Menlo Park, CA – Gun owners across the country are in outrage at their social media reach, and many are blaming media giants Facebook and Google for their lack of engagement and reach. “I personally think it’s ridiculous, I uploaded a video of a Glock 19 review last week, and it only got 37 views,” Said Sgt Tactical, a YouTube gun reviewer. “I pulled all the punches in the review, I figured there wasn’t any good info on the Glock pistol online so I even included a segment on how to field strip it. Do you know what it’s like to painstakingly make a piece of original content and have the commies not show it to anyone?”



Sgt Tactical wasn’t alone in his complaint, hundreds across instagram have been complaining similarly. “I had perfectly staged my photo, the gun resting right beneath the appendix holster, a titanium anodized pry bar, 3 magazines with extensions, a small fixed blade, a custom handkerchief and even a morale patch” TheSheepdog6969 told us “It got 106 likes on a Monday night. I used to get atleast 250 likes before Instagram changed their algorithm. Now they’re persecuting gun owners.”

The Press Check decided to investigate further into the matter. We found that Instagram and Facebook are certainly holding back certain content; however, the majority of the people claiming to be shadowbanned aren’t actually at all; their content is just exactly the same as everyone else leading people not to click an image because they think they already liked it.

Social media hasn’t been bad for everyone, we had a chance to speak to an incredibly popular YouTuber Destruction Farm. “Engagement is amazing” The YouTuber told us. “A company sends me a gun and I shoot random stuff with it that people wouldn’t normally shoot. As expected the bullet damages the stuff I shoot and the people eat it up. I really don’t know what people are complaining about” Destruction Tom said with a smile.

“I guess I just have to give up my dreams of being a gun media star, I wonder how expensive it’ll be to get started in the vape industry” LionsDontCareAboutTheOpinionOfSheep said. “I posted six memes using the Peaky Blinder dude with the funny hat and cigarette with a fake quote, three pictures of Tony Soprano with a fake quote, and a combined total of 74 images of lions and wolves eating stuff. Instagram wants to hold me back. I’m just praying I can master some vape tricks, I can’t keep putting in all this effort with no return” Lions said

We reached out to both Google and Facebook with no response.
