Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that my channel "Edgun West" has been terminated by Youtube because they stated I violated their "Community Guidelines". They feel airguns are dangerous and I can only guess because I taught people how to modify and work on airguns they deemed this "harmful to minors." I appealed this decision, but I was unable to get Youtube to change their mind. I have been banned from emailing them again. I am not going to let me stop making videos or sharing them. I started this just having fun, and I was encouraged by Ernest to make DIY videos. This passion eventually led me to import the gun I love above all others "the EDgun". If I stop making videos, it will change my whole business model. I know my videos are wordy and not polished ( I envy Steve's and Matt's professional editing) but I like making no-frills videos. I hope me going to a new hosting service won't prevent people from seeing my videos, but I am left without another option.

Here is my replaced video for the R5 .30, and as I stated before, there will be more in the series

Thanks for understanding
Brian

The people at youtube are anti gun and before long there will not be any thing about guns on this liberal web site. It is the sign of the times. I personally wish some one would start a new sight for all of the gunners and thousands of people would stop using youtube. I hate that the country is so devided, but I do not see things changing in my life time.

Same here. I think Youtube's days are numbered. Google probably knows this and has decided to sacrifice it at the altar of their left-wing ideology.

Trust me, a goofy must have complained. There's no way that they can monitor the millions of videos. I watch videos of kids making bombs and blowing stuff up and they're worried about your video? Jeez.

Very good video review. As usual.

And regarding YT - first of all someone must have sent multiple complains to YT, I'm more than sure about that! haters gonna hate...

Google ruined youtube a long time ago.

Brian, was there a particular video that was a concern? Could you post it here?

yes , ive been hearing more and more about the censorship of gun related content... Or even slingshots like the Jorge sprave channel have been demonetized

Brian, thanks for the heads up. I will look for your videos elsewhere and sorry this has happened. BTW, I find your videos very well done, no nonsense and very informative as well as on point.

D-tube is a newer up and coming venue that is not owned by corporate. I don't know all the ins and outs but I like it is available as an alternative.

Perhaps we should move our videos there as I understand they wont be censored.

some of you more computer savvy folks can possibly assist on how to upload and set up accounts. I just watch.

AirgunWeb TV just posted on Facebook saying the same thing, so Keyser isn't the only one getting videos deleted for their new community standards deal.

In today's world we are all dealing with issues that may not seem fair or right but unfortunately where corporate policy is concerned "Their bat ,their ball and their sand lot"
so the squeaky wheel loudest best organized voices are the ones that are heard. It is more about dollars and sense rather than right and wrong.

That being said lets focus on supporting those that support our hobby and provide the information we need to enjoy our passion for AG's.

I frequently visit a site called Full30(dot)com that is oriented toward the shooting sports, hunting & other outdoor pursuits. Not sure what their requirements are for uploading content, or their monetization policy (if any), but might be worth looking into.

I came here to mention D-Tube as well: https://d.tube/
D-Tube is powered by the steem blockchain so you get paid in Steem (a cryptocurrency, currently the most heavily used blockchain in existence). The steem blockchain's "witness nodes" generate the currency regularly and views/votes dictate who gets paid what share.

Just tried to go there and check it out. Got a huge banner saying that it is not a secure site. Grrrr!

kcatx · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2018, 01:20:50 PM »

you went to https://d.tube/ and WHAT said it wasn't a secure site? Both Safari and Chrome (on OSX) have no issues with it. The cloudflare SSL cert for it is legitimate. Was it some anti-virus/malware software that said it wasn't a secure site?

I could get to D-Tube, but had to adjust my security settings in my browser (FF for Linux).

the warning says it uses an unsupported protocol.
