Hey Tinker. I knew who you were since the Swordforum days. I discovered your gun channel only recently. I enjoy your content and your style of story telling. Hope I'll be seeing you somewhere, whatever happens.
The problem is while YT plays the “Private Business” card which they think allows them to “do as they please” to Creators changing the rules as they see fit and monitoring and banning content especially when it is legal , on the other they play the “we are just a public conveyance” card if anyone attempts to sue them for some very questionable content that they allow. Unless they are bought out, another platform arises or like in Europe there’s a massive suit and or the government does get involved and says “No you can’t have it both ways!” and forces the into the public conveyance role. Meanwhile see you on player.
Tinker your content is respectable and responsible. TH-cam is giving away to political correctness and capitulating to the peer pressure. It is content like yours that opens up dialog on firearms and firearms safety. Whether people like it or not guns are a part of this world and no amount of legislation is going to remove them. Isn’t it better to be knowledgeable than to blindly accept the sentiments of an emotionally charged movement? Your content is informative and has historical content. TH-cam isn’t necessarily evil, they are just bending to peer pressure and as a result are further broadening the gap between responsible fun owners/enthusiasts and those that are uninformed.
I'm a tiny little channel and I don't even predominantly talk about guns. My vids on guns disproportionately get comments from friends along the lines of: "Hey I haven't seen any vids, did you stop uploading?" I also won't get notifications about comments on them. This platform HATES guns for some reason, even if you do everything legally, everything by the books.
Man, that's terrible. I'm sorry for your troubles with YT! Somethings I just don't understand. It is wise that you have a Plan B, that's now Plan A. 👍👍
Oh man. That sucks. I live in fear of this. Odysee is another good platform. Very libertarian community standards and the videos are hosted using block chain technology so only you can remove them. When I post something to TH-cam, it’s automatically backed up on Odysee. Rumble is supposed to do that as well but it doesn’t always work.
When I look at Playeur it seems mostly German language content. Yes I noticed your vids disappeared. It also impacts viewers who take the time to comment and enjoy replies from you and other viewers.
Yes. You Tube is focused on their customers (advertisers) at the expense of the product (content creators and viewers.) As long as they are making money hand over fist that won't change.
I feel bad for you and all of the other gun channels. What TH-cam does to creators is simply unjust. Not only do they not follow their own rules, but they change them constantly on a whim and none of their rules are open for your interpretation. They strike a channel or remove videos without any real appeal system as it is done without human interaction, so you have little to no recourse for what has been done.
This' sad news, & the arbitrary ways YT enforces its rules sucks. IIRC a few months back YT went after Hickok45, which the (one of the?) largest firearms on YT. The issue I have with some of the We-Welcome-Firearms-Content! video sites is they allow a lot political content. I don't watch firearms channels to be told what to think & how to vote.
You need to clarify your comment. Are you criticizing TH-cam for causing this or are you criticizing Tinker for reacting to their bullshit? Because if it's #2 and you 'don't know what to think', cry home to your momma.
Sorry for all the frustration, you do awesome content and it is much appreciated! Unfortunately YT cuts out decent, peaceful people from having a little enjoyment in life while they do nothing about the actual garbage. How are you supposed to have a million followers if they destroy your content that is just sprouting? Keep the faith brother it will be better one way or another!
Tinker, don’t give up. Your videos are fantastic and I really enjoy your style and presentations. Keep it up!
I feel for you. These bastards are evil.
Same is happening to me Tinker. No option to discuss with anyone at youtube. Glad to hear you are re-uploading. I am going to do the same!
Dam Mike, sorry to hear that.
I’ll follow you wherever you are! Love your videos
Thanks for the link, I’ll be following you on Playeur.

Thank you! I'll keep making them, rest assured.
Hang in there Tink
Damn! That really sucks. Man, I am so sorry.
Rumble is a safe haven and lifeboat for TH-camrs… Just a thought.
Cheers!
Will get Player!

Bummer makes me sad!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸
Me too.
Never let the bastards get you down we are all behind you Tinker. Fight, Fight, Fight!!

Don't give up Tinker. There is a sea change in the making, and it's coming.
I'm sorry to hear that. There are no good answers.

How about the Rumble platform?
Oh man. That sucks. I live in fear of this.

Scratch that, actually. I just discovered Odysee stopped synching my TH-cam content in September. Not enough traffic.

They need to lose their protections. Maybe when Trump is back. Censor this 🖕🇺🇲
You think the guy aligned with Peter Thiel is going to try to restrict big tech companies?
i dunno if youtube is really private it can be accessed by nearly everyone in the world at any time and is owned by a publicly traded company
LAWSUIT!!
you can request a manual review if you like
That option is now unavailable to me. I don't know why or when that happened.
@tinkertalksguns7289 really i had no idea thats some dirty stuff theyre doing
@@GeorgiaRidgerunner Agreed.

Just hold the line elon musk is about to buy you tube so just hold the line because they are pretty much done
LOL the war against AI is real !
What is the platform your now using mate I’ll sign up
Playeur.com You can watch the videos there and follow for free; there's no paywall.
This' sad news, & the arbitrary ways YT enforces its rules sucks. IIRC a few months back YT went after Hickok45, which the (one of the?) largest firearms on YT.
The issue I have with some of the We-Welcome-Firearms-Content! video sites is they allow a lot political content. I don't watch firearms channels to be told what to think & how to vote.
Are you okay with people archiving your work as long as there's no monetary incentive
Sure.
So it's all behind a paywall now. I don't know what to think. 😐
You need to clarify your comment. Are you criticizing TH-cam for causing this or are you criticizing Tinker for reacting to their bullshit? Because if it's #2 and you 'don't know what to think', cry home to your momma.
It isn't; you can follow on Playeur and watch the videos for free. You don't need to subscribe.
See you on player
