Down the Tubes - The War on Guns

Screen shot of page with video I used in las t post:

That’s as tame as I’ve seen– others have been a lot more explicit, forcing a quick reaction when trying to watch something with my three-year-old granddaughter on my knee. I’ve contacted them before, a few times now, and always get a hollow, no-reply response:

They know about it:

Explicit ads are plaguing YouTube and it’s only getting worse

And they’re incentivized not to fix it:

What can you do to protect yourself from inappropriate ads on YouTube? The easiest (but probably not the most pocket-friendly) way to protect yourself from bad ads on YouTube is to get a YouTube Premium subscription.

These are the same bastards who told me “We wanted to let you know our team reviewed your content, and we think it violates our child safety policy,”about an innocent family video sent as a Christmas gift to my wife and my parents.

UPDATE

And again…

My daughter wanted an “American Girls” doll.

Specifically, she wanted “Felicity”, a doll representing a girl who had “lived” in colonial Williamsburg, VA before it became a tourist destination.

My wife suggested she google “American Girls.”

Don’t want to hear your 10 year old daughter hysterically screaming? Don’t suggest she google “American Girls.”

Even more bizarre is when you are searching for an innocuous video (in my case, it was the one where the woke apartment dwellers who cheered on a BLM march got a brick through the window in gratitude), and you find it, but the icon and caption in the results page for the clip you want are indecent and have NOTHING to do with the video, nor are they the fault of the person who posted it. I can’t even imagine how that happens.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
