So, for the first time ever.. while watching a vid Forgotten Weapons where Karl runs a 2-gun match kitted out in period appropriate gear/weapons(K98az, etc), and before that, watched one about the 1st Punic War(Carthage vs Rome), and before that one had watched a vid on Roman artillery..

Here they are if yall wanna check em out(the 2-gun match vid is awesome, and quite hilarious IMO- comparison of Sturmtruppen elite gear vs Rear line POG)








Invictus' vids are quite well researched from what I can see, and very nicely done for a 1-2 man LOW low budget operation. Highly recommend all these dudes' stuff
After that, was about to go check out some forgotten weapons or Garand Thumb...
So that gives you a idea of 90% of what I watch on yt: firearm stuff, military history, firearm history, and the other 10% being music, a few podcasts here and there, etc).
Little earlier, 10 seconds after the Vintage 2-gun match started, a message popped up in the top left corner of my screen from YT "Youtube would like to be granted access to your microphone: Allow Deny"
Of course clicked deny(they probably are gone use it anyway), but why TF would they want access to my mic? I dont make vids..??

YouTube has a voice search function, so if it detects or thinks it detects a mic it's giving you the option of using said function. Might also apply to the comments section too, or if the video had a live chat option when it premiered.

EDIT: Nope, that's a 5 year old video and didn't have a live chat. Probably it's the search one. Were you watching on a PC, or was it a phone?
