I really appreciate those of you who touched base and supported the channel while it was in deep semi-retirement mode. Some of you have been around since 2009, while newcomers signed on to a channel that was morbidly inactive and floating listlessly in the murky backwaters of the Internet.
Not much has changed during the 2016-2019 hiatus with regard to priorities, family, business travel demands, time allocation, YouTube ad financing, etc. However, this mid-life crisis project is a creative outlet for my hobbies. I hope to engage here until YouTube fully demonetizes the channel, removes it permanently due to their “moving goalpost” of community guidelines….or the project simply becomes too time-consuming for one person to maintain. A blatant example of YouTube's bias against this genre......the video was demonetized before it could even go public. For the foreseeable future, new videos will appear on an infrequent basis and with no sense of priority or urgency.
Nearly 10 years of analytics reflecting what viewers have made most popular (9mm reviews, rifles, 22LR, shotguns, possibly some POV, etc.) is the focus of what will be posted moving forward. Your requests are considered a form of trend analysis, but please be realistic with regard to my capabilities and limitations.
I appreciate the offers for Patreon support, but at the moment I’m hesitant to go with crowdfunding. Viewer donations place me in a position of feeling obligated to provide content on a more consistent and timely basis, and that just isn’t feasible.....but I'll be open-minded on the topic. As for support, I am pleased to announce that gel blocks will be provided by Clear Ballistics, so please show them some gratitude for their contribution. All other resources including ammo, supplies, camera equipment, etc. are purchased out of pocket.
Thank you again for your support, and your understanding.
