I'll do that, the same day you take your photos down, showing them, on pages that identify their location. My videos don't name the majority, and do not show anything of the outside.

Thankyou for your valuable input.

If I took all my photos down from those named locations, you wouldn't have found many places to monetize on Youtube would you.

You should be thanking me :lol:

I think this thread has gone too far...?
You have a couple of supporters on here who have stuck their necks out to defend and even promote and encourage you in the past but your true colours are showing recently I'm afraid. You have started to offend the wrong people recently.
Naming mines that are in the public domain but on a specialist website is one thing but bigging yourselves up by claiming "very dangerous", "bad air" and so forth just adds sensationalism into the mix to make it seem more exciting. Your videos are average at best but at least they serve as some kind of historical record. "Sexing them up" just looks cheap and a little bit sad. :(

Hmm, you might want to check my channel before you jump to conclusions, it's not monetised. And yes, thanks, I used this site to find my first mine.

Actually, it's 160, channel page isn't as up to date as analytics, thanks for doing the research for me though ;o) but why would I monetise, with it's current traffic, it would earn pennies, earn enough from my main channel thanks.

But you have named some mines that are in a sensitive area. Landowners are just looking for excuses to fill/block old workings - we've already lost a few. Doesn't help when badly equipped halfwits are going up to there armpits in water in tee shirts, then encouraging others to do it by posting their stupidity on Youtube. 😠

.... I will agree on your latest video being a dangerous mine - I watched 5 minutes of the video, fell asleep & spilled hot coffee down my leg.:(

I've not named mines that others have, many times in their videos and look what's happened to those mines....from worst case, nothing, to best case, entrances cleared and new entrance gates that are sprung and have no lock on put on. Hardly the sign of estates that hate explorers.

And by sensatives sites, none of the sites shown in my videos are not shown, pictured and mapped on here. Other projects I'm involved in, and currently have 3 large projects, you'll never see anything about from me, anywhere.

As for advertising, I don't, but this website is covered in adverts, so thereby, monetising the hobby. You gonna stick by your morals and stop using it?

People in glass houses and all that..

Covered in adverts ?

You mean those five tiny icons on the right from the highly respected people in mine exploring circles who have kept tens of thousands of photos freely available to you for the last 15 years ?

:lol:

I'm yet to receive my first royalty payment, perhaps we should have got Wish adverting in ?

Keep digging, because I think you're making yourself an excellent hole, you'll be able to drop a new video soon.
