YouTube removing reloading videos?

[sbwaters]

Just saw a link that suggested YouTube was removing video about how to reload ammunition. A quick check still had video from my press vendor up.

Is this new? Is this legit?

YouTube has been hitting anything that is right wing, gun, or not left leaning.

It seems the far left is flooding YouTube with complains about content that they don’t like and YouTube has given “strikes” to providers for it. Three of them and the channel is being removed.

So yes it’s real and yes it’s a huge problem

The left has taken to rigging debates and disseminating falsehoods repeatedly after being corrected. They don't seem to care in the least who knows it. It should go without saying that they are going to select only content which advances their narrative.

I truly believe that they have been driven over the edge by the election of Donald Trump. They will bring the GOP down or go down in flames trying.

The sheer lack of fact, logic and decency in the general discourse (the right is not doing a lot better) makes me think we are a tinderbox waiting for a spark. Can't say that I am sorry to own a gun or two.

so this is what burning books looks like in the digital age!

If true, it may, or may not be anti gun. Or on the other hand it could simply be because of liability concerns because people post video showing dangerous overloads or other practices.

I've heard the same over other firearm related videos. I'm currently searching for a youtube alternative and when I do I plan to send a few letters to some of the youtube sponsors explaining why I won't be seeing anymore of their ads.

You would have to show an example. I know a few weeks back things went crazy because, as far as the public knows, they were outsourcing recommendations and judging to very left leaning groups who smashed several youtube channels. It is a complex issue. The shear volume of information loaded onto an viewed just through Youtube is staggering.
Make no mistake, there is a war going on regarding digital information that is considered "right leaning". I have no idea how it will play out, but the wedge is being pushed further and further down.

You could reverse left and right in the above quote and it would all make just as much sense. Both sides are guilty of this campaign of nonsense.

That said whats been going on with youtube and gun channels is appalling and needs to be stopped. This is non government censorship.

This is one alternative;

The left is getting really out there. Pulling down statues in the middle of the night (governments doing this, not vandals), limiting free speech, moving to seize property with no due process simply by someone being "concerned" about you, etc, etc. Not good on many levels!

This is exactly right. An entire law abiding community silenced because it doesn't fit the agenda.

Looks like my stuff is still there.

If liberals were going to go nuts about something legal, this would make sense to be up at the top of their list.

I agree, re: left and right. The only valid place to be is the Constitutional Conservative center. Which of course will get you called a fascist by the left and a librul by the Trumpites.

I have less problem with private censorship as long as it is clearly displayed that they are presenting an altered reflection of society. It is not a free and open public forum. Some sort of disclaimer is in order.

This thread has drifted well wide of the focus of this forum.
