Couldn't tell you but I can tell you I just deleted my account on YT because they no longer allow any ad blockers.
You gotta pay to view videos w/o being inundated with BS. NO THANKS!

Get better ad blockers.. mine work just fine. YT is BS, it’s only time before I stop using it for the more part as well.

ublock orgin on chromium browsers on my computer. On my iPhone I used Brave browser and the YouTube mobile page, all ads blocked.

johnny has the best triggers and method in the business IMO, improved stock!

As many know, YT has gone very woke with censorship. Several of my gun building videos were deleted without notice. And I was threatened with channel deletion if I didn't delete the others. Why did they summarily delete some and then insist I delete the others? Weird.

Screw them. I deleted all my gun videos and some non-gun videos. I had one performance driving technique video that had nearly 1.5 million views, and I never made a dime from it. So... screw them... I deleted it.

And I haven't posted a video to YT since. Now I post them to either Rumble or Odysee (but it looks like Odysee is in trouble).

On all my devices I have sideloaded ad free YT knock offs. Once I installed Downloader on my Fire TV I was able to install the proper version of Smart Tube. Both block YTs ads and Smart tube even skips intros and in video ads. Good stuff.

On my phone I use NewPipe.

I think Johnny is ill. I have had a few email exchanges with him the last few months and while he didn't say what the problem was it is my impression that something is up with health issues. Typically my emails are answered by Johnny himself, but the last response I got was from Jake, one of Johnny's guys. I can only imagine the rest.

WILL?? LOL! That ship sailed a year or two ago. Really.

Youtube deleted most of my P80 building videos and then warned me to delete the others or risk having my channel shut down completely. Weird... Why did they delete some and insist I delete the others??

I have never made a dime from YT, even from my video illustrating heel-toe shifting (performance driving technique), which had 1.5 million views. **** them, I took it down, too. Why should THEY make money on my content while censoring me?

I no longer post anything to YT, gun-related or otherwise. I'm done with being a YT content creator.
Rumble and Odysee are alternative video hosting platforms that... so far... SEEM to be committed to the ideals of Freedom.

There is no will. They already have.

Videos that show disassembly/reassembly or anything related, especially building, results in removal and/or strikes and bans. A lot of my favorite vids have been taken down, including one that just showed how to install the NY trigger as an example of how dumb Youtube policies are.

You also can't post videos with 30 round magazines.

Youtube is complete garbage.
