>>1340917There's BILLIONS of dollars to be made off of gun nuts cuz they're a starving mob of addicts flush with cash. Ready access to that market via youtube ads is a fucking goldmine for marketers. Youtube didn't demonetize and deplatform gun channels because they're "not ad friendly."
There's tons of overlap with knife collectors, military history collectibles, prepper supplies, self defense, etc. markets and those guys are fuckin rabid. Easy money. Especially with the pandemic confirming all the prepper types' deepest beliefs. Christ, they can't even keep MREs in stock anymore. By deplatforming/demonetizing these channels, YouTube is quite literally losing money. And they know it.
Youtube/google/alphabet shut those (and MANY others) down because they're quite literally freedom-hating pseudo commies. Not even memeing. Otherwise there's no way in hell they'd turn down millions of dollars just to spite those they consider ideological enemies.
