    In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear;
    and safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here:
    the storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid;
    but God is round about me, and can I be dismayed?

    LOL. They get paid per view. YouTuber earns around $0.18 for each view, which amounts to $180 for every 1,000 views.

    So F those guys. Not helping them.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    I had a defective gun blow up in my hands one time.
    That was about enough of the bull shit for me.

    My son, when he was younger, tried his hand at being a Youtuber. They get paid based on ad clicks, not by views. Though there's clearly a correlation between views and ad clicks. No ads; no revenue. Unless, of course, a channel has been demonetized, in which case even though YT tries to load ads, the channel owner still doesn't get paid.

    I use Adblock, and get zero ads. FWIW.

    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Or wait an hour for nutnfancy or the Yankee marshal to make a video about it and not talk about it.

    I find the Slow Mo Guys videos interesting. Who else is freely providing what they do?

    You "no clicks for retards" lot don't sound too smart yourselves if you cannot figure out how to download a YT video directly and without ads.

    Despite the assertions of some, they are paid by view (clicks) and I don't wish help put money in their pocket. If you download the video with any of the video DL programs out there, it's basically another view.

    Maybe not due to being firearms related.
