YouTube changes rules on gun content - It's really bad

[ManrisFrack]

Policies on content featuring firearms - YouTube Help

Directly from the policy page:

"YouTube prohibits certain kinds of content featuring firearms. Specifically, we don’t allow content that:

• Intends to sell firearms or certain firearms accessories through direct sales (e.g., private sales by individuals) or links to sites that sell these items. These accessories include but may not be limited to accessories that enable a firearm to simulate automatic fire or convert a firearm to automatic fire (e.g., bump stocks, gatling triggers, drop-in auto sears, conversion kits), and high capacity magazines (i.e., magazines or belts carrying more than 30 rounds).
• Provides instructions on manufacturing a firearm, ammunition, high capacity magazine, homemade silencers/suppressors, or certain firearms accessories such as those listed above. This also includes instructions on how to convert a firearm to automatic or simulated automatic firing capabilities.
• Shows users how to install the above-mentioned accessories or modifications."

So they're going to screw with reloading. Hope the self taught labotomy classes will be kept on.

MAC sent out a message about this, it is SWEEPING!
another platform Needs to emerge!

 

[ManrisFrack]

The real problem is that it empowers lefties to flag EVERYTHING. 80% receiver instructional videos, assembly videos of virtually any gun or mod - gone. They've already managed to demonetize most of the gun channels so they went out and found sponsors. Now it's against policy to do that too if your sponsor sells gun related accessories.

They're tightening the noose and we haven't even realized we're standing on the gallows...

Needs to? Look into www.full30.com also iirc demo ranch was planning for this and is setup on twitch for the time being.

Other than that we can try to encourage any gun channels to switch to gab.ai and use their gab TV

YouTube is overplaying it’s hand. Another service will spring up and all the content will find a new home. It may take a while but it will happen.

 

[Defilade]

Yes full30.com has been around for a while now and we need to support it. I'll go to youtube for reviews on vacuum cleaners in the future.

 

[libertysnake]

I've said this before and I'll say it yet again:

There needs to be more conservative companies and workers in tech. These people will enforce their agenda on their platforms. That's just how it is.

You want to see conservative outlets out there? Learn to code. Start building, so your children have a future that isn't a wave of blue.

Everyone keeps saying there a private company ... nothing can be done ..

So i make a website to sell custom frozen ice cream cakes and ship to your door .. ( i have no actual brick n mortar corner store )
but only white people can order them .. or no gay orders accepted ...

I'd have more lawsuits on my ass faster then the white can get on rice ..

there a fking business .. there paying you to make videos and placing ad's in them ( that you have to agree with or you don't make any $$ ) and there making $$$ from the ad's they place ..

 

[Acer-m14]

how about you tube banning all the cell phone videos on hacks and tips ... 17 kids a day get killed texting and driving ..

 

[Cooolone]

What's YouTube? LMAO...

One of the few things I watch on TV is the Amazing Race. A few seasons ago they had a bunch of so called "YouTube" stars who had this channel or that... My wife an I looked at each other perplexed! Hahahaha...

YouTube closing the door on content, just provides an avenue for someone else to provide what they don't. No need to cry over Google controlling the masses by limiting speech! They are all for Freedom of Speech, in their image they want to project! Fuck Google!

I guess InRange has set up an account over at PornHub.com (based on their own Facebook post with link) but I haven't been able to check because I'm at work and that site is blocked

I didn't read anybody else's responses yet, but I'll say that this is very bad. There is absolutely an all-out attack on the gun Culture by Google Facebook YouTube Instagram, basically all mainstream social media Outlets bar silencing the gun culture. This can have terribly detrimental long-term effects. Younger people will not be educated on Firearms it will diminish over all interest in support development, Etc. Everyone needs to contact YouTube and express their displeasure with this. However, in the meantime there is a website called Full 30. Com that has gun videos. call mainstream social media outlet are silencing the gun culture. This can have terribly detrimental long-term effects. Younger people will not be educated on firearms, it will diminished overall interest, support, development, etcetera.

Everyone needs to contact youtube to express their sis pleasure with this. However, in the meantime there is a website called full30.com that has gun-related gun related videos.





Oh, but wait. Maybe this is just a big conspiracy and gun owners are being paranoid. :rolleyes

I use Full30.com to view MAC, TGC News, and a few others when I can.. but the site needs some improvement before it'll be a 'real' replacement for YouTube. That and videos are sometimes delayed days (probably people forgetting to upload there)..

The Firearms sub-Reddit talking about what channels to download and backup - I've been slowly doing that for certain videos (AR15 assembly, other 'smithing' vids) for a while but don't have the hard drive space to download everything I'd like.

Hopefully with polite, firm feedback we can get YouTube to change their mind.

I've had a GMail account since they debuted, I really need to start weaning myself off that..

They're, not they"re... if you're going to be a grammar Nazi, you at least have to get it right.

So I can watch gun porn there ... Should provide a lot of cover when the girlfriend complains about the web history ...

 

[camper4lyfe]

In the meantime, they'll happily play NRA ads for the revenue.

 

[holdover]

I,I,I don't think they understand how a free market works. Find a need, and fill it. All they did was create a vacuum in the market that's begging to be filled.

If you don't want to show videos somebody else will. This is the information age, You tube was built on it, they are disregarding their own business model and they are going to suffer for it. I give it one year , "enough time to build a new channel" and you tube will slowly die .

I can see a channel like live leak changing format and expanding to take advantage of it.

 

[Robin]

If I was young and as tech savvy as some of the folks here I'd be looking into start up possibilities. With the know how and the will, there is a pile of money to be made.

so will this spill over to videogaming?

Because plenty of them have evil black guns, blood and death.

I have heard and read about an eventual "conservative" video sharing service that will challenge YouTube. Their motto should be something like "Constitutionally protected speech all day, every day, twenty-four seven three sixty five."

Regardless, as of now I have not seen anything materialize.

Pretty sure its conservatives that try and sensor/shut down porn... I guess that's not considered free speech

Pornography can certainly be excluded from a "general use site" since there are already plenty of uncensored venues for pornography on the internet. I'm not for censorship, but venues need to select the content that best serves their intended audience. There will be advertisers that would be willing to spend money on a site that accepted gun and political commentary videos but who would balk at pornography.

A private company saying what you can and can not post is not a 1st amendment violation.

I agree. But, I think that any future site the espouses to support constitutionally protected speech should only restrict posts with the least restrictive rules as is feasible.

BTW, I just signed up on FULL30.COM and subscribed to some of the channels.
