YouTube To End Firearm Related Channels, Videos

Here is the latest video from reloader, Fortune Cookie 45LC.  He has one of the great firearm channels on YouTube, and provides instruction on reloading for both beginners and experienced loaders.  He is one of the presenters who will likely be cut from YouTube shortly.  Let's listen to his thoughts on the situation. 




YouTube is notorious for changing rules and the application thereof. They recently changed the rules on monetized channels and cut out a whole bunch of little channels from the benefits of ads on their videos. I don't know if it will do any good, but contact YouTube and rattle their cage. If you are a YouTuber who is interested in firearms, create an account at Full30. It is just getting started, but they soon will have upload capabilities for displaced YouTube presenters.

Hickok45 and Forgotten Weapons are already there. Gun video bloggers are all making the move.

Posted on Borepatch. Even the tech websites are talking about it.

Uploading is not yet available to little guys like me; just for bigger, well known YouTubers as they get their feet on the ground. I understand that expansion is in the works and that they will be allowing more people to come in and upload. Buying server space and backup capability, plus hiring employees is tough for a startup, but I think Full30 will make it. I sure hope they do. YouTube has changed rules and monetizing for more than just firearm videos. They are messing their nest, but I guess they are free to do that. Other video platform providers will be glad to take their business!
