    I see a lot of channels are full of so much rubbish and here you are presenting very tastefully prepared historical work, and they decide against it.

    Oddie, you are the only creator whose work I intentionally watch multiple times. I’m always struck by the fact that people, their motivations and weaknesses, have not changed in the passage of time. Only the surroundings and instruments give a clue to the time frame of the story. Thank you again for not leaving us without access, we know you don’t have to post here and we’re eternally grateful for your man of the people persona. Oh, the holiday videos are fascinating in and of themselves, but they’re also a day with the oddities, our favorite people. More please!

      Well that is indeed a great compliment my friend, and very much appreciated.
      Yes human nature has not changed much at all, we would like to think that we have evolved, and indeed our quality of life and social laws has come along way, at least here in the west, but emotionally we are still the same creatures.

    *After asking for a review after the video was demonetised immediately, and the review being rejected, I wrote to TH-cam asking for an internal review, and to scroll through my subscribers comments to understand how ridiculous their decision was to demonetise it in the first place....it worked! Thank you my dear friends :)*
    I have also started a new channel on Vimeo - which at the moment I'm using to slowly post videos that YT have demonetised, as some of the newer subscribers may not have seen them, because YT doesn't recommend as much...or not at all.

    I'm going to be posting on TH-cam selected previously locked Patreon videos that are approximately 1.5 (one and a half) years old. This is one of them.
    Many, many thanks to my patrons on Patreon for enabling me to keep going - bless you all!
    Some of the topics discussed on the 'blah blah' towards the end of video, because of the upload date, may no longer be relevant. Later videos are more graphic in content, and will most certainly be demonetised by TH-cam; nevertheless, thanks to my loyal Patreon patrons, I will eventually post them here too despite TH-cam's advertiser friendly policy. Link to my Patreon page and other sites under the description :)

      There are people on youtube live streaming who use very raw language and routinely drop F bombs yet their channels are fully monetized. What is going on here? Oddie, Is the decision to demonetize actually made after review by a human being or is it done after some sort of algorithmic audit or review? I do not believe that the word "brothel" Or the mention of a woman who was a prostitute in the 1800s would be enough or should be enough to demonetized any channel. I have my suspicions though that perhaps if they're using some sort of search where looking for specific keywords on which to base demonetization that this might be the clue and could be based on Helen's last name.

      ObsoleteOddity I fail to understand why TH-cam demonetizes works like this, while allowing a number of channels to post sexualized footage of underage girls under the pretence of them being models...with followings comprised almost exclusively of fully grown men. It makes no sense at all, but we have your back Oddie. We will not allow your tasteful work to be denied its worth. 🖤🇨🇦

For example, I have ADHD, so yeah, you'll notice I'm a little off but realize if you really listen, I'm intuitive and more intelligent than may come across at first, but because I have ADHD according to c&y, makes me an unfit mother.. but it's just okay for our son's dad to not take care of his diabetes and be found and have to go to the er with a blood sugar of 14! Near death. If I mess up. I'm irresponsible. But what is it for say our nonverbal autistic son has no idea what wth is going on when his dad is just passed out on the floor. We're not together.

    This was an amazing story, so sad but not uncommon for the time. Still today women murdered who work in the sex trade are often overlooked or demonized because of their occupation. It's sad that Mr. Robinson got away with murder. You did a wonderful job with this piece!

      Oddly enough, men who work manual labor are treated the same way when they're killed by old useless equipment and safety tools. Is a damn shame really. Those boss who are too cheap to keep their workers safe are murderers.

      It is nearly impossible to investigate prostitutes' murder cases because they meet complete stranger on a daily bases .... almost all murder cases carried by a stranger are impossible to crack and unless the stranger murderer is a serial killer, they are impossible to catch.
      saying that theses cases and the women involved are demonized or overlooked is not true.

They dig her up, then autopsy her and then reduced her to a skeleton to be hung and gawked at. 😔If a soul ever had a reason to haunt the shit outta someone. It's her. How sad indeed😔No justice is there at all even remotely. So so sad.

I was fascinated and looked for videos about it, but there were only two at the time, one of which was terrible. I bought a book about her and she’s one of my favorite crime stories. Good job on the video, keep up the good work.

    Being a courtesan was never the safest choice f career. For a young women, (anymore than it is today). She appeared to have both beauty and intellect, although threatening a client is never the wisest course of action. Clearly, she was a celebrated beauty or her murder would not have been such a publicized event.
    I suspect the blandishments of fine gowns and gentlemen callers of social standing struck her as preferable to the hard work and low wages of servants at the time. It was all a rather sad story, but by no means an uncommon end
    for women in her profession, although those employed in the finer brothels had a stronger measure of protection.
    Thank you for bringing us another peek into history, enlivened by your clever animations.
