After posting a public apology in regards to posting photos it has been realized that people have completely forgotten about the Ivan vs Brownells debacle, to the point where the internet automatically assumed this was something involving James Reeves of TFB who is known for filing DMCAs over his video of a full-auto suppressed .22 Glock.

It seems Ivan is doomed to a life similar to that of Karl Kasarda in that even his infamy is short lived and unpopular. Would anyone like to take bets on whether or not the next arc involves him bitching at Ian for hijacking the "AR-15 was fully automa-

Imagine giving a shit about arguing this on xitter
 
There's a particular WW2 rifle that I've devoted a bunch of time and money collecting. His video on it (and some other guns that I know) made it quite clear that Ian doesn't get every last detail right. It's never bothered me that much though. I like Ian's work but I never took his videos to be end-all videos, just very generalized information. If you feel the need to be catastrophically nerdy and get as much information as possible that's when you start doing a lot of reading.
 
Ian just reads whatever it says on Wikipedia to his cult while begging for donations. I’ve always thought Ian was one of the worst content creators, and he’s particularly bad at actually shooting.

I don’t really feel any particular way about Ian, but I have seen some cool stuff on his channel that I might not otherwise I’ve ever ran into. Although I’m not actually subscribed nor do I seek him out so there’s probably a lot of stuff that I’ve missed as well.

I’m not too concerned about his shooting ability as he doesn’t really represent himself as someone who is supposedly good or trying to make other people good at shooting.
 
With the variety and amount of content he puts out, I don't think it's reasonable to expect him to invest that much into research of any particular firearm. He has kinda found the sweet spot of what is an interesting way of conveying enough information for a particular firearm. Yeah, there are mistakes in his videos. I don't really think they are egregious mistakes, though.

That said, I do think his quality has slipped during the last few years. I'd wager it's because he puts so much effort into writing these days, that FW video content has kinda taken a backseat in his mind.

As for his shooting ability, who cares? He's mostly competing for fun and content.

He represents himself as a firearm historian but knows very little about the guns he reviews. His inability to shoot is really more of a problem when he’s selling things and giving opinions on performance. Remember when he was limp-wristing the FK BRNO on video and attacked all the people who called him out on that fact after his bad review of it?

Good point, Foiley. I can’t imagine why his ability to use the thing he’s been reviewing and voicing his opinion on for 15 years would matter.

I’m not super invested in him either way. I can definitely understand the criticisms, but there is so much other egregious cringe slop Gun tuber content out there that comparatively his isn’t really something for me to complain about, I just don’t really watch it to begin with.
 
Ian usually at least reads you a boomer collector book or obscure website instead of Wikipedia. It's not quite that surface level. I don't think it's inappropriate for his production schedule.

I could shoot better than him when I was twelve, though.

There's an opportunity there then, isn't there? If you can do it better it should be easy to scoop up his audience. He's demonstrated the size of the audience for this stuff. Someone who does it better should be able to waltz away with those eyeballs.

It was ever thus. Those who can't do, teach.
 
Does FocusTripp/Ben Stoeger know about the shapeshifting Autogynephile infiltrator and tranny pornstar Brandon Lee Kellett AKA Valkyrie Brynn? I feel like Focus has alluded to the fact that he knows about his secret but never done a whole stream around it. Would be funny to see a crusade to expose him, potentially even culminating with him coming on stream.

Lower IQ members of the firearms community are obsessed with him

Brynn Woods (powerword: Brandon Lee Kellett) is a 43-year-old Iraq veteran tranny from the United States. He is most known for being a popular meme in the GunTuber community due to being a coomer. There has been a debate in the GunTuber thread on if this person was a TRUE and HONEST woman or a tranny. Not only can I...

I understand your thing is overly hating everyone and occasionally making a good point, but this isn't true. Or at least not anymore than your average largeish youtuber. Beyond the "ahaha I make thing go boom" channels Forgotten Weapons has the most notoriety outside of the guntube niche. I've had conversation with non-gun owning friends who bring him up unprompted when discussing videos we watch. FW having broad appeal is a blessing but a curse when it comes to moving viewers to alt platforms and moving to more niche, technical content.

To Ivan's point, Ian doesn't do a great job getting into the nity grity of a weapons functions and the engineering side. His videos go - intro story, glamor shots of firearm -> short discussion of parts/functions with disassembly -> continuation of story and outro. Most of his videos are a step above wikipedia with interesting b roll and thats all the viewers want.

he’s already failed to get people to pay him on several platforms. I really hope that after he fails on Pepperbox, he just retires and stops shitting up Guntube with slop disguised as history.

Plenty of channels with more in-depth content have also failed on those same platforms (inb4 they are also slop). The books seem to do well enough to keep making them and publishing other authors and I'm sure the mug sweepstakes scams did alright.

Very few channels successfully push their audience to alt platforms and most of those are current events/politics grifters who shit out multiple videos/streams a day.

Ok? So it isn’t true, or is it something that is true but you’re okay with because everyone else does it too? I don’t think anyone is actually under the impression that all of his subscribers or views are real.

In your opinion, or do you have a way to prove this without narrowing down the criteria until FW is the only channel in that discussion?

This is a cool anecdote and something that I’m sure actually happened.

Yes, and Ian has repeatedly failed to do this across multiple platforms because his audience is artificial. Comparisons or whataboutisms involving other channels or content are irrelevant to this discussion and do not change that fact.

Known faggot Ziga from Polenar Tactical sits down with Lujan for the collab we have all been waiting for.

Lots of high-quality info in this video — so much, in fact, that the Polenar Tactical YouTube channel, with over 2 million totally real subscribers, can’t even pull 1,000 views per hour.

Lujan is the only youtube competitor that lost to Jared Soule (((psr , full tac))) at finish brutality.

I hate that this woman who sounds and looks like she deepthroats traffic cones leads a nice easy life due to retarded coomers.
