In april You-Tube will shut down many gun videos.
Should be articles on the web.
Yahoo opened it up then dumpted it.

While I obviously don't agree with the majority of that (the parts I do agree with are already against federal law such as homemade suppressors and illegally converting a semi-automatic firearms to fully automatic), it's not the "Youtube to ban all gun videos" that people are shouting right now. Still, there is the "slippery slope" issue to be concerned with.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.
Sounds like they will dump all reloading videos. That’s pretty well a slap in the face. That will definetly get my YouTube red account dumped.
Read it, pleaseHow did you get that out of the YouTube announcement?

Look at the second bullet point in the new rulas, posted by @primalmu in the second post.How did you get that out of the YouTube announcement?
FortuneCookie is the guy who got me into reloading two years ago and he remains one of my favorite channels on youtube. Now not only is he gone, but so too are the Sootch00 videos on how to assemble a stripped AR lower. Even Duelist1954 isn't safe.Before I found this place I started there watching fortunecookie and hornadyloader and they have some good info. I also needed help taking my bolt apart and youtube helped with that. Its a shame they feel this way but we are in the age of my feeling are hurt and if you don't conform to the way I feel I'm gonna show my rear end and kick my feet until I get my way and too many people are giving into it!!
Pornographic websites are the ONLY other video hosting websites that have the ability to compete with Youtube. Since Youtube has essentially turned into Nazitube (they're already halfway there with the red background behind the play icon) the only place to put guns now that can still bring in a new audience is a place like Pornhub.We can't show how to install a hi cap ammunition feeding device, eh?
Yeah, this won't be abused to silence pro gun content, no way.
Luckily alternatives are lining up to replace this Brave New Youtube Politburo. Full30, Bitchute, and unlikely as it seems, Pornhub are offering to host video channels chased off by Youtube.
You need a couple ingredients for this service, which is why Youtube keeps winning;
-Giant server farms to physically hold the video data
-High end video streaming capability (software & hardware) to deliver that data to a big enough audience
-Connections with advertisers willing to pay enough to the hosting company & content makers, for it to be worth their while (bit of a chicken/egg thing with the audience size)
-Willingness of host to carry said content/data (this is Youtube's problem)
Sounds silly, but the pornography industry has all these ingredients in spades, probably nearly equal to Youtube. Get enough interest in the non-explicit stuff (there clearly is, in total) and they'll clean/class up the service to reach a wider, more easily mortified audience, and make even more money.
They've already begun moving stuff there. It remains to be seen if it's serious or a stunt (or both). I seen't it...and *cough* other things.

If InRangeTV really does begin uploading videos to pornography websites... I may just follow them there and never bother with Youtube again.
In a world where Donald Trump is President of the United States and 4Chan has become the beacon of exposing media corruption... I have to take Ian and Karl at their word and believe they are in fact going to Pornhub.They've already begun moving stuff there. It remains to be seen if it's serious or a stunt (or both).
