Content

We have demonetized all of InRangeTV's content on YouTube.   

They can keep it.

The future of the internet is in flux, and we're at one of those pivot points right now.  Will we allow the "old media" to control the conversation and the information distribution paths or will we, the consumers, take control and opt for a better, more decentralized future?

The future of our this project, and ultimately the internet as whole is in your (and our) collective hands.

Consider joining the EFF, they are the last line of defense in regards to our digital rights!

Love you guys ! I will support you as best as I can!

You will keep getting my $3 a month. I forget whether I put $2 in inrange or on forgottenweapons, but I value both. Net neutrality matters. Declaring your biases matters. I will not pay for an information source which lies to me up front by claiming to be objective.

Sidney Reilley

And I just wanted to support your gun content. . looks like I got more then I bargained for, but keep up the good work. And thanks for opening up a whole new world. You can count on my support.

MediumTim

just bumped up my pledge. Keep it up.

Like many others... Just doubled my pledge. Your work is rewarding and important and the message in recent videos was perfectly conveyed: taking the power from the big conglomerates is always a healthy step.

Michael Smith

Keep up the good fight. I was already on board, but I hope others follow.

Well said and well done, Gentlemen! I heartily agree, and I recommend everyone supports your channel on Patreon and makes a donation to the EFF, who's been supporting (and advancing) our digital rights for nearly 30 years now.

JacKetch

Thank you for continuing to do what you do - I value your content (and Forgotten Weapons') and have increased my pledge to both. While I suspect that your viewership on Full30 is lower than youtube, I have turned off adblock on Full30 and will continue to watch your videos there. Again, thanks for putting out quality content.

Red Dot

Just supported your initiative. I hope it works out well for you.

Scott Shaw

I saw your effort to Demonetize the web. Hope it works.

Richard Biondi

You guys are right on! We recognize that "diversity" which comes via decentralization. The more choice, the more freedom.

First of all, I understand your plight and your choice to solve it, and I will support you by moving from $1 to $5 here on Patreon. That said, I have a concern about how you said things can work in the future. You say that, separated from the need for advertising revenue, you don't have to worry about Google's discovery algorithms. But is that really true? You still need eyeballs to get new people to convert them to Patreon supporters. And now Google has even less incentive to give you new eyeballs, since they aren't making money off of your videos either. I know you are looking for alternate ways to spread the content, but it seems that Google is still somewhat in the driver's seat for now.

Ella Olsson

You just got me as a supporter.

Thomas Ross

I bumped my support up from $2.50 to $5.00 a month for InRange and Forgotten Weapons. I believe in both of y'all and I really enjoy the content!

Alex Wiecke

It's been nearly a year since my payment information lapsed on Patreon. This morning I watched this video and that idea of corporate control of art crystallized for me. I've fixed my account info, and have made the decision to budget into my monthly expenses to spread between the content creators that truly add value to my life. Ian, Karl, keep it up.

Matisse Enzer

As you guys know I'm a supporter of InRange, and I joined EFF right when it started - I worked at the place EFF started (The WELL) and slightly know the 3 founders (Mitch Kapor, John Barlow, and John Gilmore) so I'm on board with all the digital freedom stuff. I do think it is very hard to build a direct-to-consumer support mechanism for something that relies on mass-marketing or mass communication. That is, it is one thing to have 200 patrons who provide relative large amounts, but a system that relies on 10s or hundreds of thousands or millions of individual participants is a different matter. So: I wish you success and I'll increase my pledge by $3/month.

Brian Clark

Bumping up to $5 a month because of this.

OK demonetising your youtube content is risky but I totally understand why you’re doing it. The content of any channel shouldn’t cater to a third party. The fact that you’re not sponsored means a lot; if you were looking for sponsorship I bet you wouldn’t have said everything you did about the Mossberg Shockwave and Colt's $2500 reproduction SP1. So you’ve stepped up to the plate and so should we as supporters (if we are able to do so financially). I want to see when the part 2 of this video comes around that you don’t need youtube’s money and thus have creative freedom but that isn’t going to happen if I sit around for the next three or four months so I’ve upped my donation to both InRange and Forgotten Weapons to $5 apiece. You do good content and that deserves recognition. It is so refreshing to see content that is of the standard I would expect from a Russel Group university lecture rather than stuff like FPS Russia’s content. You guys need to stick around and do so with complete control over what you make. If you want to stake so much on your supporters then I say you’re on, let’s make this happen.
