Your character shows through Joerg when you do not make a 'click bait' video announcing your change of direction. This is why you are so popular, a true Gentleman. I'm sad to learn that you have gone back to a normal job for now but can't wait for the pure unadulterated Slingshot Channel content to return!! Show me their features ha ha ha
I actually found all his testing on the sponsored stuff quite useful. And look at the "Time travelling viking" series and the collaboration it sprouted with Teg'n'Thrand! That was made possible by the guys from that viking game. You can't tell me that that was bad! The only bad part was the stress caused by the morons who can't tell clay from their shit and who decided to meddle and make UA-cam safe where it didn't need it, all the while ignoring the huge holes through which the real nasty stuff seeped in. IMHO.
Agree with everything here, I think going back to hobbyist status is gonna make the videos a lot more fun. Also I'm totally stealing "can't tell clay from shit".
Hey Joery, I've been a fan for many years and I really love your engineering and your craftsmanship. I'm sad to hear that you're no longer able to monetize your hobby and work full time on it. This is truly a failure on UA-cam's terms, conditions, and claim automation. Your content is far more family friendly then most channels. Sure, it's about weapons but it's also about how they're made and understanding the physics behind them. Much respect to deciding to move on to another professional career and continue doing what you love without compromise. I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind if you kept a pre-roll add before watching your video without sponsored content. It can help you buy supplies on top of your patron. Honestly - UA-cam will probably run ads on them anyways for some users. I wouldn't put it past them so you might as well benefit from them ripping you off. Maybe one day soon UA-cam will realize how badly they're hurting creators like yourself who follow the rules and get penalized. Good luck man, and looking forward to your next video.
Man this is really sad - UA-cam does nothing to keep long time, quality content creators like you on their platform. And as long as there is no alternative they get away with it. I wish you all the best for your "normal" life now /e oh and btw I would love a tutorial for the Jörg Sprave Edition! :'D
A tutorial for the improved design would be much appreciated. I'm sure I can find plans, writings and drawings of how the original was made, so the new and improved design would be great for a tutorial.
Hi Jörg, Respekt dass du deinen Überzeugungen treu bleibst! Deine Videos gehören schon immer zu den Unterhaltsamsten und deine Inventions zu den Besten. Bleib so wie du bist .. ich wünsche dir ganz viel Erfolg und werde dabei bleiben egal welchen Weg du hier gehst. Ich würde mich übrigens über ein tutorial von der improved Version freuen. P.S. Ich warte nur darauf dass Dein Lungen Trainingsgerät (-; im Shop erscheint und würde es direkt kaufen.
I love that chinese repeating crossbow. That was a super cool improvement. I saw this old tv show where they tried to use modern stuff to improve ancient weapons and they always did a shitty job. I wish you had their budget. You'd make some awesome stuff
Ofc its not full auto, its just crossbow with magazine. Nice work, but Joerg enhancement dont have sense in historical and war terms, cuz Chinese army in those times needs tons of crossbows, that mean cheaper and faster production,reliability. Accuracy not a problem at all, cuz they compensate this by massive volley fire. Main problem is stringing, for this crossbow or any other, and you cant enhance this same way in terms of speed. Besides that, for single targets yo can use regular crossbows, and they have them in crazy amounts already.
@@EmersionX Joerg did enchance the reliability too. But I don't know, maybe the jammings were so easy to fix they didn't affect the fire rate much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@EmersionX You actually hit around this point in firearms terms around 1870. The Turks developed a system of using large numbers of single-shot, breechloading small arms with the ability to hit at long range with a smaller number of shorter-range repeating weapons like the Winchester. When the Russians got close at Plevna, they got hit all the way in but in the last 100 yards the Winchesters dumping their 13-round magazines at close range proved devastating. However, by even 1880 guns were starting to come out that were magazine breechloaders that could more or less do both jobs. If you could improve this design to have a box magazine under the weapon, or with sights to the side like the setup on the Nanbu LMGs, you have something that can do the job both of normal crossbows and repeating crossbows. Whether or not this could have historically been produced? Who knows.
@@Genktarov i talk historically as crossbow weapon was in demand. Firearms is another story and in 1870 Russian troops were a miserable sight, they suffered huge losses in general due to many problems accumulated in the Russian empire, this continued into shameful Russian-Japan war and the First World War, then everything became so bad in the country that the 1917 revolution began.
I’m generally pro-Russian but at Plevna the Turks had the superior weapons. Did you even read the comment? There’s plenty of cases in which further development of weapons systems was possible but wasn’t done, e.g. the American military never adopting lever guns and paying for it dearly at the battle of the greasy grass. The Chinese didn’t improve on the design, although I don’t know if they had windlass crossbows or not.
Love your "Jörg-Ko-No" Design, please create a tutorial for us to build it! Also kudos for your decision to abandon paid sponsorships for your channel, I sincerely hope you can continue with the high quality content like this even at a slower pace as long as you have fun doing this! Thanks for sharing your awesome inventions with us!
You should have typed better 'than,' not better then! 'Then' is a word which compares one thing to another according to a timed sequence. Ex: 1st this happened, (at some later point) then that (whatever event) happened afterward. Than is a comparative word which points out the difference between 2 or more things. Ex: An elephant is bigger than an apple. You should have learned this much by the 2nd or 3rd grade.
The new one . You are a genius brother. I'm a machinist, I dont know how you come up with these designs. Keep them coming Joerg. We all appreciate your effort to bring us all quality builds. PEACE
I am not even interested in slingshots or rubber of any of that. But your pure personal creativity, lighthearted and extremely likable character make every video desirable to watch, just because your joy of little or big inventions sparks over to the viewer and makes them smile. I am very sorry about the way how UA-cam mistreats it's content creators has hit you that badly: though your continuous motivation to produce videos just proves your never ending determination and is a wonderful display of a strong character. Keep it up and have fun showing us features! Sidenote: So now that you've got a repeating pistol slingshot crossbow thingy, what about turning it into a rifle for increased stability and accuracy, and maybe use some compound mechanism for a Javier drawweight but still maintaining the slamfire ability?
The issue isn't viewers not liking ads, the issue is dealing with UA-cam bureaucratic barriers and corporate governance. Sometimes the effort vs the return isn't a net positive and the UA-camrs end up unhappy.
We go out of our ways to endure stupid ads so that the people we like get paid. UA-camrs go out of their way to produce content to the lenght that youtube and the ad agencies deem best for profits. UA-cam goes out of their way to curate ads to content, make partnerships and promote events that benefit the ad agencies the most. The assholes at the ad agencies don't go out of their way for shit they say "I don't want my ad playing in this guy's content" and everyone else is fucked. Now I say fuck ad agencies and go out of my way to not purchase anything that's advertised in an invasive way and harass the companies that advertise through these agencies about not buying their product anymore. At some point the people with the money have to catch up with reality and realize mass impact advertisement hasn't been successful since 2007 at least and they're just wasting their money and everyone's time/freedom by continuing to employ these people.
Yeah, I don't mind him having sponsored videos either, but it would seem a lot of people did according to Joerg. I'm kinda curious why people would care about it at all.
Last time I checked he can still upload videos and never really needed to live off of youtube, so they didn't destroy anything. He just has to change his way of living so he can make money, and still enjoy creating new weapons as a hobby. Do you really care that he reduces all this stress and again can enjoy what he likes most about the hobby just because you can't get that new video in your feed slightly more often?
@@caldera11 Having a hobby outside your job is fun but you can have your hobby as your job is an amazing feeling. Just because he doesn't need to live on UA-cam doesn't mean he didn't want to. He actually did until the "adpocalypse".
@Caldera11 There would be no stress to begin with if not for UA-cam's retarded rules and moderation that often enough don't even make sense. All that started when UA-cam decided to cut down their own creators, it happened in the past too when they implanted that awful 10 minutes long and constant uploads rule to be monetized. It killed almost all of the flash cartoon creators, for example, who had to start doing let's plays or whatever to keep reaching UA-cam's terrible parameters for monetization. If not by that, he would be doing what he likes full time without a single care and we would get more content too. I seriously don't see your point here, you don't realize the root of all that is youtube itself.
yep it started with the 10 min long and constant upload,many channel that i subscribed do change because of it, some going well by making more content or just dont give a shit at all.
It's such a shame that a great content creator like you can't make a living doing what he loves like this, UA-cam has really gone to hell in the past year
Omg yes! This is a GENIUS idea! Set up a Shopify store or something with merch- blueprint posters, "Let me show you its features" tshirts, etc. I for one would buy.
:( Thank you for your persistence, dedication and strength in the face of adversary. Your channel is one of the ones I keep an eye open for when checking alerts. I look forward to any new content you publish, and wish you the best in your future endeavours!
I'm honestly kind of sad about this. I love Joerg's content and his work. Seeing him have to demonetize his videos seems like such a slap in the face from UA-cam at large.
Joerg best of luck in new endeavors. It is too bad that UA-cam has screwed over the people whos shoulder they stand on in their ivory towers. They would not be where they are if not for people like you. We can only hope that someone comes in with a better, fairer, way for content providers to entertain us without the useless AI censorship. (ok off my soapbox) I am very glad to hear that you will continue to entertain us with your great videos that teach and inspire us all. If I get to Germany we are having beer and steaks on me! Keep up the great work! :)
Sorry to do this but your comment is very visible. I want to make a suggestion to Joerg. Hi, Joerg, you can still make some good money from this channel without wasting time and energy to build new and new stuff. You could do small challenges/tests with the already existing weapons and other contraptions that you have. We are talking small scale nothing big or labor intensive. You could tell people to send you their contraptions and you test them and play with them too. It's practically free and you could make somebody really happy that you used him or her item. I don't know it is just an idea and your channel could still go on with relatively regular uploads. I am sorry that I reply to the CNC and it is nothing to do with your comment, just you have very likes and you are on top. I don't do this if I don't think it is important.
"We can only hope that someone comes in with a better, fairer, way for content providers to entertain us without the useless AI censorship." Hate to be a pessimist but this is not going to happen. UA-cam(Google) and the other tech oligarchs are too big now. If someone creates a new platform and it gains traction and has a large user base that is a financial competitor for YT- Google will simply offer them an unbelievable amount of money and buy it. Think about it. Some guy or a group of people of modest financial means(middle class regular folk) creates a website from their home office, buys server space ect ect ect... and then gets offered a billion dollar check from Google... there it goes. Anyone would do it. They may start off with good intentions but they will be bought out and swallowed by the oligarchs. They are simply too damn big at this point. Just like phone companies have all be condensed to merely a few companies now when there used to be dozens of them that competed... actually competed.
you’re a god damn genius! love the improved version and and love every bit of you content. the fact you improved a centuries old crossbow that ended up to become the best crossbow ever really show why you are the best and that the will never emerge any equal. i hope all is well with you and may the future bring you good health and good quality rubber for germanly efficient slingshots with the always good features.
Vielen Dank für so viel Ehrlichkeit!Ich habe zuerst deine Videos schätzen gelernt, dann deine Persönlichkeit. Du bist für mich eine der herausstechendsten Persönlichkeiten bei UA-cam. Dein Kampf gegen die Demonitisation war beispiellos.Und nun das! Das zeugt wahrlich von Ehre, dass du UA-cam nicht mehr als Business betreiben möchtest, aber dabei bleibst um uns, deinen Fans, mit deinen Videos zu begeistern! CHAPEAU!!!!!!!
I'm really sorry that you got so shafted by youtube and the adpocalypse but I'm extremely happy to hear that you will continue to bring us content on the side when you can. You're one of my favorite content creators and I look forward to seeing your future projects!
Thank you for all the laughs, this still, truly is one of my favourite channels. Your creativity is unmatched and I find that quite inspiring. Thank you, Joerg.
As a loyal viewer and patreon supporter, plus someone who finds adds annoying, I say you should keep your videos monetized, unless it's too much of a pain to stay that way, just don't worry about if the UA-cam overlords demonetize them. It'll be some extra money for supplies.
YOU AREN'T BORING JÖRG AND YOUR EXPLANATIONS AREN'T BORING. I LOVE YOU. :< DO YOUR BEST. Dude, keep your videomaking hobbyist. You're a saint for still making videos for us! I guess not enough people love slingshots 😤😧 that's laaaaame. I believe you will still gain subscribers, albeit slowly. But these will be the good subscribers who love you.
I strongly recommend approaching Disney studios with a script.. I'm sure there is room for a spinoff of Despicable me featuring Gru's cousin from German accent land who, taught him how to weaponize trash when they were children.. ..I hear Disney pays better than youtube.. ..Just don't end up like Miley Cirus as I don't think I could handle a naked Jorg spinning around on a wrecking ball..
I thought you did sponsored content really tastefully and not in a way that detracted from your videos. Sort of mad at the people who just want something for nothing. You come to the channel and get to watch free content, and yet you still complain about him trying to support himself after UA-cam shot everyone in the foot? Nice :l
Yeah people are sooks, i like everything he puts out, i also like him to be able to eat, to many snowflakes that don't understand people need money to live.
yeah i thought it was a cool idea, testing cheap knives, show us that gearbest is happy for a youtuber to test their products, and letting us know which knife is the best deal for the money, looking forward to what he does next :)
I agree. Sometimes YT channel creators are little different from shameless hucksters, but Joerg's sponsored vids always offered good content without smacking you over the head with the sponsor's wares. At least that's the way it seemed to me. I'm not happy with what UA-cam does to content creators just because they've got a bug up their asses about knives, guns, bows, weaponry, or what have you. I also think the whiners who want free content from fun, creative guys like Joerg don't understand how much effort goes into making these episodes. It's serious work and he deserved to be compensated for it.
Good for you Joerg, there are a TON of other youtubers that do nothing but complain about everything and beg for money instead of doing the responsible thing. I really respect you for going back to basics and getting a regular job again. It sucks and I hate youtube for it, but it is reality. Good job, I'll continue to watch and enjoy my favorite crazy German lol!!
I hope you have some savings at least! ;) You do *AMAZING* Work on this channel. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to make money from it. The powers that shouldn't be make me sick! Thank You for everything you've done and will continue to do @JoergSprave!!! I appreciate it more than you can possibly know. :)
I’m continually amazed by the genius behind your creations!! Once I see your solution, it seems so obvious, but before you show it, I can’t even begin to imagine how you’re going to solve the problem. Absolutely amazing! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was tough to watch. Thank you Jorg, for all of your amazing and fun videos! Don't give up! You've inspired me to donate at least a dollar a month--and depending on my income, more--to help you in your passion. Creative people unite!
Been following your channel for many years now, been paying attention to whats been happening. If its any consolation whatsoever, I have and will watch literally every video you put out!
Jorge, I am saddened people would actually leave you due to paid advertisements. I liked your videos for challenges and even for gearbest. At the same time, I love your new build, love that you are moving forward, and love your general attitude. I hope for you the best and will continue to be a dedicated fan.
So sad to hear YT had put you in this situation. Maybe it's for the best as your content is much better! The modern version is definitely where I would put my vote!
Your rubber related inventions videos have always been your best imo. Glad to hear about you revisiting that more. I as a musician made a similar decision in the past, and i enjoy making music much more since it is no longer under any pressure. And creativity really benefits of it. The one and only reason is having fun doing the things you love. That's wise i think.
He says the vid starts at 312 but it actually starts at 0:00. And no I didn’t forget the : people who are stupid enough to skip 3 min and 12 seconds of good content can comment it themselves
Ich glaube man merkt es dir etwas an, dass du wieder mehr Spaß an dem hast was du machst, als um das Geld zu kämpfen. Ich finde es inspirierend zu sehen wie du Lösungen für nahezu alle Probleme findest. Es ist eine Schande das man für so viel Arbeit und Zeit und solch eine menge Videos nicht mal mehr von leben kann. Vlt kannst du dich noch an das blaue Blei/Eichen Stück erinnern ;).
From what I remember, some of the Chinese repeaters had closed-top gravity magazines, and the bolts were inserted through slits in the back or the side. Prevents the bolts from "jumping" upward.
I think it'd be cool to continue the innovation of the crossbow and have an end-goal of creating a semi-auto crossbow. Other than that, I love that the channel is returning to the classic style I subscribed for. I wish you luck with your job, Joerg!
I am very interested in a Tutorial for your improved Version! Sad to though how UA-cam destroys what made it such a valueable Website, I really hope that it does not lead to an end of your awesome videos. I always admire your great work and have a lot of fun watching your content. Thumbs up for Hog Solo x'D
you were the first channel I ever subscribed too and I haven't been disappointed in your (sponsored) videos once! I'm glad to hear you'll keep making videos for fun!
Hog Solo is the perfect mascot for your channel! You seem more relaxed and back to having fun since you made the decision to demonetize. I wonder if you could find a partner that would help you make plans for your contraptions to sell in your store?
@@crwydryny I know he's said before he doesn't like making drawings. I would think a set of full size patterns traced from the original parts would be what people would need. I'm sure enough people would pay for the plans to make it worth his while.
I would like him to partner up with Matthias Wandal. He makes excellent plans and is a fantastic wood worker. He is Canadian so not sure how he would feel about toys like this.
HEAR, HEAR! I am a long time fan of his content who came for the Slingshot-AWEsomeness but stayed for his amazing&entertaining character and personality. While your announcement was a bit bittersweet tbh but I wish you all the best, and continue to "show us its feature"!!! @JoergSprave
Really hard decision...But yes, UA-cam is such a hard business these days.... my channel is a lot smaller than yours, but 20 - 30 euro a month??? That means I got max. 90 euro every three month...most times much less. A year ago, I got 80 - 90 euro every two month, that was a lot better for me, so in the past I can buy material of that money, at least a few things.. nowadays the chance that UA-cam become more than a hobby when you´ve got a channel where you make videos about weapons in some kind, is nearly zero! By the way really cool video, great chinese crossbow ;-). Greetings, Olli
Danke für das Video! Wieder ein paar Einsichten mehr! Mir würde ein Tutorial für die „neumodische“ Version gefallen, die „alte“ lässt sich daraus dann ja ableiten.
Although I loved the crazy contraptions you made while doing this full time, I think UA-cam has decided to go down the road of cable TV where everything is censored and clean and politically correct. Therefore I support your decision to only do UA-cam as a hobbyist. As for the tutorial, I would love to see how you built the improved model.
Right now some ancient Chinese weapons designer is rolling in his grave saying "Why didn't I think of that!?!?!" LOL Joerg you are an inspiration and a pleasure to watch :)
I’m crushed- you’re one of my favorite channels, UA-cam sucks! I hope you find a better venue to switch to like Twitch. Hit me up, I work on films in LA. I might be able to help
I am so sorry to about how things have changed for you. I love your content, and appreciate all of your hard work so much!! Thank you so much for continuing to post despite your hardship.
The updated version please! The original design was ingenious, but you improved it in so many ways! I was blown away with how awesome the newer version was
Man screw UA-cam. One of the most creative and skilled content creators on youtube deserves more than some clickbait boring vlogger smh.
Sorry to see you got hit by the adpocalypse so hard. Your videos are great, best of luck with everything.
Joerg could make some weapons to defend himself in the adpocalypse
Your character shows through Joerg when you do not make a 'click bait' video announcing your change of direction. This is why you are so popular, a true Gentleman.
I'm sad to learn that you have gone back to a normal job for now but can't wait for the pure unadulterated Slingshot Channel content to return!! Show me their features ha ha ha
Stuart McCloud , great comment. Well said.
As the long as the "LET ME SHOW YOU ITS FEATURES" does not disappear, we are all happy! HA HA HA
I actually found all his testing on the sponsored stuff quite useful. And look at the "Time travelling viking" series and the collaboration it sprouted with Teg'n'Thrand! That was made possible by the guys from that viking game. You can't tell me that that was bad!
The only bad part was the stress caused by the morons who can't tell clay from their shit and who decided to meddle and make UA-cam safe where it didn't need it, all the while ignoring the huge holes through which the real nasty stuff seeped in. IMHO.
Agree with everything here, I think going back to hobbyist status is gonna make the videos a lot more fun.
Also I'm totally stealing "can't tell clay from shit".
Is okay I stoled it from John Scalzi :D
And another thing. My point was that I don't mind and actually welcome the idea of sponsored reviews.
Jörg is and will remain the best UA-camr, sponsored, monetized video or not.
I vote for Jörg-Ko-Nu, AWESOME !!!
I agree 100%!
Jörg-Ko-Nu please!
wrr

When a UA-camr with 2,000,000 subscribers gets a 'normal job' it shows that UA-cam has a real problem...
Agreed
Absolutely.
yes
Unless those 2,000,000 are Fortnite kids or cat lovers,UA-cam doesnt care.

les kuelbs yes agreed.
Liked and agree with this comment. The 2nd crossbow was way better!
What if he changed the shape of the charging handle so it can be used as a stock in his loaded position?
It's really disgusting how UA-cam has treated all of us...
And I liked your sponsored shows!
yeah I liked most of them as well. personally I was not interested in the gearbest stuff though.
Me too
Same, I saved hundreds using gearbest over amazon
Sorry for you mate, must have been a nasty decision. YT sucks! Good to see more good old slingshot content again though.
Your stuff is better then TV I don't mind the adds at all. Can't get this content anywhere!
You should have typed better 'than,' not better then! 'Then' is a word which compares one thing to another according to a timed sequence. Ex: 1st this happened, (at some later point) then that (whatever event) happened afterward.

Du bist und bleibst der beste UA-camr. Inzwischen seit Jahren der Einzige, bei dem ich nicht ein Video verpasst habe.
I subscribe to this opinion.
.?
What he said!
I am not even interested in slingshots or rubber of any of that. But your pure personal creativity, lighthearted and extremely likable character make every video desirable to watch, just because your joy of little or big inventions sparks over to the viewer and makes them smile.
I am very sorry about the way how UA-cam mistreats it's content creators has hit you that badly: though your continuous motivation to produce videos just proves your never ending determination and is a wonderful display of a strong character.

Yup, but his stuff is cool too.
I actualy don't mind watching ads to help you.
The issue isn't viewers not liking ads, the issue is dealing with UA-cam bureaucratic barriers and corporate governance. Sometimes the effort vs the return isn't a net positive and the UA-camrs end up unhappy.
We go out of our ways to endure stupid ads so that the people we like get paid.

The assholes at the ad agencies don't go out of their way for shit they say "I don't want my ad playing in this guy's content" and everyone else is fucked.

At some point the people with the money have to catch up with reality and realize mass impact advertisement hasn't been successful since 2007 at least and they're just wasting their money and everyone's time/freedom by continuing to employ these people.
A lot of Joerg's video essentially are commercials that I WANT to watch.
Get a clue advertisers
It's time Japan pays Joerg for the rights to animate the isekai adventures of Joerg

I dont mind you having sponsored videos, whatever is necessary to help you out!
Yeah, I don't mind him having sponsored videos either, but it would seem a lot of people did according to Joerg. I'm kinda curious why people would care about it at all.
UA-cam destroying its own creators, as usual.
Last time I checked he can still upload videos and never really needed to live off of youtube, so they didn't destroy anything. He just has to change his way of living so he can make money, and still enjoy creating new weapons as a hobby. Do you really care that he reduces all this stress and again can enjoy what he likes most about the hobby just because you can't get that new video in your feed slightly more often?
@@caldera11 Having a hobby outside your job is fun but you can have your hobby as your job is an amazing feeling. Just because he doesn't need to live on UA-cam doesn't mean he didn't want to. He actually did until the "adpocalypse".
@Caldera11
There would be no stress to begin with if not for UA-cam's retarded rules and moderation that often enough don't even make sense. All that started when UA-cam decided to cut down their own creators, it happened in the past too when they implanted that awful 10 minutes long and constant uploads rule to be monetized. It killed almost all of the flash cartoon creators, for example, who had to start doing let's plays or whatever to keep reaching UA-cam's terrible parameters for monetization.
If not by that, he would be doing what he likes full time without a single care and we would get more content too. I seriously don't see your point here, you don't realize the root of all that is youtube itself.
yep it started with the 10 min long and constant upload,many channel that i subscribed do change because of it, some going well by making more content or just dont give a shit at all.
You guys are incredibly entitled, you're lucky youtube doesn't make you pay to upload videos in the first place.
It's such a shame that a great content creator like you can't make a living doing what he loves like this, UA-cam has really gone to hell in the past year
This guy is the best. If anyone is producing content in the original spirit of youtube and deserves to be properly monetized, its him.
Precision german engineering.
Sorry to hear that you've been hit by the ad-pocalypse, love your content!
Why would i skip 3:12 mins of extra entertainment?
agree
Schade Jörg, aber gut das du das so gut hinnimmst
Light_of_ Heaven
Ja genau .👍🏻
Agree plus one!
thanks
Don't delete your patreon Jörg! We still want to support you!
sell schematics! big blue posters that show how to put togther oreo launchers and condom appliers and other funny cool stuff id pay for one
Omg yes! This is a GENIUS idea! Set up a Shopify store or something with merch- blueprint posters, "Let me show you its features" tshirts, etc. I for one would buy.
That's a bloody good idea mate! Blue print T-shirts! I would buy one of those plus specific blue prints of some of his toy's.
The legal implication could be too much for him to handle tho.
Yes !
:( Thank you for your persistence, dedication and strength in the face of adversary. Your channel is one of the ones I keep an eye open for when checking alerts. I look forward to any new content you publish, and wish you the best in your future endeavours!
I'm honestly kind of sad about this. I love Joerg's content and his work. Seeing him have to demonetize his videos seems like such a slap in the face from UA-cam at large.
Joerg best of luck in new endeavors. It is too bad that UA-cam has screwed over the people whos shoulder they stand on in their ivory towers. They would not be where they are if not for people like you. We can only hope that someone comes in with a better, fairer, way for content providers to entertain us without the useless AI censorship. (ok off my soapbox) I am very glad to hear that you will continue to entertain us with your great videos that teach and inspire us all. If I get to Germany we are having beer and steaks on me! Keep up the great work! :)
Sorry to do this but your comment is very visible.
I want to make a suggestion to Joerg. Hi, Joerg, you can still make some good money from this channel without wasting time and energy to build new and new stuff. You could do small challenges/tests with the already existing weapons and other contraptions that you have. We are talking small scale nothing big or labor intensive. You could tell people to send you their contraptions and you test them and play with them too. It's practically free and you could make somebody really happy that you used him or her item.
I don't know it is just an idea and your channel could still go on with relatively regular uploads. I am sorry that I reply to the CNC and it is nothing to do with your comment, just you have very likes and you are on top. I don't do this if I don't think it is important.
Ich hätte das auch gerne und alle anderen Dinge von dir!
"We can only hope that someone comes in with a better, fairer, way for content providers to entertain us without the useless AI censorship."
Hate to be a pessimist but this is not going to happen. UA-cam(Google) and the other tech oligarchs are too big now. If someone creates a new platform and it gains traction and has a large user base that is a financial competitor for YT- Google will simply offer them an unbelievable amount of money and buy it.
Think about it. Some guy or a group of people of modest financial means(middle class regular folk) creates a website from their home office, buys server space ect ect ect... and then gets offered a billion dollar check from Google... there it goes. Anyone would do it. They may start off with good intentions but they will be bought out and swallowed by the oligarchs. They are simply too damn big at this point. Just like phone companies have all be condensed to merely a few companies now when there used to be dozens of them that competed... actually competed.
Oh Man :( I never thought of unsubscribing, I was happy that you were sponsoring in your videos, I knew at least you got money :(
The original has its charme, but i think yours is better. So please make the blueprints of the advanced chukonu joerg. You are the best.
Agreed. I like the modified one a lot more too.
you’re a god damn genius!
love the improved version and and love every bit of you content.
the fact you improved a centuries old crossbow that ended up to become the best crossbow ever really show why you are the best and that the will never emerge any equal.
i hope all is well with you and may the future bring you good health and good quality rubber for germanly efficient slingshots with the always good features.
WITH the improvements, please!
anyone know if its out yet
wrr
Vielen Dank für so viel Ehrlichkeit!Ich habe zuerst deine Videos schätzen gelernt, dann deine Persönlichkeit. Du bist für mich eine der herausstechendsten Persönlichkeiten bei UA-cam. Dein Kampf gegen die Demonitisation war beispiellos.Und nun das! Das zeugt wahrlich von Ehre, dass du UA-cam nicht mehr als Business betreiben möchtest, aber dabei bleibst um uns, deinen Fans, mit deinen Videos zu begeistern! CHAPEAU!!!!!!!
I'm really sorry that you got so shafted by youtube and the adpocalypse but I'm extremely happy to hear that you will continue to bring us content on the side when you can. You're one of my favorite content creators and I look forward to seeing your future projects!
Lovin youtube right now. 2 million subs and this guy can't even make a living.
EverEternity how it should be tbh, or would you rather fortnite players make 20k a month due to mad views and algorithm abuse?
@@borisyoalkstein2484 what's the difference between UA-cam and people acting on TV shows?
Thank you for all the laughs, this still, truly is one of my favourite channels. Your creativity is unmatched and I find that quite inspiring. Thank you, Joerg.
Sadest intro ever. I was okay with your sponsored videos.
As a loyal viewer and patreon supporter, plus someone who finds adds annoying, I say you should keep your videos monetized, unless it's too much of a pain to stay that way, just don't worry about if the UA-cam overlords demonetize them. It'll be some extra money for supplies.
If he keeps them monetized he probably has to pay self employment tax.
@@jackedup8790 but he is a manager of his own store so he has to pay that anyway
@@rkidy yeah I don't know. There must be a reason not to keep them monetized. He already showed the views are higher on monetized videos
I think he wants to deny UA-cam the revenue
@@theatlantean39 maybe. Whatever he does I hope he has fun
As long as your still on utube I'm happy. Need my dose of Joerg, great bloke and very talented with his ideas and build skills. One of a kind.
YOU AREN'T BORING JÖRG AND YOUR EXPLANATIONS AREN'T BORING. I LOVE YOU. :< DO YOUR BEST.
Dude, keep your videomaking hobbyist. You're a saint for still making videos for us! I guess not enough people love slingshots 😤😧 that's laaaaame.
I believe you will still gain subscribers, albeit slowly. But these will be the good subscribers who love you.
I strongly recommend approaching Disney studios with a script..
I'm sure there is room for a spinoff of Despicable me featuring Gru's cousin from German accent land who, taught him how to weaponize trash when they were children..
..I hear Disney pays better than youtube.. ..Just don't end up like Miley Cirus as I don't think I could handle a naked Jorg spinning around on a wrecking ball..
bahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaha
I could. Joergs wrecking ball would be a real one. Although, I believe he may have to wear a safety T-shirt, so not entirely naked.
Joerg on a wrecking ball: let me show you my features
You are still one of the greats!
Whatever you do we support your decisions.
Thanks for showing me your features.
I thought you did sponsored content really tastefully and not in a way that detracted from your videos. Sort of mad at the people who just want something for nothing. You come to the channel and get to watch free content, and yet you still complain about him trying to support himself after UA-cam shot everyone in the foot? Nice :l
Yeah people are sooks, i like everything he puts out, i also like him to be able to eat, to many snowflakes that don't understand people need money to live.
I actually liked his Gearbest reviews with crazy contraptions.
yeah i thought it was a cool idea, testing cheap knives, show us that gearbest is happy for a youtuber to test their products, and letting us know which knife is the best deal for the money, looking forward to what he does next :)
I agree. Sometimes YT channel creators are little different from shameless hucksters, but Joerg's sponsored vids always offered good content without smacking you over the head with the sponsor's wares. At least that's the way it seemed to me. I'm not happy with what UA-cam does to content creators just because they've got a bug up their asses about knives, guns, bows, weaponry, or what have you. I also think the whiners who want free content from fun, creative guys like Joerg don't understand how much effort goes into making these episodes. It's serious work and he deserved to be compensated for it.
yes he did the sponsering always in a way so it does not disturb the content
Good for you Joerg, there are a TON of other youtubers that do nothing but complain about everything and beg for money instead of doing the responsible thing. I really respect you for going back to basics and getting a regular job again. It sucks and I hate youtube for it, but it is reality. Good job, I'll continue to watch and enjoy my favorite crazy German lol!!
Funny seeing someone complain about other people complaining. XD
I didn't mind the sponsor vids
Best of luck to you Jörg! I just hope that you'll never quit posting videos because I love watching your shenanigans and inventions!
You have my support Joerge! Good form for still doing what you want to do man that just makes my heart smile!
The poor poor shed!
I hope you have some savings at least! ;) You do *AMAZING* Work on this channel. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to make money from it. The powers that shouldn't be make me sick! Thank You for everything you've done and will continue to do @JoergSprave!!! I appreciate it more than you can possibly know. :)
jööööörg, ein harter schritt aber glaube das war die richtige entscheidung.. youtube geht den bach runter!
Das stimmt leider, UA-cam geht echt den Bach runter :/
Was soll das heißen? :D UA-cam geht nirgendwo hin, auch wenn ich meine dass das bullshit ist was abläuft
politik beschneidet die Meinungsfreiheit.
Yeah a new vid
btw I'm happy that you are going back to your roots
@@devilscore2350 yeah you're right xD
Our roots ? We lived peaceful under big oaks till the romans wanted our land ! :)
I’m continually amazed by the genius behind your creations!! Once I see your solution, it seems so obvious, but before you show it, I can’t even begin to imagine how you’re going to solve the problem. Absolutely amazing! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was tough to watch. Thank you Jorg, for all of your amazing and fun videos! Don't give up! You've inspired me to donate at least a dollar a month--and depending on my income, more--to help you in your passion. Creative people unite!
saw this pop up DROPPED EVERYTHING
eli s, me to
same here
Don't ever have kids you 3 .
That improved version is awesome! Your level of creativity never fails to amaze me...
Thank you for not giving up no matter what!
Been following your channel for many years now, been paying attention to whats been happening. If its any consolation whatsoever, I have and will watch literally every video you put out!
Sure I like your updated version of the cross-bow! It's wonderful!
omg jorg. You gave me an idea for the weapon of the eastern armies in my webcomic. Gud job.
Jorge, I am saddened people would actually leave you due to paid advertisements. I liked your videos for challenges and even for gearbest. At the same time, I love your new build, love that you are moving forward, and love your general attitude. I hope for you the best and will continue to be a dedicated fan.
tru dat
Really sad to hear this Joerg. You come across as a genuine guy and your honesty is refreshing. Good luck from the UK!
So sad to hear YT had put you in this situation. Maybe it's for the best as your content is much better!
The modern version is definitely where I would put my vote!
Your rubber related inventions videos have always been your best imo. Glad to hear about you revisiting that more. I as a musician made a similar decision in the past, and i enjoy making music much more since it is no longer under any pressure. And creativity really benefits of it. The one and only reason is having fun doing the things you love. That's wise i think.
Glad to have the hobbyist back :)
Haven't watched an entire video in quite some time, thanks for coming back to your roots
He says the vid starts at 312 but it actually starts at 0:00. And no I didn’t forget the : people who are stupid enough to skip 3 min and 12 seconds of good content can comment it themselves
“How to destroy UA-cam with a slingshot”
Ich glaube man merkt es dir etwas an, dass du wieder mehr Spaß an dem hast was du machst, als um das Geld zu kämpfen. Ich finde es inspirierend zu sehen wie du Lösungen für nahezu alle Probleme findest. Es ist eine Schande das man für so viel Arbeit und Zeit und solch eine menge Videos nicht mal mehr von leben kann. Vlt kannst du dich noch an das blaue Blei/Eichen Stück erinnern ;).
From what I remember, some of the Chinese repeaters had closed-top gravity magazines, and the bolts were inserted through slits in the back or the side. Prevents the bolts from "jumping" upward.
I think it'd be cool to continue the innovation of the crossbow and have an end-goal of creating a semi-auto crossbow.
Other than that, I love that the channel is returning to the classic style I subscribed for. I wish you luck with your job, Joerg!
I am very interested in a Tutorial for your improved Version!
Sad to though how UA-cam destroys what made it such a valueable Website, I really hope that it does not lead to an end of your awesome videos. I always admire your great work and have a lot of fun watching your content.
Thumbs up for Hog Solo x'D
Damn. I feel bad for him, cause I love this guy. SHOW ME THE FEATURES!!!
Its a shame that talented and creative people like you have to quit their (I assume) dream job only because there is this 'adpocolipse' going on...
UA-cam is turning into a music and cooking show streaming service.
This video showed me that your incredible creativity and overall kindness are not the only reasons to admire you. I'm impressed!
you were the first channel I ever subscribed too and I haven't been disappointed in your (sponsored) videos once! I'm glad to hear you'll keep making videos for fun!
Hallo deutsche Zuschauer! 👋
Hi
Hi
Hi
nabend
Hey
Please a tutorial for the second one! I really admire and appreciate your decision
Great job, UA-cam. Great job. Got what you wanted?
A clear improvement. And the improved reliability means that you can fire more rapidly, too.
Danke, das Du weiter mit so ehrlicher Begeisterung für uns Videos veröffentlichst...
Nur das Beste für Dich und Alles was du anpackst!
I like your new improved design much better.
Hog Solo is the perfect mascot for your channel! You seem more relaxed and back to having fun since you made the decision to demonetize. I wonder if you could find a partner that would help you make plans for your contraptions to sell in your store?
"You seem more relaxed and back to having fun" This was my first thougt !!! The old happy and relaxed Jörge is back!Thanks for the comment :)
that's not a bad idea, personally I wouldn't mind doing a few designs for him to play with
@@crwydryny I know he's said before he doesn't like making drawings. I would think a set of full size patterns traced from the original parts would be what people would need. I'm sure enough people would pay for the plans to make it worth his while.
I would like him to partner up with Matthias Wandal. He makes excellent plans and is a fantastic wood worker. He is Canadian so not sure how he would feel about toys like this.
HEAR, HEAR! I am a long time fan of his content who came for the Slingshot-AWEsomeness but stayed for his amazing&entertaining character and personality. While your announcement was a bit bittersweet tbh but I wish you all the best, and continue to "show us its feature"!!! @JoergSprave
Tutorial on the new and Improved please please please!!!
Thank you for sharing all your great ideas!!! You rock!!!
Your work is simply inspiring! Thank you for making these, despite UA-cam's best efforts.
Really hard decision...But yes, UA-cam is such a hard business these days.... my channel is a lot smaller than yours, but 20 - 30 euro a month??? That means I got max. 90 euro every three month...most times much less. A year ago, I got 80 - 90 euro every two month, that was a lot better for me, so in the past I can buy material of that money, at least a few things.. nowadays the chance that UA-cam become more than a hobby when you´ve got a channel where you make videos about weapons in some kind, is nearly zero! By the way really cool video, great chinese crossbow ;-). Greetings, Olli
JoergSprave PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD INTRO VIDEO LIKE THE GOOD OLE DAYS !!
Joerg Sprave for chancellor of Germany? Anyone?
MemeorphesisTV Plus nope, because he would not be able to build stuff anymore. And i think, he is better at making fun content then politics
For a better gun law!
cyberdwarf0308
But he can build a better Germany? He can make many videos on that
Hell if he could run for US president id vote for him in a heart beat hehe
Danke für das Video! Wieder ein paar Einsichten mehr!
Mir würde ein Tutorial für die „neumodische“ Version gefallen, die „alte“ lässt sich daraus dann ja ableiten.
I don't mind the ads. I love that you do not give up in hard times.
Although I loved the crazy contraptions you made while doing this full time, I think UA-cam has decided to go down the road of cable TV where everything is censored and clean and politically correct. Therefore I support your decision to only do UA-cam as a hobbyist. As for the tutorial, I would love to see how you built the improved model.
Right now some ancient Chinese weapons designer is rolling in his grave saying "Why didn't I think of that!?!?!" LOL
Joerg you are an inspiration and a pleasure to watch :)
That would be Zhuge Liang himself lol
thousands of years ago....
I’m crushed- you’re one of my favorite channels, UA-cam sucks! I hope you find a better venue to switch to like Twitch. Hit me up, I work on films in LA. I might be able to help
I’m glad you didn’t stop completely! Your content is great!
I am so sorry to about how things have changed for you. I love your content, and appreciate all of your hard work so much!! Thank you so much for continuing to post despite your hardship.
An dieser Stelle einfach mal ein dickes Danke für die vielen Stunden pure Unterhaltung!
The strength of the bow cord is also important. From some guy from Zhou Geliang’s hometown
I would like to see plans for the Jorg Ko Nu enhanced repeater.
Joerg, so sorry it has come to this. I only discovered your channel recently but loving it! May the force be with you.
The updated version please! The original design was ingenious, but you improved it in so many ways! I was blown away with how awesome the newer version was
Try making a ball bearing magazine so that it shoots steel balls instead of pencils
