    Wtf is wrong with people

    Clearly, I'm.not the majority as I find Reid informative and worth the time to watch a video.
    Then I see what the majority of people watch and I don't get it. I really don't understand.

    I was going to post this in the water cooler section but figured it was more appropriate here.


    People are either don't know or don't care and I really don't know which one it is. If 2A had the visibility that these YouTubers get on that scale then surely there would be changes to the system.


    We have hours of visibility with no knock warrants on non criminals (<just as one example) and outside of this forum I don't hear people talking about this type of stuff.

    How do we get the voice that they have to reach the public and shape opinion? Clearly reaching large amounts of people can be done as we see proof of views and subscriptions.

    Without seeing the videos or knowing who Reid Heinrich is I will guess:

    Reid Heinrich is a fat, middle aged, white guy AND
    The other videos aren't

    Edit: looks like I was right.

    BUT

    MBest11x has 1mil subscribers
    Demolition Ranch has 6.5mil
    FPS Russia (a dead channel, btw) has 6.5mil
    Hickok45 has 3.8mil
    Forgotten weapons has over 1mil

    It could just be that Reid Heinrich isn't that entertaining.

    Re-edit:

    Yep. Reid is as entertaining as any opinionated person lecturing to his audience. The 2A equivalent of most college professors. That is your answer, OP. It isn't that he isn't informative, or correct...he just isn't that entertaining.

    People prefer to watch football, play games, gamble, sex themselves and others, get drunk/stoned, do dangerous/stupid stuff, ad infinitum instead of learn languages, study science etc. It is the nature of our beast, seeking gratification of our base impulses.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    People into shooting would rather actually be shooting than watch a video. I subscribe to a few like Demolition Ranch and OfftheRanch, but if I am not watching a video its because it messes up my sight picture.
