Inb4 basketball channels get mass terminated for having "shoot" in their titles.

Look fam, cooperations can say all they want, but that won't mean I won't believe them.  If a robot wasn't behind the flagging process and removal of channels then the hickock event would never have been a thing that is always in the back of every guntuber's mind.

and has a monopoly on video sharing

I honestly wouldn't be annoyed as much if this wasn't the case. I like youtube because of the wide variety of bullshit I can find on it and if they follow these guidelines to the letter than a good half of my regularly viewed channels are gone and I'll have to follow them elsewhere.
I know InRange already distributes content via bitchute, and many of the other guntube channels are on Full 30, but traffic for the former is abysmal and the later is a fucking cludge and a half.

I try to spread the word about alt-tech sites but normies don't really give a shit, and until something forces them to, Google, Facebook, and all the rest will maintain their monopoly on social media.

I'd be a lot more sympathetic to these alt-tech channels if they weren't almost all detestable shitholes pushing lies, hate, fake news and inflammatory content in an attempt to drown out reasonable and intellectual discussions and promote division, filter bubbles and populist shite.

If an open platform to distribute whatever the fuck you want is populist then call me Richard Spencer fam.

Actually no, don't do that. Spencer likes Jews. I do not.

And isn't this hickock guy supposed to be intelligent, educational and reasonable instead of posting dumb stuff like this?

No, he's supposed to be an entertainer. The dude has great talent with marksmanship and a bretty good understanding of ballistics. He shoots weird guns at weirdly long ranges.  I don't expect anything more or less from him than that.

Good to know. I had always been under the impression that he's this neutral and reasonable guy steering clear from politics and this kind of stuff but guess I was wrong.

He's more or less sponsored but not sponsored by the NRA. He can't be apolitical.

Wow you sound bitter af.

I enjoy Bitchute and Minds because they respect free speech values and allow creators to monetize without having to compromise what they think and say. Sure there can be some whacked out ideas presented on these sites but there are whacked out ideas on Youtube and Facebook as well, and I believe I am perfectly capable of entertaining crazy without having to agree with it.

Your idea of alt-tech seems particularly distorted by a disdain for certain types of people. A site like minds for instance has a very diverse user base and has plenty of reasonable intellectual discussion happening. Just because they don't boot out aggressive or provocative users does not mean the site is a detestable shithole. If that's what you believe then we certainly aren't on the same page. I just can't agree with that sentiment.

I'm not saying that an open platform is populist. I'm saying that this particular one has been designed with this kind of stuff in mind. I'm skimming through the bitchute popular/trending section and it's shameful how slanted, misleading and hatemongering this stuff is. Antisemitism, pro-Nazism, chemtrail conspiracy, clinton planning a coup conspiracy, buy gemstones to ward off bad spirits, "Trump Recruits Zionist Neocon John Bolton for War with Iran", holocaust revisionism, illuminati, false flag attacks, fake / highly misleading news about ((((((Zuckerberg)))))) and Facebook / Clinton committing treason, rise up against Islam... And that's all on just the first page of the trending and popular sections of the site. These are the high standards of top content on your typical alt-tech platform. You'll probably just meme about the antisemitism here, but this is a pretty serious concern. We're already dealing with enough filter bubbles and echo chambers as it is, but now imagine a large  chunk of people moving to these platforms where critical thought, intellectualism and factual, balanced and informative content is completely absent and has been replaced entirely by these fake news, misleading and hatemongering videos by people pushing for less understanding, more division and a greater fanbase that'll follow them without question. And that alone is enough of a reason for me to steer clear of the "alt-tech".

Understandable. Such free platforming does unfortunately bring out the true undesirables  that most everyone else does not wish to hear from, but those of us who simply wish to lawfully and safely enjoy recreational firearm use do not appreciate the automatic association with such.
But what else can you do (besides moving to pornhub) when the monopolizing force on video sharing social media decides that you're not welcome on their platform anymore?

One gun blogger ditched YouTube for Pornhub? Why would you post gun videos on Pornhub?

Reminds me of when someone uploaded footage of Fallout 4 gameplay to PornHub a few weeks before the game released
