The left can't get guns banned, so they're trying to de-legitimize them everywhere they can. Once guns are no longer a part of mainstream American society and are solely the province of "yahoos", the war will be 90% over.

We need a one stop web site that publishes 2A friendly stores and anti 2A stores so we can put our money toward the friendly stores. Includes all types of businesses.

Unfortunately this model only preaches to the choir. Not many 2A uninitiated are going to randomly (read click on video suggestion from an unrelated topic) hear the gospel on a site dedicated specifically to 2A. This is an attempt to de-legitimize us as people. "Yahoos" indeed.

Just spreading the word about a possible new alternative for YouTube. I've already created an acct and uploaded one video. Seems easy so far:
A guy on akfiles made a website and it started yesterday. Already a ton of videos have been uploaded in the last 23 hours that it's been active.

I have never been on Facebook and have no desire to. I could probably count on my hands the number of YouTube videos that I have watched and most were links here, I actually do not even prefer google as a search engine. Heck I guess I am surprised I am not commuting via horse.

Reliance upon the interwebs is generational unless an older person's career compelled them to be tech savvy. Not sure what the cut off would be for those who would be classified as technology dependant.

Has anyone else, or would we even notice if it has? I think Youtube could just make channels disappear if they wanted, and we would never know without people speaking up. I am wondering if this will hurt small channels disproportionately, or if it is already happening to them. I have been specifically researching best 300 blk magazines, and some videos just never load. This could be from a error in my internet or censorship, I don't know.

The great news about America is that we are free to set up an Internet site to compete with any of the offending sites listed. I don't believe there would be any legal reason why the NRA or other interested entity couldn't launch its own video content website containing whatever they wanted to feature. As much as we want those other services to be different, they won't be and if we think the Government is going to get involved to make it happen, I would argue that it is antithetical to the entire concept to expect Government to solve your problems.

I do think the market is mature enough that it could support alternatives - web browsers and internet video content sites. Takes money to make money.
