Pretty shocking that YouTube would go out of their way for a guntuber like Paul. Apparently a guy named "donut" had something to do with it. Not familiar with him.There is currently a T-shirt featuring Paul's famous shooting jacket being a sold as a fundraiser for Paul and his wife.
It also sounds like Paul is in hospice care now, so it is nice to see that he reached a million subscribers so quickly and YouTube expedited getting him his plaque.
I'm pretty sure the "donut" in question is Donut Operator, from the YT channel of the same name. I'm not real familiar but from what little I've seen he does a mix of defensive gun use video breakdowns and an odd mix of other firearms related content. Seems to be mostly geared to the under 30 set.Pretty shocking that YouTube would go out of their way for a guntuber like Paul. Apparently a guy named "donut" had something to do with it.

YouTube is a two tiered system. The big earners get far more leeway, while small and medium channels get routinely stomped on.Pretty shocking that YouTube would go out of their way for a guntuber like Paul. Apparently a guy named "donut" had something to do with it. Not familiar with him.
I think X/Twitter had a lot to do with it....I follow and have a decent amount of gun guy followers... and for about a week it was people retweeting this push to get him there...they'd screenshot his YouTube page hourly so people could see it in real time and it seemed to happen pretty fast....he had a few big name accounts that are not even in the gun community retweet the request....imho....Pretty shocking that YouTube would go out of their way for a guntuber like Paul.

Yeah I saw the push for the Million subs happen, I was referring to the fact that usually YouTube takes their time getting channels their silver and gold "play button" plaques. Paul got his almost as fast as I get crap from MidwayUSA lol.I think X/Twitter had a lot to do with it....I follow and have a decent amount of gun guy followers... and for about a week it was people retweeting this push to get him there...they'd screenshot his YouTube page hourly so people could see it in real time and it seemed to happen pretty fast....he had a few big name accounts that are not even in the gun community retweet the request....imho....
Paul is a good dude, Love his videos. Cancer sucks
Latest info is he is in hospice and I dont think he is shooting any more videos. His brother is taking over the channel to provide content moving forward.is he still with us today? i like his videos and remember him talking about his cancer a while back.
Given these two posts, does Paul have an alibi? Are we sure Mr. Post didnt die from "lead poisoning"? LOLThe man who led the Pop-Tarts development team has passed away.

ok thanks for the info.Latest info is he is in hospice and I dont think he is shooting any more videos. His brother is taking over the channel to provide content moving forward.
He just posed with his plaque earlier this week to say thank you to his fans. So unless he died in the last couple days, he is still with us.
Good interview. But fails on several levels.
He apparently had his clueless kid shoot this on the phone and he didnt notice they were shooting vertically so the video is very amateurish. They had to keep panning back and forth between Paul and Tom.
He didnt send Paul the list of questions ahead of time (like a pro would do) to get good, well thought out responses. Paul did well, but he stumped Paul on one question.
