This is a site about startups and tech and hacking.
Doesn't this sound like a golden opportunity for someone to stand up a video service dedicated to this niche? Basically Google and Reddit are stating that they don't want to lose ad revenue from other channels which they deem as more important. Sure they are wrapping it up as being socially conscious or something but it comes down to money. They are ad companies. Large ad firms for large brands might pull their stuff if they keep firearm channels around.
A service for this niche would probably get all of the firearm ad revenue that is leaving those platforms.

- thinkingemote 9y agoI'm guessing here... I think ad companies would be happy but it's their clients which are reacting to consumer lobbying. I also think YT and Reddit are also reacting based on this pressure. For a similar effect see StopFundingHate in the UK.
- noxToken 9y agoThe issues is getting your audience to follow. That's another website, another app, another feed to track. Ecosystems and walled-gardens work, because they allow easy interoperability with other products and services already offered. Starting a competitor against something like that tends to not get enough marketshare. This isn't saying that someone shouldn't try - it's just tough to do.
