I don’t watch a ton of Gun YouTube. I watch Primary and Secondary and Gunday Brunch, of course. I also enjoy some of the odd stuff Forgotten Weapons gets, but I prefer other sources of entertainment. When you work in the firearm industry, sometimes you want a break. Somehow, I missed the advent of a new streaming service called Pepperbox TV because I was not watching Guntube.
Pepperbox TV looks to be a Youtuber-created YouTube alternative. We’ve seen lots of YouTube alternatives in the gun world that don’t often take off. The difference is that the Youtubers or Guntubers posting at Pepperbox are still creating YouTube content. It is the same content. The major difference is that they aren’t censored.
Pepperbox TV – Censor Free
The creators should post videos of them attaching suppressors, reloading a gun, or doing something with scary high-capacity magazines! It’s worth mentioning that it’s not just Guntubers. You do have some gun-adjacent Youtubers like the Unsubscribed Podcast, The Fat Electrician, Donut Operator, and Angry Cops on the platform. You can watch their videos, the AK Guy, Admin Results, Demo Rachn, Garand Thumb, and many more.
The main difference between Pepperbox TV and YouTube videos is a lack of censorship. They can show guns, silencers, etc, but also curse, make less-than-polite jokes, and similar bits that YouTube and advertisers don’t care for. Pepperbox TV isn’t free. It’s a 7.99-a-month subscription and is ad-free.
Another subscription service can be a tough sell. It’s cheaper than the nearly 20-dollar subs that most streaming services throw at us. Still, it’s just another streaming service that wants your precious dollarydoos. There are a few bonuses for subscribing. There are bonuses and content that are not exclusive to Pepperbox TV. It also supports creators you might like.
The Other Alternatives
While things like Patreon and Subscribestar exist, they could still be swayed to drop support from creators at a whim. The same goes for YouTube. If you like the presenters and creators on the channel, you might pitch them some monetary support.
Pepperbox TV uses an application that supports mobile devices and a wide variety of smart TVs and smart TV devices like Roku. The app is straightforward to use. You can create watchlists, zoom through your favorite creators, and all that jazz. The creators listed are rather small at the moment, but it will likely grow if successful. It’s not a platform anyone can post on, and it seems to keep an air of exclusivity for bigger, more well-known creators.
Pepperbox TV is up and at ’em now and could be a censorship-free alternative for gun content. I’m not diving in because I don’t watch a ton of gun content on YouTube. Again, my YouTube viewing habits stray from the gun industry for the most part. In fact, if someone launches a small appliance and small engine repair YouTube service, hit me up because that’s what my YouTube is full of.
However, if you’re a fan of the feature YouTube creators, then hop in and give them some support and love. The App works well, it’s easy to understand, and I have no complaints about the execution. It might not be for me, but I can understand the sentiment, and it would be nice to have a real GunTuber alternative to YouTube.
