Title: youtube Hickok45 shut down again
Post by: shooter on January 09, 2016, 12:50:53 AM
  I think this is the third time that Hickok45 has been shut off on youtube this week, will all the outlandish people who post . I cant figure out why they shut him down. 
    Unless they are just shutting down firearms types

Need a "guntube" site (except that name is already taken).

I like this guy's videos and I want a shooting range like he has.

You'd think a group as big as the NRA or GOA could set up a site for this sort of thing.  It would not only be a great service to those of us interested in the subject but it would also probably be a money-maker.

I'd like to see them take another step and produce some TV shoes.  The first one would be a television version of their Armed Citizen column, complete with reenactments and perhaps in some cases critique of technique by experts, problems caused by failure to follow fundamental safety rules pointed out, and that sort of thing.  I think it would make a lot of money and do a lot of good.

First, Why not be The Guy that starts the channel, instead of waiting for someone else to?

Secondly, there was a You Tube channel devoted to Self Defense success stories.  But for the life of me I can't find them again

A search found this though- https://www.youtube.com/user/TheArmedCitizen (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheArmedCitizen)

Several people have tried making a "GunTube" in the past. The hard part really isn't the technology -- it's the money to run/host the technology. Not to mention the bandwidth required to smoothly stream all that video.
Anyway, one of the more popular recent attempts at creating "GunTube" is Full30 https://www.full30.com/

Google and YouTube tend to take automatic action and expect you to complain/appeal to fix it if it's wrong. I wonder if anti-gunners are falsely reporting his channel for something and then YT automatically takes it down after so many reports, then he has to contact support to get it back.

Its been back up for a while but apparently his videos were uploading simultaneously to YouTube and Google+. The "ban" came on the G+ side and not the YouTube side.

I subscribed to his channel a while back.  His reviews are usually pretty straight forward.  If he thinks it is a problematic firearm he calls it.  Seems like an easy going dude and his range is awesome as stated above.  And the chances of an anti gun user trying to troll him is pretty likely in today's "everyone is offended" day and age.
