I just checked out the Airguns of Arizona youtube site and got this message - "This account has been terminated for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines". They did have some hunting videos and I wonder if they were too graphic. A disturbing decision by youtube none the less.
Let's hope this attitude toward gun and hunting videos doesn't get out of hand.

Most airgun videos have been banned.... AoA are not the only one.... and it has nothing to do with hunting or graphic content.... Rick Eustler's AirGunWebTV is gone too....

I've been watching shotgun video's all morning and it's the airgun video's being removed? Absolute nonsense.

Bad news not just for us enthusiasts but especially for the producers of these videos. Besides Rick Eustler I see Ted Bier's sites are still on as well as Matt Dubber's and Steve Scialli's but for how long? I know for sure that Matt's and Steve's videos are their sole source of income.....Sad!

My sons channel has just been demonetized for not meeting the new criteria. IE: number of views and subscribership. As of Feb. 20 these new rules are in full effect. It's going to get a whole lot worse from here on in. Good thing he's not in for the money.
YouTube is in the process of taking the "You" out of YouTube, and selling it to Big Business and Advertisers. Way to go YouTube, disenfranchise the very people who built up YouTube into what it is today. Disgusting!
YouTube will soon be comprised of knitting videos, silly baby videos and cats cats and more cats. I personally am eagerly awaiting any new platform.
Meanwhile I suggest supporting your favorite channels through Patreon if at all possible.
Cheers

One theory is it appears to be a very successful, orchestrated flagging attack on gun channels of all types.
This has been pretty much proven by one major channel (500k subscribers) still online..by marking all his videos private, therefore unable to be flagged.

YouTube's automated algorithms do the rest.

Seems like maybe a good opportunity for a competitor channel to grow. Unfortunately Utube has become a household name in entertainment and DIY.

There is full30 (https://www.full30.com/) for firearm related stuff and Vimeo https://vimeo.com/ for regular videos. Of course, I hope YouTube reconsiders.

The video plays fine for me, but he privatized his other videos, perhaps that is why you cannot see them.
