Morning mate,
Good point well presented... and from personal experience, il put a bit of context as to why i don't think many will post anymore..
I am fanatic about precision rifles/kit/shooting for practice/varminting/foxing and deer stalking... Over a year ago i decided to go to the effort of making several tasteful/lengthy youtube videos, which showed everything from my reloading process, to setting up in the field, taking wind readings, setting up for shots and then from distances of 200-650 yards- making repeated accurate shots on steel targets at vermin (no blood or gore, because all vermin was too far away to see blood and guts).
The general feedback was VERY good and a lot of people really enjoyed watching the vids, and wanted to see more... but there was a small collective of persons on this site... who complained and labelled my videos as disrespectful ‘snuff vids’.
My vids were taken down and then after some arguing allowed to repost, only to be eventually taken down again..
For a private site called UK VARMINTING, i was absolutely mind blown that any shooter would go to the extent of stopping someones videos being uploaded... and then un-constructively degrading them online from the safety of their office/ keyboard...
I understand there are site rules.. and will have/always have fallen in line with them... but it got to the stage where i felt it was pointless making anymore videos and it put me off even posting articles about my lifetime hobby/passion...
If the above was an article, i would title it ‘The enemy within..’.
All the best ! 🤙🏻🇬🇧
