Quoted: Quoted: I mean if your take away from people discussing black criminality is that people hate you or your friends that’s a you problem. You’re making the association. But I have seen a few people be viscous on here to others family. Like three times and it was aimed at spouses. If someone did that to him I would definitely understand why he went off. FTR, his wife is black, so yeah. Oh, well, coulda been something like that. Or he had a hang over. Or whatever. Shit happens. I mean he isn’t the official physical trainer of Arfcom. He’s a PR guy. I actually respect that they don’t put a fop or out front. If they did we’d find a reason to shit on the fop too. |

Quoted: It really is. Not being an ass, but mention arfcom to anyone who knows about it and it’s almost always “that place is retarded”. In my experience anyway. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Arfcom is a joke to the rest of the gun world and if you take their YouTube channel into consideration I totally understand why. TFBtv should be considered a baseline of excellent YT gun content, and then compare that to some fat fucking retard making reddit NPC faces at everything. I would say "it's embarrassing" but I guess if the owners don't care about their image why should I? Their industry sponsor checks keep rolling in so I guess it hasn't hurt business. It really is. Not being an ass, but mention arfcom to anyone who knows about it and it’s almost always “that place is retarded”. In my experience anyway. Sure, GD is pretty high on both the Retard Spectrum and Autism Spectrum. The tech forums have been spot-on, and a lot of ARF haters I've interacted with are more butt hurt to find their favorite gun store lore debunked. |

Quoted: A subscriber base of 100k+ on youtube should be raking in the money. It should be a revenue stream, not a budget. In the right hands, of course.

Tap a couple of us in that own and run actual production companies that do a lot of work for tactical companies that 1. People have seen and know and 2. Love. Brownells might just be amazed. Unless they have budgets of like $2000 or something, which a fat gross cringe that no one watches is what they get for that. A subscriber base of 100k+ on youtube should be raking in the money. It should be a revenue stream, not a budget. In the right hands, of course. No YouTube added commercials, very low "engagement" in the discussion. Revenue doesn't seem to be the focus. |

Andrew does a great job and we are thrilled to have him on board. Why? Because he handles the role above and beyond and works his tail off for the community. He's primarily our news guy and as such his role is to educate himself and others about what's going on in the 2A world. We also understand that the YouTube crowd is different than the web crowd and that differs from the FB/Twitter crowd, etc.
We have other personalities we work with for different content and you will see different channels opening up that are powered by ARFCOM. (Podcast for example!) So if you think you can do a great job on the content side, let us know! We are always looking for content creation that has value to the community. |

Arfcom gets my subscription to its YouTube but I never watch it.

The reason you never see Pro 2A celebrites posting in a place like this. If they do, it is incognito. Steven Crowder is a perfect example. He used to post here fairly regularly. I even recall seeing Arfcom sponsorship/ads on his Youtube videos. Not sure what ended that tie, but i recall threads where he would pop in. They steered in a typical pattern of drowning in suckass and detractor comments. Whether you enjoy or hate his type of humor, the man is vehemently pro 2A.

Arf has done an incredibly admirable job of as-neutral-as-possible moderation, despite the gripes it's actually damn difficult to get locked/banned around here unless you make some very deliberate efforts to do so. Unfortunately, arf GD is showing that avoiding subjective moderation and favoritism brings it's own problems. You won't clean up that kind of behavior without some kind of "arf-daddy" figure making a "this dude is just a douche" call once in a while. |

I'd say there's a lot of competition with firearms related channels. They probably are bad about censoring and demonetizing gun related videos as well. If they demonetize your video, it generally will not have sufficient virility. Because they don't make money off it. That is frustrating. In that regard, Facebook is actually much better about this. I've won 100% of my review appeals there, and maybe 40% on YT. As YT gets worse with guns, I would definitely look at alternative platforms. |
