      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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.
