Youtube tightening noose on gunsmithing/reloading vids?

I previously suggested a comprehensive “2A information network” that would provide one stop shopping but it was shot down by people insisting they have a right to use someone else’s property.

They certainly DO NOT have such a monopoly.

You can go out right now and get yourself a hosting account and put whatever the fuck you want on it (more or less) - for cheap too. A whopping $4/month, with unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth (https://www.a2hosting.com/web-hosting/compare).

• If you lack the meager technical skills to do so, that's not anyone else's fault.
• If you lack the wherewithal to entice people to visit your site, that's not anyone else's fault either.
• If you're not able to make money from it - again, not anyone else's fault.

But it is certainly not true that YouTube has a monopoly on video hosting. Not even remotely true.

What I meant was that because Google/YouTube is so massive in the video hosting arena they should tread carefully as they might open themselves up to regulation. They could be labeled a utility and then be subjected to government oversight. I know there are others out there but what comes to mind first if someone says to themselves 'I want to start a channel'? What do you think comes to mind first when people want to see user created content? YouTube, that's what.

They could be nationalized too....or told they're only allowed to serve porn.

Youtube is lucky they don't bake cakes for a living because then they'd be forced to provide services to those they don't agree with.

YouTube is a good example of how the internet has turned into an echo chamber where they collect information on you, feed you only what they think you like and never let you see anything that will challenge your own beliefs. That way, they maximize your clicks and thus....their money. The war isn’t what you think it is. In fact, the world created by the internet is a cartoon, and we are the main characters. Acme delivery service is to the coyote what he establishment is to the internet.

Do we need a poll for that?
