I hate to say this, but it is YouTube’s prerogative to do so as a private company. It has nothing to do with the 2A. It is a business decision by a private company. As such, if you (we) are bothered by it, then you take your business else where. I see a similar parallel to the baker who was sued because he refused to make a cake for a gay wedding. I’m not agreeing if their decision was right or wrong, but as a private business, you should have the ability to serve what/who you want and then let the private market take it from there.

YouTube doesn't give two shits, EVERYONE uses YT too find out how to fix shit. Look for recommendations on what to buy or where to buy stuff.

I use it to look at reviews for RV's. I have had customers call when they use YT to try and fix their HVAC equipment and it fails miserably ( it just makes me rich, LOL)

Losing a few million firearms enthusiasts won't even be a blip on their radar.

Let's see if Full30.com can really step up as THE video hosting platform for firearms enthusiasts. They'll probably need corporate sponsorship to grow and improve.

YouTube has attained a monopoly. All these liberal tech companies have monopolies.
Market forces do not exist where there is a monopoly. The Goolge/YouTube conglomerate is not just some private company. They deliver the world to billions of people and they filter it through their liberal, SJW, PC bullshit first. This is not acceptable.

Screw 'em. There is a huge market for this type of content. Money out of YT's pocket.

Not trying to defend them, but YT has some pretty awesome content for any niche interest you can think of. You might be surprised what you can find.

Tumbler, Full 30, Gun streamer, Omaha something or other. That's the problem.

If these sites wanted an alternative to beat YouTube, they'll join together. As it is with gun content fragmented everywhere, it'll never work.

Tumblr is out for me. If I have to join it to see what's in it, I'm done. Kind of like you have to pass Obamacare to see what's in the bill. No thanks.

The writing is on the wall and has been since March. I don't feel the least bit sorry for any channel that hasn't established a presence on Full30 or UGETube. This article is simply the result of the incremental application of the policy they set forth in March.

It will take time, but the alternatives to YouTube will consolidate or compete each other down to one or two fairly strong options. The blessing and the curse is that YouTube seems to be very selective about what it is hammering right now. For instance, you can still find tons of videos about bedding a rifle or swapping a muzzle device even though "instructions on manufacturing a firearm" are a no-no. Yes, that wording doesn't technically include bedding but I predict that there will come a time when YouTube won't honor that distinction. When they finally start yanking Larry Potterfield's videos hopefully Full30 or UGETube or another has survived and built itself as a viable home for non-(Democrat)PC content.

Well they have a long ways to go.... I typed in some radical stuff like how to bump fire AR15.... etc stuff. Site is full of vids. I have like 20 vids deleted but could be because of music I put with the vids. What I see is Conservative type vids deleted.

True. Except on iPhone :)

Today is the first time I have ever heard of full30 and I watch a lot of YouTube vids (maybe only a couple a week on guns tho).

Full30 needs an app. That’s probably the only reason why I don’t view it as much. Sucks that YouTube had become such a major part of our lives, it will be difficult to try and avoid completely.
