Bloke is back. Sorta.

Honestly, I don't think too many people would be terribly upset if you guys actually used Plan X more seriously, i'm betting if you start to release OC over on the hub, and not just old episodes, the viewers would follow. Only problem is their search bar doesn't work that well for Primer episodes, but once you find one, you have a link to the main account.

More importantly, YT builds viewership via their "you might also like" suggestions so someone who may not even realize that C&Rsenal is the holy grail they've subconsciously been looking for all along. *That's* the real reason none of the channels want to give up their YT presence even if they *can* Full30 [which C&Rsenal can't because their regular videos crush Full30's capability.]

I was about to suggest the same thing. Putting the trailers on YT is important because a lot of folks use YT subscriptions view to find out when people put out new videos.

Because they aren't computer/internet companies, they're more akin to brick&mortar businesses that hire out their web-hosting duties to other providers. But they're going to have to wake up & smell the coffee soon & band together to establish a free-speech beachhead in e-space they can all benefit from. Like Ben Franklin said, we'd better all hang together or we'll all be hanged separately...

Some of us don't FB...

Bloke has been trying to get on Full30 for awhile; I think they finally got him sorted out [I just saw one of his videos posted there late last night, 24May18], so that's good. [NB: I suspect the hangup for his migration to Full30 may have had something to do with his location outside the U.S? Yes, Switzerland is among the gun-friendliest countries in Yurp due to their long-standing tradition of a citizen army, but it's still a non-U.S. source and Full30 may have had some sort of block on any extra-national inputs? Dunno, but that's just my working theory...]

Actually, if you took any college-level psychology courses, this is a textbook example of applied Skinnerian-conditioning...

I get that you wouldn't want to create a "second tier" break, but what about doing the handloading series [which conceptually should all be episodes that won't break the ~35 minute Full30 bork-it barrier] and just posting teasers [w/ appropriate descriptions to find the full vids outside the YT-verse] on SJWTube? Love your long format for the gun history segments, but none of the handloading episodes should run that long, I wouldn't think. But what do I know? Just spit-ballin' low-effort work-arounds here...

Bruce Brodnax

Playing it safe is probably a good idea. C&Arsenal is an amazing show, and it would be a shame to risk it.

Publish the Handloading videos to Full30 link from heretrust your Patrons to spread the word on them.

One has to wonder why some of the big names in the firearms industry aren't hosting video content! Like the NRA, GunBroker, SAMMI, The Freedom Group, just to mention a few.

Well, there are 10,000 employees from the SPLC in charge of policing YouTube videos so we should expect much, much more of this in the near future. Unfortunately.... It's incredibly frustrating but besides trying to voice our opinion, there's nothing we can do. I see people suggest a boycott...I would guess less than 20% of gun owners care enough to be frequent viewers of YouTube firearm channels, how many of that 20% would actually boycott YouTube? It wouldn't even be a blip on their radar, they are so huge and make so much money. It's a sad fact, but moving to another hosting service is going to be the only way going forward because these rules and demonizing gun owners/guns/gun content is only going to intensify. I think the firearm content providers should stick with YouTube as long as possible for the simple fact that it reaches TONS of people and can bring new shooters to the hobby. Moving hosting services will completely abolish that very important benefit of YouTube. I went from having a revolver stuck in a drawer that I never touched, never thinking about gun rights at all to a C&R holder, collector, reloader, hobby gunsmith and avid supporter of the 2A, and seeing firearm content on YouTube played a huge part in getting me from a Fudd to a "gun nut".

Bloke is on Facebook.

I am wondering why Bloke is not on Full30, or Porn Hub for that matter.

Interesting, it took me 42 second to find out how to get and abortion on Youtube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ufb2I56_VQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ufb2I56_VQ</a> which is actually killing a human being, but I can't find help with reloading. Interesting morals these zuckerberg minions have.....

We need unrestricted voices. I would not mind watching my reloading videos on X Hamster.

As in hosting it off platform?

C&Rsenal

I wonder if linking to another channel would put C&amp;R propper in the crosshairs. You do it on it's own channel and just link it.

And that's the entire problem, selective and completely inconsistent enforcement with no way to know if anything is wrong before you're taken out.
