In Range TV speaks out

I very much appreciate their using YT to "bite the hand that feeds them" and their recognition that there are forces at play across the digital community to suppress content. Here's one of their new homes. https://www.full30.com/channels/forgottenweapons

Full30 is such a wobbly platform. They need a lot more--broad-range--content to justify moving up to larger platform support.
Will have to see.

I remain hugely intrigued by Karl's reference to "weaponizing" AdBlocker. At present, all that does is keep the end-user from seeing the ad. The advertiser still get credit for the "view" even if the content was blocked. This is counter intuitive. However parallels abound. When you DVR a program, many of us fast-forward through the commercials. However, the advertisers still paid for those commercials, and they 'count' as if "watched," even though they were not.

Actually, I believe you have to watch so many seconds or percentage of the ad to get paid on the video. I may be wrong but, a video I was watching on how people make money on YT said as much.

Odd thread for a mod to start, considering all the Youtube alternative/boycott threads being closed by mods on the site. Is it because this is a news article vaguely related to firearms instead of actual activism?

Vimeo, BitChute, and other options are also out there. BitChute is interesting since it is somewhat decentralized, which makes it more immune to attack or manipulation in theory. Unfortunately it is open to the general public unlike Full30, and, well, nutty videos abound. (Freedom is wacky and annoying at times, as well as scary)

Well, that's just it. The adblocker runs on your end, not the source side. Source side "runs" you just don't see it. We looked into this as a potential issue to be exploited by bed people.
