John, why don’t you just make yourself a NEW THREAD where you can share with the class what’s on your mind, and, here’s the shocking part, then it would actually be ON TOPIC to discuss whatever this is?? Or is it just more you’re style to crash other people’s party by making their threads devolve into an excrement extravaganza? SERIOUSLY, can’t you at least keep your passive aggressive crap in your own damn topic threads!?
 
Once Again Alex, You've Gotten It Wrong

And remember, YouTube has recently relaxed their fair use rules as stated above. As recent as February 2020, "Great Vacs" used a short clip of me vacuuming a mattress without crediting me as the author. Please see the attached screenshot #3 of my Copyright claims. The other claim was from December 2018.

I have not committed perjury in any way shape or form as my work is clearly in your video at time stamps 2:52-2:57 as shown above. And YouTube has 100% agreed that it does appear in the video as they stated in this sentence.

"We believe the content is protected by fair use, fair dealing or similar use of copyright protection."

What that statement means is that they SEE MY WORK, but it is now protected by their recently relaxed rules. Even if you obtained that screenshot from another channel, it is still clearly my work.

BTW, I've never cared if someone uses my work for commentary. What bothers me is when that channel refuses to acknowledge where it came from. In the educational and professional world, it is required to cite proper references. You didn't here.

In picture #1 your video clearly shows my work beginning at 2:52. The left third is you and the right two thirds is CLEARLY me.

You can see:
1) Both my hands and knee
2) My New Balance shoes
3) My cardboard airflow box with my Mohawk test carpet on top
4) My Dyson DC65
5) My GM8901 with a 984 FPM reading
6) Thomas Recetenwald's Red Hoover Windtunnel 3
7) My blue Kobalt toolbox in the background
8) Thomas Rectenwald's leg in the background
9) Blue lettering in the upper right hand side that says "WT" and "DC6"

Not only have I not broken any YT rules and not committed perjury, you owe me an apology for claiming that I did. I'll wait.

Bill

Well, I certainly

understand the holiday. That wasn't meant to smear the holiday. My likeness was placed at a crematorium at a death camp.
I abhor all of the atrocities that happened there. Insinuating someone holiday baking there is a whole other thing. Right?
My point WAS about people taking another's image, video, etc and putting it where it shouldn't be. To keep on focus with vacuum cleaners, lots of people post pics of their collectors' vacs and use them as an ebay item.
I've recognized my friend Tom A.'s rugs, cleaners, etc. in photos. People have used mine too. I have no problem. Copyrights can be tricky. Sometimes, no issuer at all. I always enjoy seeing contest, comparisons, etc. about vacuums.
That's all I was getting at.
 
It’s a shame when someone like vac lab uses valid data to backup his points and certain people just crap all over him. It’s discouraging. Grow up and move on! Who cares about the copyright issue if vaclab wants to copyright his content let him after all he is the content creator. Take a chill pill.
 
YouTube has become so bad with forcing you to watch ads before the video you really want to see. It's so bad I won't even go to youtube any longer. Spoiled it for everyone. Let's say you want to hear Celine sing a song. Go to youtube, and wait for five minutes while every ad for everything you will never buy flashes in front of your eyes. By the time Celine is ready, I don't care anymore.
 
@kloveland @desiredname
@wavid
Not sure you read through all the replies or looked at the whole picture I would encourage you to watch the reply video.

Differences in testing aside.
What has happened is Bill tried to make a false copyright strike.
Which was a very malicious thing to do.
In this case he happened to commit a crime of perjury by doing so.
Why I could care less what you think of me or my videos.

This sort of behavior should not be tolerated in our community.
 
Exactly

Wtf is up with this thread. You basically told vaclab to lay off. You tube made the decision you can piss and moan and cry about it. It's a waste of time and emotion.
Vaclab doesn't like the youtube decision but tough. Then we go off track maybe off planetery course. Then vaclab apologists give him an atta boy justifying him.
 
I was looking forward to a good debate about different vacuum testing methodologies and their pros and cons. I seen many differences of opinions/tests on what vacuum cleaners do the best work and would be nice to learn more about why testers arrive at their conclusions. Hopefully either this or future threads can be more of a discussion/civil debate.
 
@briant73 me too ,but unfortunately the state of vacuumland with the lack of adminstration action has led to this. That's why I primarily post other places that are far more civil and more populated.
 
What? $15 a year. No thank you. I went on YouTube exactly twice in the entire year of 2020, to hear Celine sing something. All the advertisements have killed YouTube. Who would want to sit through all that advertising?
 
@vacuumdevil - Form what I’ve read you mostly rag on Bill for his testing methods and his high praise for Kirby. The harassment goes beyond this thread. I wish we could all get along. But sadly I don’t think that will ever happen.

I have found some of your repair videos helpful. However the constant need to prove Bill wrong. Is really annoying.
 
@kloveland look at how the thread started. A video and a simple discussion on a testing and diagnostic tool. I specifically said in that video "we'll talk about air box testing another day".
He's got his methods and opinions and has a whole YouTube channel to let it all out on.
I had not concerned myself with Bill in this thread until I got 4 very Disturbed replies.
I made a quick response video to clarify everything.
This seem to upset Bill to the point of attempting to somehow hurt me by making a false copyrights strike.

My replies in this thread have been about conduct and a malicious intent by Bill.

Unfortunately things have gotten derailed that no talking of vacuum cleaners has gone on. A sad State of affairs.

@lesinutah Like I said in my reply videos why in the past I've poked fun of him. In this particular thread there's been no attempt to get a rise out of him.

@dysonman1 For more than a decade I've surfed the internet ad free.

I’d like to see how the Electrolux vacs do through the years. A lot of bitching here, this site has helped me out on my vacs, I listen to YouTube, so what on the ads, I’m not paying. I use it for free, ad me bitches.
 
Alex

Thank you so much. Now I’ll be able to watch more of YouTube. You’re the first person who ever explained how to block ads to me. I sincerely appreciate it.
 
I know

I was talking in general. I'd didn't want to go in too much depth in the post fearing an essay response.
You have the best teaching people how to repair and maintain vacuums on you tube. Anyone can do a test but fixing vacuums requires more skill.
 
Curious what other sites than here, YouTube , and Reddit vacuum cleaners, do people use for vacuum resources?
