This just out.. Youtube firearms policy
See what they do.. To all: Remember this is not GD. Last warning to stay on topic, this is the Reloading Forum. So your post should be about reloading/utube. It's off topic to post your utube account status. |

What is a good download app please? View Quote 4kvideodownloader will do the first 25 of a playlist if you don't pay, full playlists if you pay. I ponied up for a license, you can click on a channel, then "videos", then "play all", copy/paste the link, and 4kvideodownloader will grab all of their videos for you. I've definitely got a full night's downloads queued up on mine. Since we may not get time to discover them on our own, let's link to some save-worthy channels! Also should be noted that finishing 80% receivers would certainly fall under this, as would any self-made suppressors. |

Since Google owns YouTube, did you expect anything less as some point from a California based company?
Hell, do a search on google on something none PC with google, and half of the bottom page is the search exclusions that they will not link to give sites instead. No worries, and with them drawing a line in the sand for something still legal not being able to be posted on youtube, will just opens the door for another company to become a competing video host site isntead. Just don't use Google to try to look for it, since it not going to show up on their search pages as well (which will open the flood gates for another search engine site to compete with Google as well). |

How do they know what’s on the videos without watching them completely?
You can call it something innocuous like “My Cute Cat Video #21” and disable comments, don’t include any accurate descriptive text. You could even set the videos privacy to “unlisted” meaning only people with the link can see it. The same crap is going on with gun magazines ( the kind you read ) being banned from Kroger’s and other retailers. They want to discourage gun culture and make it seem anti-social, “only sickos like guns”. |

How are the people you want to watch the video going to find it? Can't search it, because there's no description and tags would give it away. Can't put out the link so that it's indexed on Google, because that would give it away. Kind of defeats the purpose of creating a kick-ass video that teaches new guys to reload. View Quote I have some unlisted shooting videos on YouTube and they have a very small number of views. They want to drive the gun culture underground and make it socially unacceptable to own guns. |

Quoted: Interesting. I wonder how much of that is automated by now, there’s 500 hours of video uploaded YouTube every minute. They would need a lot of employees to do this work manually. View Quote I think they should ban all gun videos too! And anything that could be used as an explosive. Even power tools that could be used in a dangerous way. Stunts - ban those too. The faster they burn their own house down, the faster we will get a better alternative. |

What we think they should do and what they are actually going to do is two entirely different things, Youtube, Google, Ebay, Paypal are all liberal communist supporters and they have more money than God, remember in this country money = Power and they got the power, we just need to build our own systems and get over it, because they don't give a shit folks and that is the way it is.
Sitting around here bitching about it, is not going to change anything, there are several of us working on new solutions to this, that is called innovation and it is what the internet has been all about since day one. |

Gee, it looks like all of their MOVIE TRAILERS are still up and well monetized:

I've never been crazy about reloading videos on youtube. Someone has a reloading setup and a video camera and suddenly they're a self-appointed expert making instructional videos.
I think if one wants to learn how to reload, they should acquire a few reloading manuals and READ. |

View Quote Sure there are "some" pompous jackwagons who think they're instructional authorities while their videos show nothing more than taking an item out of a box and reading the advertising material. However, there are many, many excellent videos that provide substantive, valuable instruction with verbal direction and visual examples that are often more valuable than just the written word. Another issue is that all people don't learn and retain info in the same manner. And BTW...most manuals have drawings and/or pictures to some degree because they know the value of visual instruction. |

I rarely watch any except for a few that have equipment or equipment modification/gadget reviews

I guess my issue with learning from youtube videos is a new handloader has NO idea whose videos are valuable and whose are junk. Generations have been learning handloading for over a century by reading, and that method still works.

I would never have attempted reloading if it weren’t for y tube
Sucks for anyone interested in this hobby who would rather see something done first but don’t have a mentor *I know there’s other visual media out there besides y tube but the ease of y tube was certainly a factor that played into it Now, I never refer to a y tube video only published data. But starting out to see how the process was done, sure |

If they do start knocking off legit firearm & reloading channels.. I say we all start flagging every stupid video (say a video on how to bedazzle your underwear) saying it has firearm content or advertises firearm content.. FLOOD them with work reviewing videos..

Almost like someone trying to censor the internet.
I dont go there much for reloading information, but sometimes the mods people make for their equipment is pretty cool. Also its been helpful a few times for researching a press or reloading tool before making the purchase. I was just checking out the tri-way trimmer on the grinder motor yesterday. |

I don't understand how I missed that "ammunition manufacturing" is included earlier. What I do see is YT coming out and saying that they can do anything they want, which is a given. This is merely the first wave, more will follow, and more after that. We need alternatives, and we need them quickly. Then we quit patronizing the bastards, no more YT, no more Google, no more Facebook, you get the idea. Everybody got way to comfortable sleeping with the enemy and thinking it would never affect them. Myself included. That has changed, move on. Let their advertising revenues fall, let their readership drop.
I don't mind that much, there are some really crappy reloading videos on YT, and there are plenty of firearms and reloading websites. You're currently on one of the largest. ETA, It's time for new glasses for this boy! |

I just checked out Full30.com and it seems pretty decent.
Not much for reloading videos, but I think that is going to change very quickly. |

Come on guys....there's a little too much drama over something that hasn't even happened yet. Believe it or not, there was life at the reloading bench before youtube, and life shall continue after they're gone.

I think some are missing the point.
Watching a video by an individual on How to Reload is not the kind of video I'd be attracted to. The Reloading Manuals are the best for that, it's a matter of trust, and known expertise. However there are some reasons to watch a video on reloading subjects: 1. Reviews of new equipment are often improved with a video to better help people judge whether they want or don't want. 2. Videos illustrating modifications to fix or improve tools can be watched to judged whether they are worthwhile to you. 3. You might even create a video to show others a problem you are having with a tool. The video might help someone help you. I'm sure there are more reasons......but I do agree that watching some guy you never heard of on YouTube load a box of rifle cartridges in 30 seconds using his blue wonder progressive is not the kind of instruction that replaces Dillon's manuals or your common sense. You have no idea he loaded them properly (properly sized cases, safe charges in every case, properly seated primers and bullets) or not. On the other hand, making people think they have to load like demons, is a good way to cause someone to get hurt loading or shooting such hurried loads. I'm including a link to a YouTube video I made ... just for an example of #2 above.....just so you see what I mean. Its just a case kicker and spent primer control on a Rock Chucker 2. The only point is a video along with a picture how-to can be useful.....and you can't get such ideas from a manual.......and no, I'm not the whiz kid that invented case kickers.....its one of many designs. https://youtu.be/h8tIZ-xVOT4 I just used that modified press to deprime a 1000 .40 S&W cases just before I wet tumbled them. I was really glad for the speedier operation. Prepping for loading is the slooow part. Now then, if YouTube bans all reloading videos this one will soon be history......so I'm wondering about Vimeo......any one know anything about them.....they don't seem to care about the ultra liberal Google's gun ban......and they are American. So.....I went to Vimeo and opened their basic free account....then uploaded the same video. Compare YouTube Above to Vimeo Below: https://vimeo.com/261339382 ...........they never insert ads which is a big plus. |

YouTube is
It could be a major hit to the Reloading community, or not. Notice that they specifically say "Ammunition Manufacturing." I do not think that Johnny's reloading bench, or FortuneCookie45LC are on the ropes, rather Dillon, Mark 7 that are on the chopping block. Hell, AR.15';s channel is a goner as well. Anyway you wanna look at it, it is a great loss of a resource for us reloaders. |

I've been downloading the YT reloading videos and i just went over 120GB of downloads so far. I still have a plenty of space left (2TB), so I will keep downloading, but I am running out of ideas which channel/playlist is good or not.
Any recommendation or want to share your favorite reloading channel or list? |

Reloading videos are certainly useful to our gun culture (even if some of us older men don't use them).
So how do we preserve access? One idea that's been floated is Arfcom hosting gun videos. Can any of you younger (ie - computer savvy) guys say whether that's feasible these days? I do know that computer memory is dropping in price all the time. |

Its not the memory.. Its storage... and yes its dropping but still a cost to it...
The problem is copyrighted you would have to figure out who's the copyright and will they allow you to move it from one place to another... This can be a legal nightmare... thank you Hollywood.. |
