Desertify Urbex: Abandoned Places

Hello, and welcome to our channel! I am an Urban Explorer, photographer and Urbex Youtube creator with an academic background and passion for history, anthropology and English with a focus on Celtic Studies. I grew up in a creepy looking 1800s home that later became the abandoned "haunted house" of the town. In 2016 I made the decision to start photographing and capturing on video these abandoned locations that I explored until then as a hobby.

My recent focus has been on once great abandoned places, such as abandoned mansions, asylums and lost places. Currently I travel across the US, UK and Ireland to allow you to experience these places through me. I hope you enjoy the journey as we shine a light upon these forgotten places and bring their abandoned history back to life one last time.


Desertify Urbex: Abandoned Places

We are excited to be back and look forward to exploring with you all! After a hiatus we have returned with two new explores. You can find them at the links below. Every second Sunday at 2PM EST/ 7PM GMT we will be releasing a new exploration as we discover an abandoned world and its history!

Desertify Urbex: Abandoned Places

Hi, everybody! Today we are going live with our new channel membership option. You'll see this as a "Join" button next to "Subscribe". I'd like to say that I'm not big on merchandise, or donation schemes. It's why we don't have T-shirts, or a Patreon. However, Youtube has been pushing us and other creators to use their new Membership option and some of you had asked about how you could contribute and help us to make videos. I ended up posting our explanation video on our membership rollout early by accident, so we are going to run with it. First off, I'd like to say thank you to all of you that have stuck around through thick and thin and helped us grow over the past 3 years. It's been a journey and it's exciting to know there are others like yourselves who value a good story, and the obscure histories of abandoned sites. It's something we aren't going to be changing, and I think why many of you are still here watching. With that said, it's been an expensive journey, where we've never broken even. We currently find ourselves very close to many amazing places and are going to be covering a new region in coming videos. If you'd like to help make it easier for us, we'd be grateful. If you can't, that is okay too! We are in a global pandemic, with many facing hardships, and disruption in their lives. We understand and are glad for your comments and likes. To those of you who do sign up, here's what you will get as a thank you:
Member - $1.99 USD Special emojis, member badges that we had specially commissioned, and special members-only Community Tab posts and polls.
Supporter - $4.99 USD Special clips access, and free desktop and phone wallpapers of our abandoned photography (I will post up links today for members).
Patron - $19.99 USD Your name mentioned in each new video for as long as you are a Patron.

Desertify Urbex: Abandoned Places

Hi, everybody! We are busy working on the next video and also the rollout of a major new feature. Like many current channels on Youtube, we will be creating voluntary memberships. This will be a way to support our channel where you will gain access to things like special posts, high-quality abandoned photography (watermarked) for use as mobile or desktop wallpapers, shout-outs, special emojis, and member badges. It's not going to be a rushed release as we have some custom items being made for you by artists, so stay tuned. Also, please be aware that this will not detract from what is already available and these new features will just be a special thank you for your patronage.

Desertify Urbex: Abandoned Places

Hi all. I realize many of you did not read my book-like post on the channel status, so I wanted to post a synopsis on what is going on. In short, we have moved to Wales, are in school and will be here for at least a year. So where does this leave us as a channel? It's an interesting place with a lot of exciting potential and possibilities. Here are a few things to watch for:
1) We are closer than ever before to many planned explorations of both modern, medieval and ancient sites.
2) We now have many tools that were unavailable to us before in regards to mapping, databases, history and possible site access.
3) A newly set up recording studio is going to allow other types of new video content.
4) We will be working on a possible variety of projects, talks, videos and other collaborative pieces with the school and government program. Some of this I may include in videos or feature here in updates.
5) We have a small backlog of US side explores coming up next once the internet is fixed, followed by new explores in Wales. Future explores may feature other Welsh urbex creators I have spoken to.
6) We are not stopping or sacrificing the quality of the pieces, and the histories will still be a major feature. However, we will be busier than before and thus likely slower to release videos than before.
7) I hope to bring you some of the natural beauty and scenery of Wales, and show you why it's a truly special place with unique ruins and stories of its abandoned places.
8) We aren't going to forget what made you all love to watch us and to stay over the years!

Thank you all for being amazing, and here's to a great 2021!

*HELP BREAK YOUTUBE BY LIKING THIS POLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Simply Vote in the poll and like the post and we will EXPLOIT A GLITCH IN THE YOUTUBE ALGORITHM! Today we will demonstrate just how broken polls are by creating the MOST LIKED COMMUNITY POLL! The system is so broken and today we are going to break it even more!!!

But how will it get shown to everyone? Simple If I include all of the algorithmically correct trending terms in this message then YouTube will show it to everyone! Do your part to support this by liking the post and commenting on it! Perhaps YouTube might take this message and rework the community post feature and make it so that random people not subscribed to me do not get BOMBARDED by abandoned places pictures!

To prove just how broken it is if you are not subscribed to this channel leave a comment saying so. I can track just how Borked this system is!

So time for some perfectly balanced SEO that breaks the algorithm:

We can include terms like baby shark and pewdiepie to really broaden the audience and then spice it up with some among us and Minecraft crossed with the hit new youtube sensation that is rust on the OTV server featuring twitch funny moments from jackscepticeye. I also have to mention music, asmr and markiplier that are all important terms here on youtube. Let us not forget of course the makeup and fashion community by referencing shane dawson and james charles. Now whilst this is COMPLETE GIBBERISH to most an algorithm is able to pick out the specific key terms in this post and promote it accordingly. So lets support the Kpop stans by mentioning bts and lofi hip hop. We can even talk about some other big channels like mrbeast and dantdm. For some reason in 2020 some of the most searched tags are game of thrones and avengers endgame... Let us of course not forget the most important things of the year like dunke peppa pig and roblox! Time for all the top current searches Among Us - online game, new song 2020, pop smoke and techno gamerz and tubbo smp! Time For todays new aditions in SEO too: Thanos, fifa, joe biden, inauguration, Tommy, sidemen, mod, update, rt game, yogscast, the spiffing brit, game, predator, fortnite update, fortnite predator, boss! Lets glitch the youtube algorithm
