They have work arounds for it, Brandon’s recent video on the M2 browning taking the piss for example. They weren’t retrospectively deleting old videos just de-monetizing then to my understanding.
Plus they have started a new platform that a lot of guntubers have joined, Pepperbox, so they still post censored stuff to YouTube but would probably be making more from Pepperbox now.
Yea they post to other channels un edited. Rumble is another a few went to a while ago like MAC. They still post on utube but with naughty bits cut out.
They also demonetize and rely on sponsors and other ways viewers can donate to fund the channel and stfu utube income.
A lot of viewers have dropped their Utube premium subscriptions because of the last changes on June 18th. I don’t subscribe to them just Ublock their shit and they can get stuffed. Supposed to be a free streaming service now they are getting greedy.
Yeah it’s like why would I pay to use a service that is actively trying to remove the content I want to watch on said platform.
I have no issues with ads, when it’s not overly intrusive or long winded, but I’m not going to support a platform that’s screwing with the creators it needs for revenue.
