Audio is provided, email from audiopub

Description:
Heads up, it's likely that this post is going to get removed soon, so please read below and listen to the audio as soon as you can before the admin team removes it.
So I woke up this morning to quite an aggressive email, and I'm done with being quiet about this.
First of all, let's address the larger issue. the content warnings. This isn't the first time I've uploaded something in regards to violence. But here's the thing: I've read your TOS backward and forward. It never states that there are strict limits on what to upload, and instead, it has this line about "being respectful." Let's be real for a second. The world isn't respectful. The audio clips I upload here are real events—primary source material from things that have actually happened. Are you expecting me to document reality but only the nice, sanitized parts? Should I start adding bleeps over the difficult recordings??
The last time this happened, I uploaded all three audio viewpoints from the attempted Trump assassination. My goal wasn't to get attention or be edgy. It was to provide unfiltered information. At the time, news stories were conflicting, and people didn't know what to believe. I provided the raw audio so people could hear it for themselves and make up their own minds, without a news anchor telling them how to feel. The feedback I got from people I talked to was that deleting it was a stupid move and that threatening to ban me was even worse. Yet, this is the email I got. I've held onto it for almost a year.
Subject: You have been warned on Audiopub for Disturbing Content and very Close real life vialance
Hello keoku,
You have received a warning on Audiopub. You have exactly 24 hours to get those recordings related to the assassination attempt off this platform. If they’re not deleted by then, your account will be banned permanently. The sooner the better.
Thanks,
Audiopub
No discussion, no questions, just a 24-hour ultimatum. "The sooner the better"? It sounds less like a platform admin and more like a threat. You claim you want "unrestricted respectful content," but the second something gets a little too real, you send out the enforcers. I'm honestly surprised you didn't just ban me this time. You seemed so eager to do it before.
Next. This new email talks about how I supposedly "spam upload." I want to sincerely apologize to any actual users who might be annoyed by that. That was never my intent. But for the Audiopub team to come at me the way they did? Unacceptable. A simple, polite email would have been fine. "Hey, we notice you tend to upload in large batches. For better engagement, you might want to consider spacing them out." But no. You had to come in with the "big man on campus" energy: "Hey! You have this habit you've been doing for a while now! Stop it!"
Listen, I believe in quality over quantity. Some of us have jobs, families, and complicated lives that don't revolve around a rigid content schedule. I'm not a full-time creator. I post when I find something of quality that I think is worth sharing. If I'm gone for a few weeks or months and then post several things at once, what is the actual problem? If other users don't like my content, there's a revolutionary feature called a "keyboard." They can just... keep scrolling. Everyone else seems to grasp this concept.
Finally, let's talk about your latest accusation: that I'm just ripping my uploads from other places. You say, "If they were originals, that wouldn't be an issue." First off, yes, some of my content is sourced. But you have absolutely no way of knowing what's what. Are you Cross-referencing every upload with the entire internet? I doubt it.
And what's your definition of "original" anyway? If I capture audio from a police scanner, is that not an original recording? If I spend hours editing, cleaning up, and compiling clips to make a coherent file, is my labor not original? Your definition seems conveniently flexible—you use it to make baseless accusations whenever you feel like it. It's clear you're more concerned with where you think I got the audio than the actual content, which is a complete betrayal of what this platform is supposed to be about. It's lazy, and it's unfair.
This may very well be my last post. It's clear things are heading in a direction I can't support.
Rant over. But I know I can't be the only one who has been strong-armed by the Audiopub team. Who else has gotten a threatening email over a non-issue? And I want to apologize to everyone reading this. I'm not trying to be a smartass, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the community. I just have to call it like I see it. This whole situation, and the way this is being handled, is just stupid and dumb. There's no other way to put it.

most people are very aware of the dark things that compose our reality, but audio pub is a website that's dedicated to escape such a dark reality. and + that missile clip sounded tarifying, and and people just have very, very vivid imaginations that makes them imagine the worsed scenarios. especially from a real life clip like that.
I do agree on your uploads being spammy though.
bscross32 - 08/13/2025
The only thing I'll say is that it's not an open platform for sharing audio if there is going to be rules. There are no rules laid out anywhere for people to see. And also, when we start throwing around words like trauma and insensitive, I dismiss the person as a crybaby liberal and no longer take them seriously.
Other than that, yeah, you basically ripped shit off other places and spammed the fuck out of the site, so I get that part.

I don't think this post will be removed like you said. Would be very sad to see you gone though.
Talon - 08/13/2025
idk man some of us are also on tiktok and youtube and have seen all of these videos. so we know they're just rips. you don't even credit where you got them from.
Khosro - 08/13/2025
even instagram didn't remove that file that you uploaded anyway so I guess audiopub is more sensetive
keoku - 08/13/2025
I didn't think credit was ever required. Not once did I request money from any content I uploaded. Unless anyone asked me, I don't see the point.
Talon - 08/13/2025
wtf? because you didn't make it and you might wanna be respectful towards the original creator? and people might want to figure out what it is and follow them? it's just a nice thing to do. jfc
RealisticAudioDesign - 08/13/2025
I agree with Ironcross here. There needs to be a specific set of rules written somewhere on the website otherwise it's logical to assume anyone can just upload whatever. I think that was what ended up destroying The Any Audio network because there wasn't a specific documented list of rules so all that adult content was fair game.
keoku - 08/13/2025
Let me restate what I was saying. if anyone had asked me what the audio came from, I'd have 0 issue teling them. However, noone asked. I also have no idea of who created most of the audio I do upload, so if someone asked, I'd say tiktok, etc. But Not all the time do I need to be like, Hey guys I got this off of tiktok.
SweetDaddyRizz - 08/13/2025
What's the song from the "How Deriacore is actually produced" video? Sounds based.
lucas - 08/13/2025
to be fair Instagram reels are known for their unhingedness over and above Youtube and Tiktok but removing this type of content if the title and description make it clear what it contains is stupid imo. I don't even know if the Iranian missile clip is censored from major platforms.
keoku - 08/13/2025
@SweetDaddyRizz I wonder the same question actually. Let me see if I can find it. I know it was from soundcloud so let me look at the OP's page.
BlueLegend - 08/14/2025
I will say one important thing. Audiopub scrapers are boss. Can't remove the uploads from my local copy. Problem solved :)
On another note, good to know this website isn't as, upload whatever you want freely, as the guidelines make it out to be. Then folks wonder why nobody gives a shit about those. He uploads a big boom clip, okay sure whatever, kill it if you want, I can see why. He uploads a bunch of tiktok pulls and he's being shot down because he doesn't credit. What is this youtube? Also where does it say we have to credit? Put it in writing or don't expect people to follow your arbitrary on the spot rules. Common sense, right? I mean all the stuff you're warning people for are common sense so why is this not?
Do feel free to tell me if I missed that. I haven't read the guidelines in a good minute and a quarter. What's the point? Clearly it doesn't list everything or we wouldn't be having these problems now would we? Wild. And then we get attacked as if we are supposed to know and read minds. Oh and yes lets totally ignore the valid points OP made because that's convenient. SMFH.
At any rate, on with the shitshow. I'm just gonna sip my cider and enjoy it.
Khosro - 08/14/2025
@Lucas it's even available on Youtube, it doesn't even contain gore it's just an explosion. So I guess someone either had a bad day or deleting clips brings them joy.
Xo Marianne - 08/14/2025
It's really bad andinsensetive 🥱 Let's be honest. The real world don't gaf about that not one bit 😁 But okaay. Some Emmily girl spam uploads over 10 audio files on one page, and no one complains about that, well other than me 😅 Either way, your content is entertaining so I'm struggling to see the problem. Might just be me though 🤷🏼♀️ I'm done now have a nice day y'all 👋🏼
Jonathan859 - 08/14/2025
@Marianne real!
Prime Minister Lord Zach - 08/14/2025
Who said anything about crediting though? That's one user who made that claim, not the official email. I do agree that in the case of reposting it would be nice to credit, not out of any obligation or licensing agreement, but it's useful information for if you want to retrieve the clip itself like Matthew did. I suppose you can download it from here but that may not be the most ideal situation. Just as an example, I can't remember if it was Conner or Ironcross who uploaded the Baby Got Back clip, but in the title it was clearly stated where the recording came from, and i personally found the info interesting. It helps put the context of the performance in greater context. Anyways I do think it's silly for giving him a warning for posting the clips in quick succession. It's not like the clips themselves are devoid of useful or interesting content, and the pub doesn't have tools to make uploading bulk content more userfriendly or enjoyable. That being said, it's wild to me that we're out here justifying him posting war footage. If you enjoy seeing innocent people being bombed and torpedoed go on instagram for that. Also it's hard to really gain a full picture from just an audio clip. There are literally some of you who refuse to watch a movie if it doesn't have audio description, so how do you expect to gain context about real world events without it being narrated to you? Double standards much?
Also @Blue Legend, we get it. You hoard every thing. Big deal man. You don't have to shout it to the heavens constantly.
P.S. How do you know the Emily person wasn't warned? Do you have access to the Staff pannel? May I remind you that all of Conner's stuff is still publically available on here minus the missile thing, as is the case with the Emily person?
BlueLegend - 08/14/2025
I do hoard everything and I'm proud of it. I will not refrain from being proud so you'll just have to cope bro.
lucas - 08/14/2025
No, it's not a double standard as that small clip should never be viewed by anyone as sufficient context for anything, blind or sighted. I merely believe it should be allowed because it's interesting and nobody else censors it, think whatever you will of that.
BlueLegend - 08/14/2025
I also agree with that. Its just a big bang. Like sure, anyone imagining can guess what happens, but meh, its not like its describing the impact or anything. We also have news reports and the like with footage so yeah, I personally don't get that rule but whateves. Also if you don't like it don't listen to it. What's so hard about that?
KLProductions - 08/14/2025
boohoo consequences of my own actions o know!
Prime Minister Lord Zach - 08/14/2025
Lucas, Conner specifically states that he posts this so that people can form a picture of their own and gain context. Those weren't my words, those were his. I do agree that it's pretty absurd to gain full context from audio clips, I was simply pointing out the lack of merit of his claim. I also want to point out for the record I actually haven't heard the clip myself.
@Blue Legend LOL OK bud.
lucas - 08/14/2025
Oh ok, I see. I had seen that the clip was posted but did not remember the description he'd attached to it.
Prime Minister Lord Zach - 08/14/2025
This is what he wrote.
The last time this happened, I uploaded all three audio viewpoints from the attempted Trump assassination. My goal wasn't to get attention or be edgy. It was to provide unfiltered information.

I provided the raw audio so people could hear it for themselves and make up their own minds, without a news anchor telling them how to feel.
bscross32 - 08/14/2025
I honestly think it should be as open as possible without getting the creator in trouble. Like, don't allow things that'll get the site taken down because of domain registrar ToS or hosting platform ToS. Other than that, let 'er rip. People can deal with their own issues in their own way.
SweetDaddyRizz - 08/14/2025
Agreed with Ironcross
BlueLegend - 08/14/2025
agreed as well
Stormy - 08/14/2025
This is stupid af. This is just a simple site where you can upload audio. All of the content could be deleted tomorrow for no reason and you have no recourse. It's weird that you need a rule in writing telling you not to spam, but if it bothers you that much then you should probably upload to somewhere else. It's not that serious.
Xo Marianne - 08/14/2025
@Stormy No actually thouuugh
The Machine - 08/14/2025
What does this even mean?
KLProductions - 08/14/2025
she mean's she's in agreement with stormy I think
Prime Minister Lord Zach - 08/15/2025
I think so too, but it's a complete reversal of what she originally said in here which gave me a chuckle.
Jim Pickens - 08/15/2025
Yes the usage of AI really enhances your argument,, it used to be a one out of 10 argument, now it's a negative 2 out of 10 argument, I think that's a bigger number right?
