Quick video clip explaining YOUTUBE has banned videos sponsored by gun manufacturers, or companies which manufacture gun accessories, as of June 18. Video less than 3 minutes in length.

ransomnote: Here's the original text under the YOUTUBE videos created by Hickok45, a father and son Duo.

Hickok45 videos are filmed on my own private shooting range and property by trained professionals for educational and entertainment purposes only, with emphasis on firearms safety and responsible gun ownership. We are NOT in the business of selling firearms or performing modifications on them. Do not attempt to copy at home anything you see in our videos. Firearms can be extremely dangerous if not used safely.

ransomnote: YOUTUBE videos are often monetized, earning those posting content of interest money for number of views and or receiving sponsorship funds from manufacturers and other commercial outlets. Some people have been making videos for years to support themselves and share their expertise. Abrupt notice that they cannot post their content can halt the sole source of income for some content providers. In the video below, the content is banned because it's sponsored by gun and gun accessories manufacturers. I wonder if Google considers gun/gun accessory manufacturers a source of Trump campaign donors, or if this is just part of the general push, accentuated on Jan 13, to lobby against guns.

The same banning tactic is being used by YOUTUBE to stop people from warning others not to attempt sex change 'transitioning' through drugs and surgery. No justification is given. Other topics deemed 'not PC' enough are being 'cleansed' from YOUTUBE as well.

The Hickok45 duo has now moved to RUMBLE. I don't know if, or how well, Rumble monitizes their videos, but it's good to see them surface again on the web.

I think he came out a few days ago saying it had been resolved.

Bummer. Perhaps their social media experience will allow them to get real jobs.

On a side note, Rumble is going to need to up their game, big time. It's still amateur hour over there.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Yup, here it is.

YouTube is developing that same hate level as “Ma Bell”. Some of the old-timers around here will know what I’m talking about.

[ConservativeMind]

My wife and I have enjoyed his videos.

We will move to Rumble.

[Inyo-Mono]

He’s still on YouTube.

Everyone decent should move to Rumble. Rumble’s biggest problem is that they have an absolutely horrible search engine. Pretty much as bad as one could be. Right next to worthless. They really need to work on that.

It is not only bad when using direct words but it has zero ability to be intuitive. So typing in something like Trump’s Grand daughter at convention will get you nowhere. But it is even worse than that. As you type in a direct phrase then it will keep going from no results to some results to no results... Things that should show up won’t show up(Because you may know something exists on Rumble but it wont’ show up in a search). Results are inconsistent. It really is a search engine that it just about worthless. It is very important that they fix that. They will never ever compete with You Tube with a shameful search engine like that. Being able to quickly find what you are looking for is worth its weight in gold.

[mairdie]

Consistent with liberal control and prejudice, but incredibly frustrating.

[glimmerman70]

Lol. I used to binge watch his videos. Watching him trying to hit the gong all the way in the back with some guns was impressive. He has pretty much went over and reviewed every gun.

Youtube needs to be smashed. Nazis need to be smashed. Way past time we demanded the government investigate youtube for denial of civil rights.

No large mass communications company can be allowed to be "private" in the USA.

If you want to be a "private" company, you cannot work in communications. Communications is so essential to national security, it needs to be viewed as an exception to "private" companies.

[Cobra64]

Correct.
