History of Weapons & War

[Weaver]

History of Weapons & War is a subscription video service started by Ian McCollum of the Forgotten Weapons Youtube channel. It brings together various military channels from Youtube, on a platform where there are no ads, and which is free of the increasingly restrictive rules that limit what Youtubers can show or talk about (especially irksome for guntubers). Algorithm and rules changes mean that an increasing number of these channels expect their Youtube presence to become impossible or commercially non-viable in the next few years, so this gives them a home and way for people who enjoy their content to support them.

Subscriptions are £8/$10 a month, with a free 7 day trial.

Channels on the platform so far:

Forgotten Weapons
Military History Visualised
The Chieftain
The Armourer's Bench
Royal Armouries
Legacy Collectibles
British Muzzleloaders
9 Hole Reviews
Cap & Ball
Bloke On The Range

Probably going to be more in the near future.

I'm in the process of convincing myself to subscribe, as I (almost) religiously watch at least 5 of those channels & YT's rules are becoming ridiculously restrictive.

The term "nanny state" comes to mind regularly, often followed by "police state".

It's the mangling of language with ever more euphemisms that gets me:

You can't say "rape" so it's "the R-word",
You can't say "sexual assault" so it's "SA",
You can't say "Nazi" so it's "the Austrian Painter's Party",
You can't say "suicide" so it's "self delete",
etc, etc...

It's not like anyone in the audience doesn't understand what's meant by these euphemisms: the whole point is that they DO understand what's meant, so what's the point of forcing them on people?
