It’s funny how as soon as Shad calls out UA-cam and their bullshit, people start getting notified like it was normal again. 🤔
people started checking their sub feed instead of letting the home page do its thing on their brains
I can see it being hard to track subscriptions if you have a LOT of them. Most of the time if I do miss something it tends to pop up on the default homepage, normally I go to /feed/subscriptions.
@@C_F_M Nope was on home page for me, not subs
@@C_F_Mwas on notifications for me.
I always get notifications for the channels I'm subscribed to.
Shad I'm telling you, DONT YOU DARE GIVE UP! Deus Vult! For Gondor! For Rohan! FOR AUSTRALIA!
47 LIKES MAN IN 37MINUTES! SPEED OF HORSE, CHARGE!
ahmen
Those kiwis at youtube will never win!
Shad King stands alone. Not alone, Rohirrim!
FOR MACHICOLATIONS!
Mad Max taught me that Motorcycle helmets, and football pads are the future post apocalyptic body armor
They did a video on that a few months ago with some surprising results.
Top 3 favorite movie.
In terms of accessibility they really are.
Like, you're not gonna find kevlar or metal armor in 99% of places, but nearly every high school has a whole team's worth of football gear.
Best part is that it's designed to handle blunt force impacts so to a large extent it's the stabs you have to worry about.
Pair it with a trash can lid and you've got a real good defense.
They tested rubber tire armor specifically and car doors. I don't remember if they tested football pads and helmets, pretty sure they didn't.
Motorcycle helmets are not durable, good blunt force protection, but they are intended by design to be replaced wjen damaged... repairability is nearly impossible which in post apocalypse makes them less disarable.
The Subscription page is my home page.
It took me like 5 years to figure out what creators were talking about when saying subscribers weren't being notified. lol
On a different note. I miss the videos of Shad sitting in a chair giving history lessons.
THIS! This was a fun video though. But yeah, the simple history lessons were great as well
I also miss the history lessons. Some of my favorite videos were about castles or adventuring food or the nuances of medieval English architecture.
the latest shadlands channel exclusives are almost a return of the 'lessons' format, so far I'm liking the channel
same here to both.. it seems like a lot of youtuber viewers just use the recommendation algorythm instead of the subscription feed..
When I open UA-cam it defaults to the Suggested Videos page. The first three are always either by creators I’m subscribed to (*if* they’ve uploaded something since my last session) or are videos similar to others that I’ve watched several of in my last session. That’s how it used to work, anyway.
Then I go to my Notifications page and see uploaded videos that didn’t appear on my Suggestions page. This is as Shad has said, since maybe January.
Today I saw one video by someone I’m subscribed to, but it wasn’t Shad’s video even though it showed on my Notifications page. Nor did any of the other new videos on my Notifications page show on my Suggestions page except the one.
I almost always get notifications from channels that I’m subscribed to- it’s very rare that I don’t and it doesn’t seem to correlate with their popularity or the topic of a video or the overall theme of the channel.
Basically I’m not seeing consistency one way or another.
That’s just my experience with my list of subscriptions and where I live. I consider myself fortunate that I get most notifications.
I would not want Tyranth hitting me in the head no matter how bad ass the helmet was. That sounded like brain damage.
That sounded like a shattered neck.
@@dposcuro that too.
"That sounds like brain damage."
Want that on a T-Shirt
@@lurkingllama8364 I feel like I must have said that in a Walmart at least once.
He could probably kill me with one of their pool noodles.
It's wild that UA-cam can arbitrarily be like "And now your subscribers don't see your videos! :D"
US election season this happens most often.
I get recommendation for mainstream media that I never watched but don't get the channels I'm subbing
And the worst thing is to my understanding as a platform that's illegal they're behaving like a publisher yet claim they're a platform
well i saw it! i clicked on it looked at the comments, muted the window to let it play to support chad. but i am not interested in this video. wtf do i care a sword vs motorcycle helmet. all i care about is if i fall from my motorcycle if it will protect me! i know it wont stop bullets. but i dont care if it will stop swords. shad his content changed. and i like the old school stuff. and when i say that in other videos or community post people attack me
Except they do. If they look at the subscription list...
Something to keep in mind is that motorcycle helmets are greatly compromised after the first impact. In theory if you even drop the helmet one time, you're supposed to throw it out. They are made to absorb impact energy while breaking and crushing. Like a crumple zone in a car, it bleeds off kinetic energy through the breaks. But only for the first strike. After that, even if it looks ok still, it is not.
So all the tests here, after the first two sword strikes, are against a compromised and less effective helmet.
Good point, I didn't know that!
Not strictly true.. A degree of truth but a lot of misunderstanding as to the design and function of the helmet components.
The shell is not designed to break as a form of impact absorption, it's design is for penetration resistance and to resist breaking.. It's the poly-foam liner that is designed for impact absorption.
Reality is, it's a sum of many variables as to whether the helmet is safe to use again or not. As such the recommendations are best practice but not requirements.
@@toneh154 What I stated is fact. The misunderstanding is all you.
Stating "N-uh" does not disprove anything I said, but any google search will prove I am correct.
EgsciencedirectDOTcom/science/article/abs/pii/S0263822311002133
The shell is absolutely designed to shatter and bleed off impact force. It is made from a composite that crushes under force. It is not a plastic or other solid that can take multiple strikes. It does *not resist breaking* at all it is very fragile, and intentionally designed that way.
Arguing with easy to verify facts is a bit foolish.
UA-cam I found if you miss a few videos from someone it almost completely stops recommending them on the home page. As lots of people saw the last video I think this is why this video is getting more visibility.
I had to watch two or three videos a day for three days before I started getting recommendations from Shad again. As opposed to watching two minutes of one video from a guy I've never seen before and then half of my recommendations are from that guy's channel. And I'm still getting as many recommendations for Skall as Shad and I haven't watched one of his in about two months. (Nothing against Skall, he just hasn't been a priority)
It's painfully obvious that yutoub is completely corrupt. They make comments that state opinions that they don't agree with disappear for no reason. They try to limit content that they don't agree with. I'm disgusted by them. Right now though, they are the best content channel online. People need to make that change.
Yet UA-cam has no problem recommending me two channels with like 50 viewers each having beef with each other. Their recommendation system is entirely broken. If the people I'm subscribed too haven't uploaded, it takes me a solid few minutes to actually find something I will watch. This wasn't the case 10 years ago. My tastes have not changed drastically over that time, or at least not enough for that much of an impact. The "Don't recommend this channel to Me" feature doesn't work either, I have used it on Cenk's Nephew's videos so many times, and yet I still get his trash in my feed.
The three things I'm happy to see return:
Co-hosts in epic attire
Shad in his element (and awesome armor)
THE BEC DE CORBIN RESURRECTED!
Really appreciate this kind of unbiased review, especially since I'm considering adding one of those two Honshu swords to my armoury.
Great content, as always, guys.
I'm kinda hoping they review the honshu cavalry cutlass. Been eyeing that beauty for a while
Right on the front page as it should be!
A product designed to keep your head safe from high speed traumatic impact... and they're surprised its doing a decent job holding up against a high speed traumatic impact lol.
Plastic is pretty good when you chose the right type. Polycarbonate and hdpes might be better than wood. Only problem for the modren day is tiny energetic darts tend to melt through them since they are plastic.
to be fair, helmets are designed for highspeed blunt impact. it's expected to have face hit the road. something like a sword or knife is pressure over a smaller footprint which is going to be very different.
I'm personally not surprised but, I see why it could be.
@@TGPDrunknHick Still went the exact way I expected. I knew the helmet would tank everything except for the pick.
Bec has plot armor, can't be defeated.
Just pretend car doors don't exist
@@jacksonhorrocks4281 Now I'm no expert on the subject of history... but I don't believe FORD or GMC was around during medieval times.
I tried to wear a pheasant as a helmet
But I just couldn't seem to get my head in the game.
I quail at the thought
These jokes got me chicken out of here
I don't get it. It flew right over my head.
Some of these puns are a bit of ostrich.
Oh how wE MUst pun everything.
I’m getting notifications again.
I literally had the bell on but it didn’t give me them.
same
YewTub is now over-adjusting in order to convince the gullible that they weren't shadow banning Shad, heavens forbid!
Of course, they've regularly shadow banned my comments for imagined "hate" speech, so it's entirely likely this comment will never be seen.
That's why they are called NOtifications. Sometimes youtube says no.
Shadow ban 🔨
Same Here
Funny how after Shad calls out UA-cam I magically have their videos on my homepage again. I subscribed for a reason UA-cam!
The algorithm giveth, and the algorithm taketh away.
Use the subscriptions page!
I’m sad that UA-cam did this. Unfortunately I am not in a position where I can pay anyone for videos but I truly support you in the way I can I wish I could do more but I’m not able to at this moment. I will keep spreading the word about this amazing channel and I will continue watching and sharing encouraging words and commentating on your videos.
0:14 Ho mama. One day I’m gonna get a bec de corban and call it The Can Opener
The Man Opener is more accurate.
It's all well and good, until you get your bec stuck in a can and other cans rush you while you try to pull it out
Fun timing. Very recently, I bought 2 moyocycle helmets specifically for sword sparring. I had previously learned the hard way how messy it can be when a practice sword hits titanium glasses frames…
I love Bec de corbin, such insane weapon. All I could think of was: "Stop, he's already dead!"
Great video! and i did not even know i needed to know how a motercycle stands up to medieval weapons!, for the algorithm! so Shad can Feed his Shadlings, his Employes and Oz
Make a shield with carbon fibre layers on top of like an inch thick foam layer, then a plywood layer layer. The foam might allow flex and prevent or diminish penetration.
With how light it is I'm pretty sure you could just put it as the top layer of a pre-existing shield (kind of like the cloth/hide coverings) and roll with that.
Leaving a comment just to appease the algorithm. I truly don't want this channel to go away
My favorite weapon, THE BEC DE CORBIN!!
I second this
I am doing the only 3 things I can currently do, ring that bell, make sure to see (and sometimes, re-watch) your videos, thumb it up, and leave a comment so the algorithm doesn't kill you. I've followed you from the very beginning, and I really hope you pull of a magical recovery of sorts. All the best!
I've been queueing up some videos that I want to rewatch and just have them playing in the background whilst I clean the house, cook etc. when I'm WfH I'll even put them on my personal rig whilst I use my work laptop with the videos turned way down.
@@galenwolf Same man, I'm really hoping he manages to survive. However, our current society is a piece of garbage how'd rather waste 2h in a sempiternal doomscroll instead of watching a 15mins video of proper content. I am fearful for the future of some of my preferred channels.
Ooh, one of the OG’s. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Fun video And you know, Shad's right! I'd not considered that: a motorcycle helmet approach would make an excellent shield! Lightweight and padded vs. heavy blows. Nothing is safe from the Bec, though.
Tbf, I don't even think it did that badly against the bec. Yes, the bec got through, but it did take a pretty big full force swing to do so. It's not exactly easy to pull one of those off in combat.
There are ways to do it, but just the fact that you're limited to them reduces the amount of options you have by quite a bit.
Is there even the slightest chance that UA-cam realized we were on to their shenanigans and stopped blocking the notifications to avoid fallout?
Nope
@@rockinHurley777 😭I wish we were capable of triggering genuinely epic fallout
Kmart was put down. It can happen to youtube. Nasty ads encouraged at least a few people to get blockers. I know I have had rumble a few years but just am not useing it. (Yet). There are not people makeing stuff for it an I am not going to. (For now). Im sure youtube can get scared. When what their pushing gets rejected harder by at least half of the people that should I dont see them surviving with all their employees or all their algorithms that stalk you.
its all done by an unfeeling bot.
@@mrrooter601 The algorithm is a stalker
Okay, so can we get modern armor made with all the technologies?
Fiberglass.
Kevlar.
Impact Gel.
Cannot tell you how excited I was to see the opening clip!
Holy synchronization Batman! I am literally writing a novel where a character uses a dirtbike helmet as armour against medieval weapons.
What's the setting? Post apocalypse? Time travel? Something completely different?
@@Dfarreygarbage lol
@@therover4141 you belong in a zoo.
@Dfarrey urban fantasy. And yes, likely garbage.
@@iainbearyay2236 might be the best who knows man
My pole-arm preferences:
Not sure what armor you’ll face? Poleaxe

You dolt!
Where's the BILL!?
@@1stCallipostle The bill is hanging in my throne room in a place of honor. And as a backup weapon if all the expensive ones break 😅
@@1stCallipostle Oh, another idea:
Want your enemy to falsely assume you’re an untrained conscript and underestimate you, only to face the wrath of the common man? Bill
@@1stCallipostle One more:
Want to affordably arm all your friends too so you don’t gotta take on the baddie alone? Bill.
In all of these scenarios, name your personal weapon William to pretend you’re clever.
I can confirm, I have been subscribed for years and I legitimately have not been recommended any videos for at least two months. I get a lot from Knight's Watch and regularly watch those, but this is the first Shadiversity video I have seen in a long time.
"Recommended" aren't for subs, they're for what the algorithm thinks you might be interested in (which may or may not include subs). If you want your subs use you subs page, that what it's there for.
Thank goodness, I am getting notifications again!
Love ya shad. Been around a long time. Sad to see how youtube is treating you.
Happy to see anything you do.
Machicolations!!!!!!
Shad et al., I truly hope that this channel does not die. I absolutely love your content. I would be crushed if these videos are taken away!
praying for you, Shad. We love you.
21:50: Thing is, if you look at historical paintings, in many cases there are clear thic padded hoods under helmets.
Ooh, been curious about this for a bit, excited to see what happens
I'd be so sad if the channel goes down, I love all three of you and I think Nate and Tyranth have been a perfect addition to the channel. They fit in so well, it's never felt like other channels that hire new presenters and feel commercialised. I've been a supporter for six months and will continue to be.
Thanks so much
@@shadiversity Have you ever considered uploading content to Nebula? It's a subscription-based Streaming service that hosts 'deluxe' content by UA-camrs to bypass being demonetized or shadowbanned. Some of the UA-camrs who also upload to Nebula include Wendover Productions, Real Life Lore, City Beautiful, and TierZoo. These creators will upload a video to UA-cam, which ends in a plug for Nebula, and then upload a longer unabridged video to Nebula. Since Nebula is a subscription-based streaming service, it is not dependent on ad revenue and is therefore safe from demonetization or shadowbanning.
Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons has also started his own Streaming service, History of Weapons & War, in direct response to UA-cam actively targeting gun-focused channels for demonetization and shadowbanning. Besides Forgotten Weapons, other UA-camrs with a presence on the service include Bloke On The Range, British Muzzleloaders, Legacy Collectibles, and the Royal Armouries. History of Weapons & War is also subscription-based, so demonetization should not be an issue.
And if you aren't interested in joining either of the above-mentioned Streaming Services, you could always take the Lotus Eaters approach and start your own subscription-based Shadiversity Streaming Service, hosting Shadiversity and Shadlands videos, Knights Watch podcasts, and Game Knight let's-plays. It would also be a convenient place to sell _Shadow of the Conqueror_ and its sequels, Shadiversity & _Shadow of the Conqueror_ merch, and various Medieval-related products. You could also offer to host videos and merch for related/ allied UA-cam channels, such as Metatron, Lindybeige, Living Anachronism, Jill Bearup, Thegn Thrand, Micah Curtis, and maybe even Sargon's non-Lotus-Eaters/non-political content. As soon as you're able to get the Shadiversity Streaming Service its own Roku channel and its own app on Apple and Google's app stores, UA-cam demonetization will no longer be able to hurt you.
I love the Shadlands! The shorter videos really work for me. Thanks Shad and company.
May I suggest adding a 1 or 2 usd membership option? Specially for places with a weaker currencies.
Wife had been unsubscribed to her shock.
We have been binge watching your episodes
Have to go to bed, but I hope this interaction helps 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 will watch in full tomorrow.
That intro = BANG.
This video was in my recommended tabs at the 42 minute mark after creation. So, at the very least I can confirm it was recommended to me, a subscriber, close to its upload time.
Always love these videos. God speed Shad!
Keep doing the great work you do!
Love that we are getting the answers to lifes most important questions.
I watch often, but haven't subscribed until today. Now I can see if they stop recommending. Great stuff as always guys.
that sword shaved some steal off the helmet. that was impressive.
Wear all the armor you want, put as much distance between yourself and your opponent as you want. You cannot stop it. The crow's beak is inevitable.
It was good to see this, I was looking at that getting that two hander for a while now. Good to know it can take a beating
Hi Shad, I watched your video where you explained that, due to the changes in traffic, this channel might not be viable for much longer. I sincerely hope things pick up for you in the future because I see the passion and effort which goes into your videos, and that you have a genuine love for the stuff you talk about. I've always had an interest in medieval castles, but you have taught me quite a lot which I never even thought about. The world needs people like you to bring this stuff to life, and for the type of content you create, I really can't think of anyone better to create it. You're doing an awesome job. Best of luck going forward, and please try to keep your chin up.
Just subscribed to THE SHADLANDS - Don't forget to claim a username for that channel.
"It's unlikely that it'll hit my hands. But, I'll survive it." xD
Holey shot those hammer strikes were BRUTAL!!! Would not wanna be on the other end of a knight swinging one of those 💀
This is the first shadiversity video that i've seen recommended to me in quite some time, and i've been a sub for well over a year...probably two.
Hey, the notification bell worked this time. I hope you had fun wrecking that helmet^^ Can you repair the loose hilts/crossguards and rattling of the swords?
The chemistry and timing between the three of you is great.
Don't mess with the Crow Beak.
Don’t give up Shad! You have the best medieval content on UA-cam!
You guys should take advantage of shorts to boost engagement. I know some people whine about it, but I've come across many wonderful long-form videos because of shorts.
Just pick a minute from your latest video and post it as a short, and in a pinned comment and the description, add link to the full video.
Ugh.. shorts.. youtube trying to be tiktok to fuel these short attention spand knuckle draggers
Keep at it guys! I enjoy the mix of serious weapon history and fun fan fiction of weapons.
Technicaly the motorcycle helmet would protect you from more damage. The metal helmet would transfer waaaay more force to your head. Even though it would last longer than motorcycle helmet.

We will always support this Channel, shame on UA-cam for shadowbanning Shad
Nice video! 👍🏻 Glad to see this make it's way into my recommended tab!
Everybody feeling tough and gansta until the Bec de corbin enters the chat.
I've literally been wondering about this for about a week, randomly.
I really appreciate the safety focus!
The weird thing about this is that I still get notifications for Shad's videos, since I clicked the bell icon and all.
I genuinely get confused whenever people say they don't see the videos in their feed because doesn't that mean they just don't have notifications on? But there's also the fact that I saw a comment saying that even after clicking the bell, they weren't getting notified.
I usually check the notifications to see what channels have new uploads for the day and then save them to my watch later playlist.
Thumbnail went from a 7/10 to an 11!!! 🔥
I'm impressed with how good that helmet turned out to be. I'd definitely love to see a shield made out of it too & tested again arrows from different draw strengths.
I think you mentioned that you posted videos on rumble, I've heard youtubers speak about how if you post on that platform that youtube essentially blacklists your channel.
I do not know how valid this is, but it might be worth investigating. Either way its terrible seeing what they've done to your channel.
Ever showing the importance of pushing external platforms like discord even, so that when you notify people on those platforms youtube cannot prevent them from seeing it.
Very epic thumbnail guys, way to go on the visual design for this one.
No matter what form your future content takes, know that I and many others will continue to watch, i know you will make it through this.
Dang, the warhammer is a beast, but that motorcycle helmet took the beating like a champ, i wonder how well my department's old riot helmets would hold up.
For the first time in forever I actually saw this video on my feed! Love your stuff Shad and others
God Bless You!
Indeed
I can’t believe Shad didn’t take this opportunity to wear his gauntlets
So I didn't know if it's reflective of a larger trend, but the main channel videos are showing up in my feed again.
Never have had issues seeing your content. Everytime you post it always comes up
Are you finding them on the home page or your subscriptions page?
Mine popped up quickly this time Shad.
I know it's a simple thing but I love when you all flourish the swords. You obviously practice and you have such confidence. Whereas, I watch the dang blade like a hawk so as not to smack myself. Also, I love your videos. Please don't quit. You're one of my favorite creators.
Since your latest video, UA-cam has been recommending your videos non stop, and I'm so happy for it!
i cant wait to get through this video i bet its gonna be amazing!
First time the notification was sent out in the first hour for me.
I'm told it's about front page clicks. If the video is not selected it gets moved off the front page (mostly) when you go back to the front page.
Commenting to help with the fight for Shadiversity!
Shads channel is the best, I love all his content
This is the important stuff.
On here as soon as it appeared on my feed!
I'm happy to report that this video showed up in my feed as i would expect it to! have my watch time and engagement
when you are intent on spiking your advisary, swords could be good
yeeeaaaah finally recommended!
This video answers a question that I have needed answered for exactly 10 minutes(since it popped up in my notifications). Although I have only needed the answer for a short time, it is very much needed. Thanks, Shad and team! Keep up making great content!
this popped up pretty quickly for me Shad. Keep liking, commenting and sharing People. Break the Algorthim.
I support you guys, I want you guys to succeed!
Ooh this is going to be a good one.
Ah yes, hitting a motor helmet with a sword. Because why not
Just joined! Never give up Shad!!!! Love your videos!!
I owned one of the broadswords from Honshu.. Very nice blade . I touched up the edge a little and it was slicing very nice .Great blades over all .
