YouTube shutting down gun channels :-(

[Fordtough25]

I really want to stop watching YouTube because of this but it's hard to replace at this point. MAC doesn't post here much anymore but he is all over Facebook, which sensors posts as well. I am waiting to see if the liberals try to take out a huge channel like Hickok45 or stay lower key. Hickok is pretty easy going but his son is way more active on social media.

Hickok45 already got whacked didnt he?

I tried to make the switch over the full30 with all the channels I could. Probably is when I did that probably 6 weeks ago I stopped getting notifications of new videos from full30. I used to get them, then they stopped. I found I was way behind on some of the channels so I reactivated my youtube notifications. Still don't get any from full30.

Exactly, I want to like full30 but it's nowhere near YouTubes level of subsystems. Not to mention the handful of non firearm videos I watch at random.

I use duckduckgo, they don't track your searches.

I don't care who tracks me. I don't use porn, anti American, anti firearm or hate sites. I do however try to boycott and avoid any of those that do.

Hank strange’s channel got deleted

MAC got his 2nd strike on a private video

22 plinkster pulled his videos after getting an account strike himself

Honestly, I dont feel sorry for these YouTubers. Their channels were monetized or had the ability to be, for years. Instead of investing in cool guy gear, those funds couldve been funneled into Full30 or a newer platform.

After the whole Bump Stock fight between YouTubers and the reported (not confirmed) fee some charge to do a review, youd think a light bulb would go on in the heads of 4 or 5 of the top firearm channels. Hell, I would donate to the cause if I knew they were serious about it and had some smart individuals heading the venture.

It does almost seem that many are treating YT as a public utility rather than a private concern. Waiting for the Invisible Hand to come up with a plausible alternative. Certainly the market is there...

It's outside my wheelhouse but maybe these guys need to team up with people like Prager U.

YouTube clamping down on gun channels showing suppressors, reloading, mags greater than 30 rounds

Edit: I don't know if this is new or old.

 

[Ark]

This is new. Basically there isn't a gun channel on Youtube that isn't getting boned by this. They want guns off the platform altogether.

The new policy, by my reading, immediately bans ALL videos depicting reloading, or "installation" of magazines or suppressors. 80% lower anything, gone. This is on top of demonetization. Youtube won't stop until they're all out of business.

Probably because Dr. Bruce Willis learned all his gun stuff from the internet on the new Death Wish.

InrangeTV and possibly Gun Jesus moving their content to... PornHub.

OP copied from link. Obviously the pornhub link is very NSFW.

I didn't want to make this post a link since it would go directly to PornHub, but link to InRangeTV's new channel:

pornhub.com/users/inrangetvshow/videos

This is all in the wake of YouTube making it public that they intend to shut down all gun related content in the near future. (Link to article with Official YouTube policy: https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2018/03/20/youtube-cracks-gun-channels/)

As we've all shown an interest in YouTube being a dickhole about content, I'm ecstatic that someone finally made the move to PornHub. IIRC, PornHub is owned by a Luxembourg based company called MindGeek which has a massive content delivery network for rather obvious reasons. I'd hope that the company hosting probably 95% of streaming porn to the WWW in all sorts of fetishes would have a hard line on free speech/censorship.

This move does limit people from accessing certain content while at work/school, but if they end up being good hosts and it seems that they are OK with the idea, then it's a good step in the right direction. If this takes off, MindGeek could create a "work safe" URL/site that allows you to access this type of content without pissing off the Network Admin at work.

That's actually rather brilliant...

It's official, YouTube is banning gun channels.

The beginning of the end is here....video information wise. Apparently they want to be a website filled with nothing but cat videos.

So far, from what I have been able to find, Full30 is one of the only places that has multiple firearms channels in one place. I thought there might have been others, but I cannot find one. I do see several individuals who are working on their own individual platform. James Yeager has LiberTV coming, but it's not up yet. And I have heard rumors that Hank Strange is also working on his own platform, but again, nothing is up yet.

Does anyone else know of any other websites that currently have multiple firearms channels hosted?

 

[worddoer]

It would be really nice if someone can take this video and change all the swastika's over to YouTube logos. Seem appropriate to me. YouTube tells people they are all about free speech, but only those who hate free speech, freedom and liberty silence everything they disagree with. I would do it, but I have no video editing skills or knowledge.
