Who knows, my "swearing" might actually get the attention of more people because it might elicit a different emotional response in them that gets them more fired up about the issue.
Use bit.ly or something.
"Impressed these fraudsters can still get money for this crap idea. Is this the new American dream? Figure out some BS idea that has a hint of reality and milk investors for everything you can with fancy marketing?"
"What happens to these jokers went the house of cards finally falls? Do they walk on to the next BS idea and repeat?"
Most railways in Europe are electrified, with support towers every few meters to hold the busbar and the power supply cable, along with trackside control cabling. It would be easy to place an extra tower as support, and a tie bar on top attached to the standard one, to hold a lattice frame structure that is positioned well above the electric rail and supply, which you can use to hold solar panels on at an appropriate angle. You already have the power cabling there for the train, so all that is needed is an appropriate inverter to convert the panel output to something the train uses voltage wise. If the train uses AC then you can feed back into the grid with no extra equipment, or if DC then you are using solar power to operate trains instead, or you need to upgrade the power supply for the rails so they can act either as power supplies or as inverters to the grid, depending on the voltage on the rail. Would also allow regenerative braking to return power to the grid instead of being dissipated in voltage regulator modules if the train dumping energy is the only one on the particular segment.
It's not a matter of Political Correctness, it's a matter of child friendly forums.
bit.ly is banned because it could link to a malicious page, and the moderator will still check out the video regardless. I wouldn't click on a bit.ly regardless.
Personally if I want something I'm passionate about to reach a wide audience then I'd consider how to market that idea. If my presentation style gets me banned from every single forum outside of this one, then I'd just be preaching to the choir. That's great for my ego, but a fail by any other criteria.

Yes, thats exactly what they do.
Got data to prove that using the word "bullshit" in a debunking video has an actual large detrimental effect?
...
Wrong, it's a matter of me doing and saying what I want on my channel.

I must also agree with bitslice on this one...
I lament the fact that while, for example, my nephews are showing real, budding, interest in electronics and I would love to introduce them to your channel because it has all sorts of meaningful, insightful and educational content, it is going to unfortunately be many years yet before I can in good conscience point them to your channel due mainly, simply, to your profanity.
And your experience in the field of psychology is?

"Bullshit" ... is nothing compared to what gets used by 'kids' out in public/ school etc these days . Take a ride on public transport and just listen to a group of younger ones talking.
Empirically, as an English person, swearing is right up there with our class system as a means to separate people who all look the same.
Whenever the topic comes up on other forums the gushing plebs post the same solar roadways promotional
PG rated moves have worse language than what Dave comes out with. One F bomb in nearly 900 (or is it more than 900 if you count the second channel?) videos is a pretty darn good ratio of NOT swearing.
So you won't be invoking the class system by calling anyone plebs then?
If you go posting it to other channels, then that's your editorial decision not Dave's
And your experience in the field of psychology is?Swearing is used as a coping mechanism, but the listener experiences stress as a result. Every culture has linguistic taboos and every culture reacts negatively to such transgressions.

Yes it's your channel
And precisely where any argument ends.
Seriously. When I hear arguments like this about my content, it actually has the opposite effect on me
...
I could have got it linked on a much bigger forum than this but I got banned for trying.
...
Nope, people don't work that way, in England if you swear they instantly regard you as a bit thick, in that if you can't communicate in a controlled manner then you probably can't think logically either. Whatever you say is just dismissed.
Although people then quote Stephen Fry as a counter to this, the reaction is pretty universal.
(and Fry is a hypocritical poser because he never swears on camera himself)
And precisely where any argument ends.M'kay, I'm not making or seeking an argument with you, yet you always jump straight to being offended.
But yes, they Brits are a lot more sensitive about the actual words. In the USA/Australia you could call a TV series "Bullshit!" and get away with it. Not in the UK.
