a video about a historical weapon used by the military of a made-up country is really saying "this was made by a current-day gunsmith, but presenting it like that inexplicably triggers YouTube to demonetized the video for teaching people to make/modify guns."

How many metal parts do water guns have? Like, one spring and some screws maybe?

I think that they included that line as a hint that they’re actually selling firearms.

Facebook ad. Takes you to a silly website, that eventually takes you to the real site, where they sell guns (because you can't advertise that on Facebook)

Not in the way of 'You're stealing jobs from artists!1!11!!!' way but:
'Wow Product looks cheap and crap as gently caress. I don't want to buy that.'

Yeah that's right, shame them where it hurts, their pocketbook. If they get bad weird of mouth that says don't buy Product, it's cheap and lovely, they'll have to spend even more on advertising to improve their brand image. Which, if they spend money on AI art instead of traditional media, will just drive them further down the hole. Eventually they'll learn or the limits of your influence will be reached.

Marketing is a black hole where marketing execs insist they make a big difference, but usually have no actual way of quantifying it. They would just spin this as "a vocal minority afraid of change that probably doesn't even go to our franchisees."

A few years ago I was clicking through Bollywood music videos on YouTube for some reason, I think mostly from the late 2000s and early 2010s. I noticed that nearly all of them included token white people. They usually weren't allowed to do anything important, but it was still crucial that they were in the shot. That was funny to me.

They didn't have Johnny Sins though, brilliant move
