopia when not wanting to be monitored is a crime
Rumble is not the solution. Nostr is. Push comes to shove rumble will take down pro-freedom content
Not wanting to be monitored must now be criminal activity then.
The giant sleeps through the first thousand cuts, but when it wakes, it doesn't throw stones, it moves mountains.
We, the 99.999%, together, are the giant. With Bitcoin and nostr we can take them down, go back to normalcy, with community and families, not tyrannical governments.
And they are terrified of that
🤯
This was probably due to a spicy joke one of his guests made on a previous podcast. BTCSessions even joked about knowing the exact moment that the video would be demonitized. This is just a guess. I do not recall what the joke was specifically, but even the guy who made it apologized and said to cut it.
If you are to livestream, better to probably do it on a site like Rumble if you are going to even get close to hot button topics and then edit and upload to YouTube. Livestreaming on YouTube is rolling the dice if you cannot control 100% of what is being said.
Sorry this happened, I hope he can get it resolved.
Nostr is not there yet, but it will be. Rumble is the solution at the moment. You can just mirror your YT content to Rumble and direct your followers there.
That hurts. I hope all goes well in arbitration.
I guess it's time to go to rumble or find a way to post your videos on Nostr ☕
Nostr, the place where people continue to post hyperlinks to media content deluding themselves into thinking contents themselves are being stored in a decentralized way, is not a solution.
Nostr is just a place to post hyperlinks (or other text). You still need videos to be hosted somewhere, be it on YouTube, on "nostr.build", on Rumble or anywhere else.
Nostr will most likely not be there in the foreseeable future because videos are heavy.
Any relay run by volunteers who want to contribute to freedom of speech can hold a lot of text, but can't hold videos and clients need to download data before verifying hashes (making the use of untrusted relays potentially inefficient).
No way! Fuck you YouTube this is the last straw.
Oh no!
Ben doesn’t need YT, YT needs Ben. we the pleps follow Ben to any platform which of Nostr is the one!
Wow, I hope Ben gets the channel back online. His videos helped me a lot in my BTC journey.
Painful for him
The risk of building on other people’s digital real estate
😢 😭
Hosting and transmitting videos is expensive.
I am of course aware of the "other stuff", but the "other stuff" only works because it's still based on small JSONs that one can cheaply host and clients cheaply download, often multiple times, and verify (discarding them if invalid).
Whole videos are a different thing.
Why would one even *want* to use Nostr for video sharing? It's obviously the wrong protocol.
The event json would point the user to a file hash hosted in a blossom server.
This could be structured in one of two ways:
A) the blossom server requests a payment per megabyte of storage required paid for by the content creator
B) users pay the blossom server hosting the video to download it.
I personally prefer option B as it would give several servers an incentive to host copies of any blob.
As for whether users would pay for this, which I assume is the next question you may ask, yes they would.
Netflix has 300 million subscribers, and those are people paying monthly for essentially a more widespread version of my option B.
They put up caching servers in many ISPs data centers and pay them, in order to make users download their content faster
“Violation of community guidelines”, the age old cry of the oppressor
Same old, same old, #YouTube #Google hates #Bitcoin by order of the oppressing overlords. ☠️
He's back up. And this is not a criticism. We all need to capitalize on this teachable moment. 9 years of building on someone else's land, is no different than having your life savings sitting on an exchange. 
Yes, or how rich are you, if you are not allowed to spend your currency held in, so called "your" bank account. It is not yours in the first place, people don't know.
Ben apparently is back up.
Still, a warning to everyone put your content in many places. Trusting a single platform is very risky.
Substack, and Rumble focus on freedom to share content. There a few more. Diversify. You can even host your own content in your own website.
He's back - but this is the THIRD time...
The most professional, genteel, classy guy on YT ... what could their issue possibly be ?
Just post on blockfhain backed Odysee. Wish people were not so tied to the other peoples (Google's) outdated digital land.
Yeah the guest was shitting all over the USA but it was hardly cause for any sort of action, it just pissed me off. But ... I just always slough it off as just another jealous loser Canadian who really does not have a country.
Ben was diplomatic about it and opined on the future of the "Canadian Moose Shekel."
But this is just all bombastic economics talk from plebs with no real power. Is YT insane ?
But once again videos would only be referenced on Nostr and hosted through other protocols.
And if you trust hosting services, or companies in general, you don't really need Blossom, or even Nostr. Option A is no different than plain HTTP cloud hosting services with extra steps.
In any case, social media isn't Netflix and users are generally extremely reluctant to pay.
I think you should look into how blossom works. There's nothing stopping anyone from copying the file given the same sha, and hosting it themselves, which is why option B works.
As for paying, you are wrong, plain and simple. There's no such thing as free.
Almost every YouTube watcher pays with their private data and their time, and many subscribe to youtube premium so they don't have to pay with their time. Twitch, Rumble, kick, all work the same way.
Nostr zaps prove that we prefer giving small tokens of gratitude for something we find valuable, and those are usually higher amounts than what YouTube pays per view on average.
Furthermore even traditional non nostr platforms like patreon (and even YouTube channel subscriptions) show that individuals are willing to pay more than a Netflix subscription for their favorite creators. There are some making hundreds of thousands of dollars just from that.
This also goes for floatplane and other pay for early access platforms.
If you've ever watched a livestream (especially a vtuber live stream) you probably know how much people are willing to pay just to have their message read aloud. Pekora made millions of dollars just off of youtube superchats (let's ignore for a moment the fact that most of that money goes to cover corp).
Asmongold despite his living condition, makes more in a month than you and i probably make in 1 year, just from paid subscriptions.
X, shows that people are willing to pay to support text based content they like also.

A minority of the audience, many of which personal fans of Elon, are.
Even if that were the case, it does not refute my overall point
