Content

Please be aware that what is likely the tamest gun related content on YouTube, Bloke on The Range, has suddenly been *terminated* without warning.

While this has not yet happened to IRTV, or FW for that matter, it's alarming and very concerning behavior.

I hope they restore his channel, of course, but I want to remind you supporters that when this day comes, that IRTV is very decentralized and that you'll find all of our distribution points on www.inrange.tv.

This isn't about me, or us, however, it's about BotR.   

We all know where this is going.

His channel isn’t for me but bloody hell - that’s some of he least offensive firearms content you can find. I’m curious as to why.

Ken McNamee

Ugh, I had 6 of his videos in my Watch Later playlist and they all show "Deleted Video" now. What's next? BritishMuzzleLoaders? Sheesh, pretty soon the only gun content allowed on YT will be idiots taking a buzzsaw to their ARs or turning them in to the police to be "destroyed".

Bloke on the Range

Thanks Karl - it's worse than a suspension, it's a TERMINATION without ANY prior warning.

Ken McNamee

Maybe the person that reported BotR got really offended when he debunked the "Garand ping will get you killed" myth. ;)

Billy Kelley Jr.

Very disappointing, not surprising though. I fully expect AK operators union to go at any time, they've been fighting people flagging their channel for awhile now. It goes to show when they changed their terms and so many people were saying that nothing's changed and they aren't going to take down all the gun channels suddenly that those people weren't understanding what was happening, it's going to be slow and gradual, demonitize the majority and then slowly start deleting the ones that don't leave voluntarily due to lack of making money, death by a thousand cuts, just like the government has been doing with the legislation.

Sam

My reaction to this was “No waaaaay!” I can’t quite believe my fellow countryman would be hung out to dry like yesterdays jam

Josh B.

Wow a well spoken Person teaching historical knowledge is banned. Apparently history is offensive now. Fuck leftists.

Colburn Freml

On Youtube, you can't show that firearms can be used for anything but hooligan nonsense => See demolition ranch.

William Conway

What in the f**k. Bloke on the Range is the tamest firearms content, eclipsed only by Mishaco. That sucks.

Kamil Pakieła

It's funny how "commercial" gun channels like nra tv, TheGunCollective and others which are hugely sponsored and showing modern guns are somehow less in danger while strictly promoting gun sales in their videos.

Steel Talon

AK operators union is one strike away. They denied his appeals. One of the videos that got strikes had literally no shooting in it.

MattC10/63

Hope he can get on Full30.

Richard Cox

The very capriciousness of these actions by YouTube appears to be their M.O. Their 'community guidelines' are deliberately vague. Often they take these draconian steps, then after repeated requests re-instate the channel...sometimes not. I can see a method here....this is a way to maximize the level of stress and harassment for gun-tubers. Rather than just ban all gun videos outright, they arbitrarily kill some for no obvious reason. Everybody is now wondering, "If BoTR got banned, when am I going to get it?" Then things quiet down for a while and they do it again. What a bunch of wankers!

Kyle Dumond

This is what they do- silence all voices that don’t subscribe to their indoctrination- no matter how tame that voice is- and suppress information.

Louis W. Reuter II

I just want to get this straight in my mind. Bloke on the Range gets terminated yet they continue to air Survivor. I'm waiting for everything to have straight angles, no curves, Bizzaro world here we come!

Bloke on the Range

None. A few seconds after the termination e-mail I got another one saying a vid on a Swiss sniper rifle had been deleted for infringing community guidelines. No idea which guideline and why. It was the real "unerwarteter Nackenschuss..."

@ InRange TV, what are your thoughts on Prager University’s lawsuit against YT? They are currently in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Corey Allhands

Are you kidding me? This shows that it isn't about them enforcing new rules. It is about taking gun channels out.

InRange TV

I think Prager's lawsuit isn't very strong. They'll lose.

Corey Allhands

This shows it isn't about following rules, because they aren't following their own rules. No warning for a channel that (I assume?) hasn't had any previous issues. They just want guns gone.

Matisse Enzer

Well Karl, I hate to say it, but you told us so!

InRange TV

I know. I don't want to be correct, honestly.

christopher

Do we have a plan Capt? As a supporter community what should we do?

Colburn Freml

That really makes no sense at all, but I guess if they pull out all the stops is silences voices faster.

David E Pyshora

I guess I'll have to increase my Patreon support for the Bloke & Chap to offset the pittance they may have been getting from YT.

Ian Stobie

Holy crap..if can ban him they won't stop til there's not so much as a super soaker advert on YT

Mark Farris

NAZIS! Someone needs to step up with some alternative Vicetube Hatetube not only to compete but to even support unsavory idea partly out of spite. Also Full30 and others need to be on Amazon and Roku.

Military Arms Channel

I'm trying to do what I can. I asked my FB followers to blowup YouTubes inbox. We're also going to get him setup on Full30 ASAP.

Giulio Flore

Just sent a protest to those jesters, and dropped appeals on FW and TFBTV.

Giulio Flore

Never mind Survivors: flat earth nuts, charlatans of all stripes, race baiters, bitcoin con artists, you name it, I got them on the suggestion list and the side bars as soon as I open the YT page. And at work, when I have a break at work and look on to publication such as Technology Review and The Scientific American, What do I see? Yessir, RED DOT SIGHTS ads! Google then does not mind the advertising revenues, they are happy to push the nasty, death dealing products they are so exercised by on YT. Still, they go after a couple of 40 something British engineers in Switzerland, with a small audience of like-minded fellow nerds, basically minding their own business and not trying to sell anything to anybody except some pennyworth of fan club merchandise. I bet if they had some Adsense contract and had been paying some kickback to Google they could sell hard drugs online and YT would not turn an hair. All hail sodding corporate America ....

TJ

It appears Tyrion's assessment was correct. We're f*cked.

Eric Hentz

Have you guys considered using your site, or possibly creating another site, as a central hub for decentralized content? Basically just a page that links various content creators to their different distribution networks, similar to what you do with your own? You could use a wiki model, or make it so individual creators could moderate their own pages to reduce the workload on yourself.

Giulio Flore

General Foch disagrees with you: "Accepting the idea of a defeat, is being defeated... ".

Giulio Flore

All Hail Lucipher, the Bringer of Light!

Matisse Enzer

In all seriousness I think the approach you are taking, of multiple distribution channels is excellent. Barring some miracle that defines systems like YouTube as some sort of "common carrier" there really is not another option. The essence of the Internet is distributed, redundant channels where, as John Gilmore put it "...the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it"

Joe_K

Por Que’.

Deviant Ollam

MAC you have mentioned asking folk to ping YouTube about this. any details on the contact info you're recommending folk use?

TheOlsonOutfit

"tamest" is no exaggeration. I suspect a coordinated flagging. But YouTube is also to blame for not warning the Creator.

Łukasz Papaj

Small Arms Solutions (Chris Bartocci) first, now this. He seems also to be struck for spam. Yeah, seems that being small gun channel with informative content is a ticket to bantown these days. Patostreaming and being general idiot on the other hand ...

CavScout

Obviously the goal of the liberals is to remove all the gun-related content from youtube, thereby making it much less mainstream and leading to less 'gun people' in the future.

Corey Allhands

Looks like he's back up now, though with one strike.

100radsbar

On a completely different matter, it seems my pledge (paid via PayPal) has trouble being processed, anyone else having this problem?
