Here's your chance, the money making opportunity you've been looking for.
Time to design a video hosting site that caters to the 2nd Amendment crowd (and other non PC topics).
You'll be RICH!!!!!!

Yes, YouTube and Twitter are clearly censoring even polite and rational videos now.
I have thought a bit about this and decided that it would have to be some kind of distributed system to avoid other avenues for censorship, such as individual ISPs blocking such video hosting, or the blocking of specific domain names.
I don't even care about making money at it. The lopsidedness of the censorship calls for public cooperation. It should be some ongoing open source project.

Yep here you go Patrick! Think about it, there is a huge market share, and there is a need. For google it's not significant enough to care about, and they hired some idiot to cater to left wing extreme.
At bare minimum invest into some other site, since market need won't go away, it'll just move to another website where they can do that.
Speaking of other sites, anyone know who is a publicly traded video like youtube? They are going to grow if all that content moves over to them instead.

He's right.

You're missing the boat. I've been reading in multiple forums how pissed the gun owners are on this. Many use Youtube frequently for equipment tips, reviews, training, etc.
Remember, there are over 100 MILLION firearms owners in our country, and that's before all the rest of the countries on the planet. There's a YYuuggeee chunk of people looking for a new home!

I can see that going over really big in certain families. "But honey, I was just watching a video on how to sight in my new rifle". "That naked woman you saw on the screen was the instructor".

YouTube will ban videos that promote or link to websites selling firearms and accessories, including bump stocks, which allow a semi-automatic rifle to fire faster. Additionally, YouTube said it will prohibit videos with instructions on how to assemble firearms. The video site, owned by Alphabet Inc.’s Google, has faced intense criticism for hosting videos about guns, bombs and other deadly weapons.
For many gun-rights supporters, YouTube has been a haven. A current search on the site for “how to build a gun” yields 25 million results, though that includes items such as toys. At least one producer of gun videos saw its page suspended on Tuesday. Another channel opted to move its videos to an adult-content site, saying that will offer more freedom than YouTube.
