1. The entire resort except for the waterpark section has been demolished, its only a matter of months before demolition resumes and the water park section is torn down also.
2. "Hard to find..." Are you kidding me? We found it almost instantly.
3. Blame me, see if I care.
If I'm being honest, the quality of your work is no concern to me whatsoever. What I take issue with is you blatantly whoring out locations for likes. It doesn't matter that the rest of the resort was demolished, or that you believe that it will be demolished soon (though I've been told that they may be saving it for possible renovation someday).
While condemnable, showing the PoE alone isn't what makes this so bad. You also showed the name of the location in your video, and your attitude is just the icing on the cake. You've put a very interesting location in danger from arsonists, scrappers, and vandals just to make yourself seem a little cooler to a bunch of kids on the internet.
You take these locations and shine a spotlight on them, but your beam only becomes a beacon for all who would destroy them. You are not liked here not because of your photo qualities or even attitude, but because you consistently endanger locations time and time again just so you can boost your ego.

Edit: I'll play your little game, with your "stats"-
You've got whole threads of people telling you your photos and screen caps are absolute shit.
Most of those comments come from you and blackhawk. There are a total of about 30 triggered people on here constantly attacking me. Those numbers are insignificant.

No. I have not posted any videos with entry points in that hour. Defending myself on the forum is not against the rules.
Yes, well...

Nah, I think I'll keep making videos. Ain't about to fold to the haters haha.
I have lots of vids to watch as do most others here. Sucking up members time better worthwhile or this is what you'll get. You're throwing gasoline on your fire, again. In case you didn't notice... we like bonfires. A lot.

That waterpark is its own beacon. Its a giant building with bright multi-colored slides sticking out of it at the intersection of two highways, and it has like 30 articles written about it from local and statewide Newspapers. Jesus Christ couldn't hide that location. So when its futile to hide a location I don't try and hide it.
And while you accuse me of "whoring out locations for likes" check out all the locations and entry points I protected. In the following videos, I blurred out anything that would give the location away, and did not show the entry point to protect the places:
Try and find this location. I bet you can't because of the lengths we took to protect it from vandals, thieves, and arsonists. https://www.youtub...ch?v=sRHTRqGYMb8&t
How about this abandoned nightclub with power? First find it, and then figure out the entry point. Once you find it, you will not be able to find the entry point.
So quit your nonsense about me giving out locations/entry points in all my videos. This has nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with your own insecurity. And don't be upset because you finally found a decent location (the waterpark) that everyone in Chicago/Illinois has known about for 2 years, and now the location is out there. Go find some new locations that people don't know about yet.

You whine of others being 'triggered', but you feel so attacked you feel the need to edit a post ten times with a long windy rant and can of spam made up of your videos.
You are a puzzle.

Oh, I have. Just because I didn't put them online doesn't mean I haven't explored them- it just means that I had to make a choice between discretion and attention, and I made the responsible decision.

It took me less than half an hour to find the locations in the 1st, 2nd, and 6th vids. Even if you think your videos have nothing that reveal the location, you seem to invite a whole crew along every time, and between everyone's vids it's pretty easy to find the place. It's good you're taking some measures to hide the locations but you should know some people are always going to figure it out.
I think for most of the locations that you're doing videos on you aren't necessarily being that harmful since they're already pretty vandalized. However there are some other videos of yours that are pretty prime locations that you seem careless about protecting. A good practice for videos of prime locations is to avoid showing the exterior, especially if you're in a city, since there will almost always be some landmarks or identifying characteristics visible. Also you could sit on videos for longer rather than posting them right away, allowing a longer time period for the location to remain under the radar.
Anyway, most of the hate you're getting is directed towards the fact that you completely make up things or over-dramatize for clicks. If you want to keep playing the YouTube game then go ahead, but you're never going to be accepted by the real community of explorers if you keep doing that. Most people who are making your brand of videos have the self-awareness to not even bother with these communities, and I can't figure out if you're either just trolling or lack that self-awareness.

What everyone is missing here is he doesn't give a shit. Not about me, you, UER, locations, nothing. It's all about web traffic. Good likes, bad likes, it doesn't matter. It's all views. By posting a list of vids and daring us to find the location, he is just directing traffic to his YouTurd account where you can watch him talk to the camera with that smug grin and show his pathetic attempt at growing facial hair. Again, just like a Kardashian. Complete train wreck of a human that demands attention, good or bad.
