My family and I have all left comments on recent videos, right after they are posted online, before they hit 500 plus comments. Our comments are being hidden from the pages. All of them, from three separate accounts on two different modems in two different states. This is happening all over conservative channels. Help our side push a message board, or begin another, that allows all conservatives/non-conservatives to post and not worry about censorship of our ideas and discussions. Recommend this one to your family and friends as a place to get started.

I've been uploading videos fairly regularly. I recently did a small mini-series aimed at people who might be new to anarchism. I talk about self-ownership and the other basic principles underlying stateless societies. I also do random stuff too. I've put three links below: My ambidexterity: On Consistency: The State Owns your Death:

Hello everybody, It's been approximately 4 years now since I've begun to listen to FDR (and almost from the very beginning everyday). Now, I'm planning on creating a YouTube channel where I'd post videos of me basically translating in french Molyneux's videos. But it'd be me in front of the camera, saying what Molyneux says, but with my own way of telling it. I live in Paris right now and everybody is so socialist/pro-immigration out there. Things are turning so badly. I want to bring the good word in french, where libertarian ideas are so uncommon. I want to play my part in the battle for Western Civilization. And since Molyneux is the best at the moment in sharing the truth IMO, I think that translating his core videos are one of the best way to reach my goal. Naturrally, I'll put a link in each of my videos towards the translated video, and also a link to Molyneux's YouTube channel in each description of my videos. But, of course, before posting any video, I need Stefan Molyneux's own accord, or I guess at least a moderator's accord. And please tell me whatever your conditions are in order for me to have your authorization to create my YouTube channel. Thank you very much in advance, JS en Liberté

I notice a number of YouTube videos are not reflected in the podcast stream. I understand the listener calls being redundant, but there are quite a few short videos that only show up on the YouTube channel. Curious what the reason was.

Youtube have placed video published by The Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration titled "Europe opens their eyes and admits we were right" into restricted mode preventing it from gaining attention. EDIT ( 7 december 2017 ) - Youtube removed video from restricted mode a day after Angry Foreigner released his video.

Some people are more equal than others and it's not us.

I sent an e-mail expressing interest, received return interest in working together, and we made this; the internet is our Guttenburg Press. This is both me showing-off and an offer for anyone else whom would like to collaborate in combating political correctness and insanity from this contemporary culture war.

Just see how this promoted video on YouTube is TANKING in the ratings. There's a lot of hope here. This video is promoted by YOUTUBE - EQUAL EXPOSURE to all user of YouTube. Next time someone starts boring you with hopelessness and nihilism, show them this picture. We only feel lonely because of the silence of our peers, not because we don't have any.

producing any online content? but cant? because its hard to produce something that grandiose when you're sort of alone? Its really difficult to be creative when theres no feedback, at least thats what i'm finding out. I'm interested in creating a circle at least for now for any aspiring online creators so at least we can give each other some tips or feedbacks for our plans. Looking forward to hear from you guys

Hello everyone Recently a Moroccan Atheist got his YouTube live streaming activity suspended and one his satirical video about Salomon deleted without any rational explanation given to him. This has become a trend that YouTube is censoring free speech and criticism of Islam especially within the Ex-Muslim community as they regularly receive strikes and sometimes get permanently banned from YouTube for criticizing Islam. It is possible that the Youtube arabic team of moderators act out their personal feelings and ban some contents based on their personal beliefs and emotions instead of community guidelines. This has become a very dangerous trend as many Ex-Muslim arabic and non arabic speaking are being censored and permanently banned from YouTube. Atheism in the muslim world is on the rise and during the last 5 years tens of millions of individuals men and women have left Islam to Atheism or converted to other more peaceful religions in secrecy. These people live like strangers in their own countries some of them are ostracized by their families, threatened and sometimes killed for leaving Islam. Internet and Social medias are their only outlets for free expression as they are isolated within their societies. It is also important to mention that this increasing trend of people leaving Islam has got some Islamic governments and clerics very worried of losing their credibility and power over people. Muslims especially radicals consider Internet and freedom of expression as the biggest threat to Islam and they are influencing Facebook and Youtube to censor and ban content that uncovers the dirty hidden secrets of Islam. I am linking to this Moroccan Atheist video down below. Please support him by liking his video (in english) and sharing it with everyone interested in this topic. We need more people like him! Thanks a million! Video title: Youtube Strikes Again! Channel name: Kafer Maghribi (translates to Moroccan Infidel)

Hi there, I'm really pissed -.- I read like a freak and I like watching Booktubers. Lately there's this thing #diversathon where you read books by non-white, lgbt or what-not people (in translation "I normally wouldn't read this, but since the author is black/gay/whatever, I will read it, because I'm not racist/homophobe/anti-whatever"). I tried to ignore this crap, I just don't watch those videos. Not that I mind those authors, but it's like voting for Obama just because he's black. They're just people, people! Then I started unsubscribing. There was one girl whose every third word was gender And now, Veronica Roth published a new sci-fi book. Everybody were meh at first (no surprise there, Divergent was crap). But after few weeks, some a-hole somewhere wrote that this book is racist because there were some black people that were stereotyped as bad guys Now several Booktubers started apologizing about missing it and how they are so sorry, and it won't happen again, they will screen books much better in the future Please, if you didn't see it, it's not a big deal. Why can't I have nice things? I want to watch normal people without all this PC crap. Can anyone recommend some Booktubers that won't make me

On December 27th, 2016, Stefan reloaded a YouTube video that he uploaded several weeks prior, titled "Woman rejects feminism, triggers SJWs". There is something Stefan is missing in his argument, he says that late teens/early 20s is the best time to have children for health and fertility reasons, and encourages women to go with child-rearing first, career later, but at this point in a person's life, most people have very little money and can barely afford to live on their own. Picture it: Young couple, the woman stays at home to be a young mother, WHERE is the money coming from? The father's crummy job changing tires or stocking overnight at Walmart? You can't raise a family in 2016 with an income like that. More money has to come from somewhere. Living in Toronto, being older and well-to-do with his successful wife, Stef's position isn't in touch with the current economic situation for the age group he is encouraging to have children. Am I wrong? Did I misunderstand his statement?

Hello Everyone, I made a short presentation (7 min) on corporal punishment. It's unlisted on YouTube, at the moment. The idea was to create a sort of 'pilot' for a YouTube channel called 'PsychologyTube', that I'm thinking about starting in the future. The idea for the channel was somewhat inspired by an existing channel called 'Philosophy Tube'. The presentation style and concept were more appealing to me than the actual content - the presenter is pretty Left-leaning. Anyway, I'd really appreciate some feedback. I think the quality is OK, considering it was created with a smart phone. If, in the future, I can prove to myself and the viewers that I'm capable of making good content, consistently, I will invest in superior audio-visual equipment. Again, this was just a test so any constructive feedback is welcome. Thanks

Stefan, You want to engage with people... I'm telling you, you can engage with people BETTER!!! 1) Put ads on your videos 2) Film your videos in an actual set. Don't put a blank, white, wall and your handsome face as the only thing I am seeing. 3) Get decent lighting. These are things that I am demanding as a subscriber of over 6 years! If you want to spread your message, stop creating crap for people to watch (no criticism here regarding the substantive message) and start generating revenue so that you can increase your viewership. Get real!!! My preferential suggestions: 1) Paint your wall a bold color. 2) Adjust lighting so it illuminates one side of your face more than the other. 3) Put framed pictures of philosophers who influenced your life on the wall behind you. 4) Use studio lights to illuminate those pictures exclusively while keeping the painted wall in shadow. 5) Place the camera so the pictures behind you are slightly out of focus but still recognizable while your head and shoulders are perfectly in focus. 6) Put a sofa with some pillows in the background, under the framed pictures, in order to demonstrate that your channel is a place of comfort for your viewers. 7) Use rope light behind the couch to illuminate the frame of the sofa so that it is easily visible for your audience. These changes will dramatically increase your number of subscribers. PUT ADS ON YOUR VIDEOS TO FUND THIS!!!!!!!!!

Hello FDR friends! I have been a FDR listener for about a year now and love this community. My life took a crazy turn a few months ago. (not in a determinist way) I had a son from a previous relationship and he lived with his mother. I am now married and have been for a few years. I am an ex-heroin IV user and used to be homeless and in and out of jails for about ten years. My sons mother was also an ex IV drug user. She had years of clean time until last November. She past away in April and the evidence points towards an overdose. My son now lives with me and my wife. (I have been sober for many years now.) Some really shady and appalling things happened to my son during the last days with his mother. A lot of it is speculation so I won't go into any details about it but I have since placed my son in CBT play therapy and I have been in therapy over the last 8 months. When I knew my son would be living with me I chose to quit my job so I could be with him all day. He is now 4 years old. I have started a Youtube channel called Teegz Adventures that "stars" my son. We film many different fun adventures that we go on and the channel is 100% kid-friendly. If any of you have little ones yourself or would like to check out his channel, I would love to have some philosophical, self aware, wonderful people in our community of friends there. As we all know how many youtube commenters are. I want my son to be surrounded by great people and I know no better place to find great people than here at FDR. If you enjoy our content, please subscribe and share our videos with your friends. I know this is a plug and a lot of people sigh at these sort of posts but it would mean the world to me and my son. Good people are hard to find so I want to take my chances here. Thanks everyone! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjA-Gv2bbV4Qr-nJ8696usQ

Telegram messenger is available for major platforms and has pretty features that could allow better FDR usability on the go. It also has desktop versions. So it may be beneficial to utilize the network content delivery features like instant notifications and pseudonym chat rooms with up to 5 000 users: https://telegram.org/blog/channels-2-0 https://telegram.org/blog/supergroups5k Somewhere has been mentioned the Telegram network files could be up to 1.5GB in size with no specified limits on quantity. That may be at least the worth considering either as content notification system, or even as a backup or mirror for FDR podcasts for instance. Although not directly related, there are chances YouTube could impose either discrete or total ban on FDR content. In that regard, there should be alternative content delivery and distribution sort of plan b.

Hello all. I've recently stumbled upon Ozymandias Ramses II, an interesting Youtuber who speaks about religion and atheism, and thought you all might be interesting in some of the things he has to say. I'd be interested to see anything Stefan has to say about any of his talks, too. Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmthjMiFTIQnkGyZvfQKBdA. I'd suggest checking out "BibleThumpingWingnut asks me about certainty": https://youtu.be/KC9bZ3jzf0U or "Why The Primacy Of Existence Is No Problem For Any Presuppositionalist": https://youtu.be/sA64V6AIbiw. Just a share. If you have any thoughts, feel free to comment below. Keithicus

Hi all, Not sure where to put this, so I figured Misc. would be the best choice Also, I hope it doesn't come across as shameless self-promotion either. I've been making youtube videos for a while, and I think that I haven't gotten much better at expressing my true thoughts on what I want to say. I live in Japan, so my channel is mostly about my life here. I often find that when I do more opinion based videos that I have trouble expressing my thoughts and I have lots of pauses, ums & uhs, and ramble or lose my train of thought. I thought this would get better over time, but it doesn't seem to have. So therefore I end up editing my videos down so much that they are full of jump cuts just to be able to understand what I'm trying to say. I'd like to get some honest feedback about some videos on there if anyone would be so kind. The channel is: http://www.youtube.com/user/shearoberts My latest one is a bit of a change in direction and one that is much more self-knowledge based. It addresses some of the issues I've mentioned here. Again, any honest feedback is welcome. I'm in the process of upgrading my computer, so hopefully I can increase the production values a bit more in the near future. Thanks Shea

This is going to sound like an advertisement, but I'm excited! I've been wanting this for years: a way to listen to Freedomain Radio YouTube videos -- especially the ones that aren't made into podcasts -- on my phone while using other apps, or with my phone screen turned off. Now I've found a way -- with the Wiper app. Wiper is a messaging app sort of like Snapchat. It allows you to erase text messages, as well as make and erase voice calls. The most exciting feature, to me, though, is that it also allows you to listen to and share YouTube videos (and erase the shares). It could be a good way to share favorite FDR videos with another person. This is my new music player. It comes with YouTube music playlists. Best of all, you can use other apps and turn your phone's screen off and keep listening, a function that YouTube itself doesn't allow. It doesn't save your place, or download onto the phone for offline listening, like a podcast app would. But I can now save FDR YouTube videos in a favorites list, and listen to them like podcasts while doing other things. Before, if a video wasn't made into a podcast, most of the time I would skip it rather than watch the video. Now I have more options for listening. It's a small thing, but others here may appreciate it, too. (Wiper also recently added a Bitcoin wallet with a function that allows you to erase transactions. Of course, you can't erase them from the Blockchain, but supposedly you can erase them from your phone. The app isn't open source, so use at your own risk. The Bitcoin wallet also has some bugs, in my experience.)

This youtuber, MatPat, is an expert with regards to growing channels. He can demonstrate how less videos can result in greater growth and even overall views per video. His channel views alone should be enough to back up his claims of expertise (besides the fact he advises large channels) since at 4 million subscribers he gets 75%+ views per Game Theory video. That's massive considering youtube stars such as Markiplier actually rake in less views that he does even though he has a channel 1.5x larger. Even PewDiePie can't compete with those percentages. Yes he has higher view counts but not higher percentages which is key. According to the system MatPat uses he will not, or at least attempts to prevent, subscriber burnout. He gets 75%+ of total subscriber views for each main video and he intends to keep that percentage locked as the channel grows. Imagine if Stef had those same percentages? In essence, MatPat is an expert in creating return customers. I suggest Stefan and the crew look into this if they haven't already and, should they see merit in it, consult this man on how to grow FDR. He may even suggest that the second channel actually hinders Stef's growth. Who knows? He's gone so far as to analyze the youtube algorithm and monitors it for any changes. He makes a good albeit quick case that playing the algorithm is key to getting views and what worked before a new update might not work now thus one must monitor it regularly. It's a scary thought that the distributor, youtube, could be unintentionally destroying your channel but it is a reality. Anyway, here is the video: Y'know, Stef's analysis of movies is fun, but perhaps he could attempt to do what MatPat does with his Game Theory show? Present an interesting theory and argue for it but in the realm of movies or popular books. For example, recall the post Stef had read about Harry Potter being a mental patient in a mental health facility called Hogwarts? That theory was interesting and dare I say brilliant. Mix in the sort of editing style that people appear to enjoy the most (use stock images, no talking head, etc) and this could make for an interesting addition to the channel. If the analysis of MatPat determines that Stef should make less of [X] type of video or space them out more, he will necessarily have more time for other things. We know that some shows are more popular than others like his 'Truth About' series for example. On that note I don't think Stef should address the title of the series in the way he does. It's called 'The Truth' but recently he's tempered that by calling it an opinion. Well, I think he would be better served to explain that, in using the methodology of reason and evidence, he has determined that this is indeed the truth. In calling it that it is left to us, the viewer, to prove him wrong otherwise we cannot claim that Stef's 'truth' isn't actually the truth given that he has adhered to the method by which we would determine it anyway. Suffice to say Stef isn't making a truth claim without evidence thus we can't dismiss it without evidence either. But neither should Stef temper his claim my calling it an opinion. To me the title of the series has always been an open challenge wherein to disagree necessarily requires we refute his reasoning and evidence and not merely his opinion. We can't just say, "That isn't the truth!" because we have no idea what the truth is ourselves. We cannot make such an objective claim. Therefore we must do our due diligence with regard to the topic in order to disagree or just shut up and refer to Stef's reasoning and the evidence he provides. I think making this point, though less harshly, at the beginning of each video would be effective at incentivizing others to investigate the topic themselves (hopefully bringing them to the same conclusion and thus subscribing) and for others to share it as a strong challenge to others. I can't be the only one who sees the title as an open challenge. I think that has a lot to do with it's popularity. Anyway yeah, something to consider for everyone and the FDR crew. Best to refer to an expert with regard to growing the channel until you are one yourself. I guess that's my advice.

Hello Freedomainers! I have started up a channel where I talk about philosophy and self-knowledge, my thoughts about it, how it has impacted my life and how it might help you! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2NkssMKUOmBYQ89TB6wNzw

I made a new video. This time it's about sexual objectification and the absurdity of feminist depictions of male sexuality. There are some decent jokes, a photo of me as a young boy and a sneak peak at Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie. I had a lot of fun writing and shooting this one, and I think you'll like it too.

I made a second video. This time about gender equality. I don't think it's such the great thing that people love to say that it is, and here's my thinking on that: I'd love to hear what you think!

Sometimes I just have to scream back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcGvN0iBA5s Post what you find. ---------------------------------- The worst one I've ever seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evrj6Zriu5A Men, please save the world and stop screwing crazy bitches.
