YouTube will ban videos that promote or link to websites selling firearms and accessories, including bump stocks, which allow a semi-automatic rifle to fire faster. Additionally, YouTube said it will prohibit videos with instructions on how to assemble firearms. The video site, owned by Alphabet Inc.’s Google, has faced intense criticism for hosting videos about guns, bombs and other deadly weapons.

Is there an alternative to YouTube that is not under the control of traitors?

One option would be https://vimeo.com

And full30.com.  Hickok45 has quite a few videos there.  YouTube kept locking his account.

I've heard from a lot of gun folks that Full30.com is going to be the place to go to.

I have to say that this whole movement against the Second Amendment from Google, Youtube, financial institutions, you name it, is kind of unnerving. Couldn't be worse timing either as I'm building a fledgling small business for online AR-15 parts www.SpiceTac.com and have been creating some AR-15 how-to build videos. Have not uploaded anything yet to Youtube and with the latest developments, probably not going to.

Will be giving Full30 a good look and if it is GTG then that is where we'll be setting up shop video-wise.

The purpose is to marginalize gun owners, turn us into a fringe group.  Drive us out of American culture and it will be just that much easier to outlaw guns.  So yes, it is unnerving, to say the least.  It is a strategy of political and cultural war, and it is having the desired effect.  That's why patriots need to fight back against it.  Any business that gives aid and comfort to the enemy on this should not be supported by any loyal American.
