Love the sound of the DDEC 2 strokes searching for the right timing for the fuel and air ratio

Youtube videos are great in many ways. I watch and learn myself from them, but, after seeing first hand how badly the Monkey screwed up the engine in that Buffalo GM, I would not let him anywhere close to my bus.

Ivan videoed the damage as they rebuilt in Mohave Az, it was extensive. All those vids are now gone.

That was part of the hush money deal when Yvan got all his money they would come down the last I heard as they say money talks and BS walks

I just watched them on YouTube. They were still up a week ago. Would be interesting to hear an explanation from Scott how this happened.

I have question why would you pay to watch a video when they make their way to Utube later that puzzles me for some reason ,is it a revenue from both or what ?

Lots of YouTube channels also have a Patreon setup. Usually it gives you access to videos early, but often also includes some videos and other content which is not available to YouTube. Some vloggers also hold Q&A events or other events specially for the Patreon subscribers which are usually much nicer due to the smaller crowds in attendance. Of course, there are also some that want to chip in and help out for a variety of reasons.

I subscribe to a number of Patreon channels for vloggers with weekly content. I'd put their work as valuable and as entertaining as the stuff people pay much more for through Google or other places people buy content. All depends on what interests you.

There you go - don't need a reason, just open up your pocketbook and "help out".

In a lot of ways, people use YouTube like musicians use the street corner in a tourist area. If people feel they got enjoyment out of the music they can drop a few coins in the hat. No requirement for any one to contribute. There are some who produce content which others feel is valuable, and they are able to make a living with their content. Some have a large enough following to monetize their brand as well. To each his own in this regard.

Don Clifford's opened his wallet to help others more than you know, unlike other's he just won't talk about it....
