What do you think of www.full30.com?

I go there to watch regularly but do not enjoy the layout of the website.
 
I like it a lot. I only found it because YouTube shut down Hickok45. YouTube has been in a mess since Google got a hold of it and has been going down hill ever since.
I even found a few channels that I didn't know about.
 
I don't think youtube will ever prohibit gun videos, gun videos make them a lot of money and youtube likes money. Videos that probably will get removed in the future (if they already aren't) are ones that show how to convert a gun to fully automatic.

youtube will never voluntarily shut gun videos down unless they're ordered to by some law, like the one that was floated last year with iTAR.
 
I like the layout of YouTube better, better search function. I also watch more than just gun videos on youtube, but full30 is pretty good also for just gun related stuff.

Youtube is owned by Google. All it would take would be for Google to feel some negative feedback from some major advertisers and the gun channels would be toast.

Similarly Google (like FB and others) could feel that being associated with firearms damages their reputation and again, the firearms videos would be nothing more than a memory.
 
I don't bother. Websites aren't the only way people interact with internet content anymore. Youtube is available on my computer . . . or my television (via a plethora of different devices - I use a FireTV downstairs and a PS4 upstairs), or on my phone.

Most of these new websites don't have the app infrastructure to compete with Youtube and even if they did, I'm on Youtube browsing subscribed channels far more often than I'd be looking at something specific to a single topic.

Both Youtube.com and full30.com are "websites." If full30.com doesn't have an app, I'm sure it will soon enough.

Yes, but Youtube isn't ONLY a website. It's available in other forms. Particularly for video content, it's rare that I'm actually sitting at my computer. Most of my Youtube watching is done from my couch.

Full30.com doesn't currently have an app that I see (and what it's going to do soon enough really doesn't count for much), and there's also the questions of platforms. Sure, if they get it I'm positive it'll hit iPhones first and shortly thereafter Android. But what about FireTV? Roku? Playstation? Xbox? Smart TV's? Youtube is available on ALL those devices. If you want to compete as a video service you have to make yourself available in as many forms as possible.

The more consolidated I can get my content the better. Heck half the time whilst I don't actually post a whole lot from it a lot of my reading even here is done from Tapatalk - all my forums regardless of what their focus area is get consolidated into a single app that I can browse.

Until/unless Youtube actually bans gun-related content (which they haven't done), I am content to watch my stuff there.
 
I suspect http://www.full30.com will become critical if Youtube ever prohibits all gun videos.

If that ever happens, I'll likely start visiting full30, but until then it's highly unlikely.

Youtube started up in '05 and Google bought them in '06, it's a hard argument to say they been going down hill since '06.

Some of these people are like "how dare we support a website that is ran by people that strongly support the 2nd Amendment"?

Sure, you can use YouTube (probably most of us do) but Google also has an anti-gun agenda and uses a portion of their proceeds accordingly.

Lemme see here.... Didn't Obama get elected in '08? Yep....

FYI but Hickok45 isn't the only channel YouTube (Google) is jacking with. screwing something up, even YouTube, takes a lot of effort and determination. Since it was born in '05 and owned in '06 Google has had plenty of time to get it wrong.
I just watched a video from forgotten weapons on a smooth bore Spencer. Very well done I might add, and it wasn't hosted on YouTube.
 
I see merit in supporting full30.com. Facebook just banned gun-seller related groups even though they have hundreds of thousands of users that surely make them a certain amount of ad revenue when they check for new guns for sale, so it's not inconceivable. In fact I think full30 was started precisely because there have been youtube scares before (like google prohibiting firearm ads from its ad services). Further I don't know for sure but I would hope that full30 is able to provide a comparable or larger percentage of ad-revenue, and the ad revenue is largely from firearm related companies and accessories. Also be wary of the new youtube plus or whatever the paid version is called.

I will admit though that I still watch largely on youtube because of it's availability on other devices. I am a regular follower of ForgottenWeapons and I think they have the right idea by releasing their videos on Full30 first, even though they were not able to abandon youtube completely.
 
Since '07/'08 I've regularly watched and subscribed to a number of gun channels on YT. Since Full30 started I try to watch as much as I can over there. I don't like that I can't see the channel's name or the video run time from the main page, but otherwise I have no complaints. I mainly watch over on Full30 because the channels make more per view, and any company profits go to gun guys, not Google.
 
Never been there before.

FOR ME

The site looks to contain very interesting items but is not the least bit intuitive nor does it have enough captioning per link.

I like that links load straight to the videos.

I didn't see the usual off-putting bad-assery which immediately steers me away.

I'm not sure I understand the "mission' of the site if they have one. A particular focus or even the notion of a broadly thrown net would help me.

Otherwise - as I see it, it's merely a collection of videos... is that the case?

Too, I'm very detached from social media - if this is even an element of social media... whadda I know?

Other than Forgotten Weapons and the occasional disassembly video, I don't watch "gun videos". Some are good, most are mediocre, some are dangerously retarded. In other words, the signal-to-noise ratio isn't great in the genre, so meh.
