PSR is an awesome channel and his music slaps. He doesn't give any instructions or links to files or anything else. He just shows completed examples he built that the community designed. YouTube needs to fuck off with the censorship. The information is all out there. They aren't protecting anybody.

lol as if they are doing it to protect anybody.

nothing YouTube ever does, or Google for that matter, is to protect anything but their ad revenue.

It might quell the lifestyle image of the phenomenon. If it does, it's only a few drops in the bucket.

why should they be OBLIGATED to help the gun nuts?

I thought your type all believed in freedom mate, what right do you have to tell a private corporation how to run their fucking business?

you're just upset they're blocking your fetish.

They can do whatever they want, sure. What I will say is the moving goalposts for certain "undesirable" content is pretty ridiculous especially if you consider the history of YouTube. Several of the first partner channels and many of the oldest YT channels are gun channels. They were glad to exploit that community to build their platform, but will throw them under the bus at every turn if it can be used to virtue signal or pander to advertising partners.
