YouTube Monetization War (Patreon)

To all our Patreon supporters -

You are more important than you have ever been.

It appears that YouTube has started, or at least played its hand early, in regards to its goals - quiet demonetization of all content that isn't acceptable to the mass media conglomerates.  

They didn't demonetize the content directly, they've merely placed it in a category that does not get associated with *most* advertising content.

Let me iterate once again that YOU are the reason InRangeTV exists.   Even if the monetization on YouTube does not return, InRangeTV will continue because of YOU.   We'll be hobbled a bit, but continuing none the less.

You have used your money as a weapon in regards to ensuring that the content you want to see is not subservient to corporate overlords and for that I am humbled and thankful.

Thank you.

Karl

Might be time to revitalize the RDB giveaway patreon campaign.

Does InRange get YouTube Red money? If yes, which platform is better for me to watch your content on, YouTube or Full30?

Sean Smith

I wonder if InRangeTV can get on Twitch with PewDiePie...

Are you and Ian looking into alternatives to youtube? I know you are on Full30 but I was curious if you guys had some other platforms in mind.

InRange TV

Twitch is a video game oriented platform, so I doubt it. Right now Full30 is our alternative.

By chance could this also be affected by YouTube as a whole losing some major advertising support recently? Not that I wouldn't put it past them to indirectly censor certain content, but I also have been seeing a lot about YouTube taking heat and losing advertising revenue lately. In any case I hope we continue to see more support for the excellent content you guys put out, thank you as well.

It's definitely related but it's hitting certain types of content specifically. You'll notice that mass media associated channels, like Comedy Central, have full fill rates on ads.

Unfortunately they are a private organization which can do as they please. Full30 is awesome but it's hard to reach new people and have this type of education on a Website that many people don't know of, or rather don't know that they may like what's on it. Sucks YouTube is being a humongous boob right now.

Glad we can keep this going in spite of them.

And thank you for using "ensuring" instead of "insuring" correctly. =P

I sort of meant mine as a joke, but the submit on enter screwed me up. ☺

Ah, the dreams of a free and open internet... twisting like last autumn's leaves on a twig.... I will continue to support the content providers I choose. I just wish Full30 would run better. Youtube is rapidly approaching boycott territory for me. Much like Amazon already has. That is my issue with Twitch. Amazon owned.....

I for one will increase my patreon from $1 to $3. The channel is doing some of the best stuff on the net. I am super excited about the idea of bringing a mystery rifle to 2GACM for you to give Ian and he give to you. The idea of finding where the rifle is hitting quickly on the clock, never shooting it before, has the potential to show some cool stuff. Thanks for all you guys do for us!

Well said Karl this is why I am a supporter... thanks guys

I've been thinking about doubling my $1.00 /mo pledge anyway, so I figured now is the time, if for no other reason than to give the finger to YouTube,! Hey, it's not much, but if half the $1.00/mo pledges became $2.00, it would make a noticeable difference. So I* just upped my pledge to $2 and invite others to consider doing something similar.

I'm not sure what this means but itsound

As I was saying, it sounds like the work of cal -trash liberal thought police.

I work for a other gun youtube channels and we were told it is was a knee jerk reaction and that things should return to normal before long. We will just have to see.

Perhaps, although I believe this shows where things are going eventually regardless of if this fix this instance.

Facism is the merger of state and corporate power.

Fuck yeah... I feel good about myself today for this. Thanks for the thanks, Karl.

I love your content, especially the matches. I just raised my Patreon support from $1 to $3 a month. Cheap at any price and Screw U-Tube.

Joshua McCoy

well, temporary measure it may be, that won't be much comfort to the people and channels who fail to survive the turnaround. I have my doubts about Patreon, but if it helps the people I want to support, I guess it's better than Youtube

It's all a give and take situation. Use the street for your purposes and do your best to not get run over in the process. :) ~Karl

I try to watch on Full30 when I can. I hope that helps you guys. I'm happy to be a supporter, and the recent Henry videos further cement that feeling

Paul Craig

I'm glad Patreon is working out.

I'm happy to give a bit of help. Your program is always enjoyable.

Nick

With the recent events unfolding, I see now more than ever that it is important to support the creators I enjoy. It's not much, but I know every bit helps to keep the show up and running!

Up'ed my pledges for both InRange and Forgotten Weapons. Thanks for all the great content, entertainment, and educational / interesting material

It's a lose lose for some channels to accept products or money from firearm and parts companies. Look at the comments in other firearm channels and see how many times a viewer accuses them of being a shill for company a,b, or c. By taking money from Patreon supporters, they are free from the unwritten obligations that come with requesting T&E firearms, or other products (i.e. "what a great product"). The income from here allows them to not be bound to YouTube by revenue, and can use their platform to get more eyes on the content. Revenue from Patreon allows them to purchase products for review without any strings attached.

This was the final push to get me on Patreon and supporting InRange and Forgotten Weapons. You guys are the best thing on the Internet in a long time and are partially responsible in encouraging me to pick up action shooting again (SRA, Finnish "applied reservists' shooting") and getting a suitable rifle.

Michael Smith

Good luck with the good fight, you two. Even before this b.s. started, supporting this channel was a no-brainer.

Sootch00

Funny you should say "Sootch" since I've never taken a dime from any gun company. Too many people buy on my recommendation for me to mislead. Hate that you feel that way but that's life. I just became an Inrange TV patron.

Sootch00

Karl, I sincerely appreciate your video on this subject. It inspired me to move to the next level. Thanks for all you guys do! ~ Sootch00

Wow, humbling! Thank you! More to come and I'm doing a lot of brainstorming right now. I think we'll see some interesting things coming out of InRangeTV beyond just more video content. :) ~Karl

I've been watching you guys on Full30 from the beginning so just keep doing what you're doing! Keeping the fires of the 2nd Amendment and joy of shooting alive!

I wonder if the meddling intrusion by our elite masters will ever subside. Doubtful---it's the nature of the beast.

Now is the time to stand up to You Tube censorship.

phil cole

Clearly it is restricted content because Ian's luxurious flowing locks are making nuns and housewives think sinful and indecent thoughts.
