Benwa from Tactical Fellowship shares insights from his four years managing the Warrior Poet Society YouTube channel. He provides strategic advice for small channels, particularly those in niche categories, on how to navigate YouTube's monetization policies and avoid strikes. The advice focuses on understanding YouTube's AI, the importance of manual review, and content presentation to maintain a 'green check' status.

This guide, presented by Civilian Tactical, outlines key YouTube policies that impact firearm content creators. It covers restrictions on high-capacity magazines, external sales links, 3D printed accessories, and the demonetization risks associated with components like Forced Reset Triggers. Understanding these rules is crucial for creators to avoid penalties and maintain their presence on the platform.

This video discusses YouTube's updated community guidelines in 2020, specifically prohibiting live streams that show individuals holding, handling, or transporting firearms. Host Hank Strange explains that while pre-recorded footage or images of firearms are permissible if clearly identified as such, live handling will result in video removal, and potentially strikes against the creator's channel. The policy is attributed to incidents where live streams were used to commit atrocities, but Strange expresses concern over its broad impact on responsible firearm owners and content creators, viewing it as a form of segregation and suppression of Second Amendment advocacy. He urges viewers to diversify their online presence, support alternative platforms, and stay informed about evolving content policies.
