i dont mind you posting up your vids as there good info
where i do find it unfair is your wanting people who want a chance to win it
to be forced up to creating an account with google/youtube so that they can post on your video
im not keen on the data collection for creating said account and i dont want a youtube account either
under advise reference here
you should mention on your vids that you will have to make a google/youtube account and from my last visit to try to create a youtube account it also wanted to create an email address and google account with verifications as well ( phonenumber verification )
just for a youtube account

Its a modern way of growing business, like it or not. My Mrs won a 500 quid hamper last week through something similar!

its a modern way of being careless with your data
when you give away your details to anyone who might not look after your details or even sell them to others
I was actually being fair to doubleboost by mentioning what i have done
whilst doubleboost advertises its free its actually not
its also not for doubleboosts benefit either so not for doubleboosts business either
to create an account on youtube your gifting your data to google not towards doubleboost business either
name, address, ip address, and geo linked phone number
personally i dont want all of that crap
i also dont want to be geolinked either ( they know exactly where you are )
so is it free for me and others nope
can i or others post on doubleboosts feed either nope
has youtube changed yes your restricted by the uk geo lock thats why it states youtube gb that means you get less searches outside of the uk
at one time youtube included many videos outside of the uk
its censorship of the internet by geo location and youtube is using it

since you brought that up and by looking at your post count now look at mineI’m amazed you’re not a share holder, let alone an account holder!
Gaz bloke?
Just amazed really, who is this gaz bloke that puts up loads of vids that don’t really relate to anything?

ive been fair by mentioning that doubleboost should mention on his videosDon't bother entering then Gaz, one more chance for someone else to win it.
that anyone that wants to enter the draw has to create a google account before they can enter the draw as that was said on my very first post
as doubleboost dosnt actually mention that on his give away videos

But I've already got a Google account, so I do get to enter for FREE.
And how many of them contain links to YouTube videos?
It's only a bit of banter, to be honest I don't like creating these kind of accounts either if I can avoid it....
No you dont, your supposed to have to, but there are ways around it that shall not be mentioned in public forums. Same as facebook "real name" policy.
I think its sufficiently well hidden that while google are aware of it, they dont want to invest money to lock it down for the miniscule % of their userbase doing it for privacy reasons.
The only time they do go after that sort of account is when complaints are investigated against it (hate speech) or it farms clicks costing them money.
If you won with a anon account, I'm sure you could dm doubleboost here and tell him who you really are outside the google bubble.

What business is it of yours?
It's a Youtube competition, if you don't want to create an account, then don't. Simple as that.

All I am trying to do is get more people to subscribe to my channel.
If it were not for subscribers and add revenue there would be no youtube .
The last thing I want to do is "force" anyone in to having a youtube account and keeping youtube alive .
If you notice I never put adverts on any of my give away videos .
Youtube is a vast store of knowledge that is free to access .

Ignore 'im, John. Your input here and on youtube is greatly valued, both for the educational and humour benefits.
There are always people who will pick holes and those with a cupboard full of tinfoil hats tend to be better at it.
I watch your videos just about every Sunday night, plus a few other nights. You give stuff away on a regular basis, including stuff you've had restored or you've bought yourself - unlike some YouTube channels which seem to exist in order to receive valuable items from their audience to increase their collection of tools and machinery and refer to them as 'care packages' as if they are some sort of deserving cause.
Personally I think you have struck a pretty good balance between monetizing your channel and pursuing your hobby - cameras and mics cost money, videos take time to produce, you give away tools every month and we get to watch the results for nothing. And we also get the choice to not watch them. I can't see any problems with that.

Especially when they've posted countless Youtube links on here.
You couldn't make it up!
