    Utube has wrecked some good channels. I really hate what they've done over the past couple years. The world needs a new platform.

    TH-cam is all about covering up what a real family looks like! That's all this is about!!

    It’s so sad to see the depravity that has taken over American media! 😡😤 It’s why I don’t watch American TV or movies anymore. And it’s why I prefer to watch TH-cam channels such as this. I live in Japan and although it’s not perfect it’s far more civil than most top tier countries. Thank you, Rhodes Family!

    This is necessary, I can see why you would have to book an appointment with a lawyer... This is a great disappointment and time consuming for yourselves. It seems a bit of an overstretch from a creator's point of view. Very limiting for you... BitChute is another platform that creators are using to put up video content.. Have a look.!! Less of an overstretch is preferred by some... It seems to have fewer restrictions and a reward system in place. Not everything is family viewing...

    I wondered when this was coming. You've no idea how much joy your family brings to me. I've never watched TV or movies, or subversion as I like to call it, but I like anything gardening/homestead/kids related. This sounds so weird, but I've honestly grown to love your family, especially those awesome kids. It's so nice to see something so honestly wholesome.
    I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday tomorrow!

    You are raising your children the way children use to be raised, I watch because the are raised to respect and do chores. The children now days have no respect or honor

    COPPA is bunk! Kids programs on TV have had and still have commercials geared to them. Is that a double standard?

    Love you guys so much, you are the reason we are now brave enough to move our family halfway across the country in a couple months to pursue our own dreams of homesteading!!! Now to watch the video 😆😄

    @AlpacaMade 4 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    We just made the same decision for our other channel and because we want to retain the family friendly audience, we added a disclaimer. On a brighter note; the young master builder leaps forward to his own shop! Well done. Isn't that the way growth is, one day you seem to be standing still and then whoosh you've jumped forward ;)

    @calhoun1968 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Don't worry too much. We will be going through a bit more of a rough patch, but TH-cam is about to be beaten into submission by more than one U.S. state, the entire EU and the TH-camrs Union (FairTube). TH-cam refers to all content providers as employees, there is a big stink with them breaking the laws of employee basic rights etc. Any way..., Peace, Love and Light to you all!!!

    I receive emails from you on occasion, does that mean I am on your list? To my knowledge, I have not signed up or anything, but I definitely want to me on and receive any notifications as to what your family is going to do with the changes on TH-cam.
    You are one of my absolute favorite channels!😄 I look forward to every vlog. My goal is to have my own, self sufficient, regenerative homestead and you have given me so much teaching and inspiration!! Thank you so much!

    Yeah your channel is not targeting children. I'm not a expert but I would assume targeting children would be like toys and anything that is made for kids. Family friendly is different so you should be good.

    If you do leave youtube do patreon i know i would pay a few bucks to watch you. I never get tired of watching you and yours. Your channel brings so much happiness even to non homesteaders like myself. The only thing i can keep alive is a philadendrion and a small rescue long haired Dodson. But it's my dream to own a homestead.

  • @alanparadise3139
    @alanparadise3139 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    We love watching your videos with our kids, as your kids are good examples of hard work, respect, respecting and caring for animals, and helped us show our kids what we were thinking of doing. We just got a poultry netting and want to get chickens and pigs and helped us talk to our kids about our plans to clear our brushy pasture.
    You guys are such a great family to watch.
    Sure thankful for you all.
    We’ve bought several of your learning videos. You need more easily accessible info about your membership. Like a link in every videos. With a main page with info on it.
    I found you from you tube suggestion from Art and Bri. From looking up info on chickens. I had NEVER considered pigs in a MILLION years! Hahahaha and now I’m looking to do crazy things! Our kids were swarmed by wasps this summer (my 4 year old was stung so many times, I stopped counting after 70). So we HAVE to take charge of this property.

  • @wildedibles819
    @wildedibles819 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Farm life is Adult entertainment the way I see it... You teach us Adults and if we wish to use your content to help teach our kids your ways we would be right there watching with them cuz... Well you show farm life mating and butchering but this is not for all children... And any child will have questions and needs a parents guidance not just watching you by themselves

    @s38hyler 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Go ahead and add your videos to bitchute and some of the other platforms that way you can get views there too and it might make up for where you're losing a lot of views on TH-cam I can't remember what the other one is but bitchute is one of them. You can have them on multiple platforms and it's a good Back-up Plan I'm seeng a lot of political people that do news that have branched out to multiple platforms they are still on TH-cam and that is their main Channel but some of them when you upload the TH-cam automatically uploads it to the other site I think that is bitchute but I'm not sure but that's what I would do if I were you have itt on multiple platforms. That way if something with ever happened to TH-cam then you already have an audience on another platform
