Thanks for sharing Matt! I am baffled as to why you don't have hundreds of thousands of subs!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol maybe some day! Thanks for watching buddy!

[@krissteel4074]

Very good video, you've just sort of started filtering into my youtube watch lists and hopefully other peoples too because its good content. Its not going to attract the people who just want flames, loud noises and sparks as entertainment that gets the 100's of 1000's of views but I appreciated it anyway.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

You are very correct! That’s awesome though you found the channel! Thanks for watching!

[@HummingbirdKnives]

Good information! Thanks Matt!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I agree 100%

Hey Matt…there’s alternatives out there…gab, getter, truth, parlor, rumble…don’t let the net nannies slow you down.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol thanks man!

[@dustinlouthen2773]

I had over 11k followers on Instagram before my account got restricted. Went from getting 300-1000 likes on a post to being lucky to get 100.

Man it’s so frustrating! Have you found a way to get past it?

[@chrisdrew2110]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 no I haven't...tried all the tricks other people mentioned and nothing works.

@@chrisdrew2110 wow that’s insane man. Come to think of it I haven’t seen your work pop up on my feed lately at all! Well I’ll let you know if I figure anything out, you’re posts are being flagged as weapons ?

[@chrisdrew2110]

@@themichiganangler4746 I haven't been able to do any work for about 6 months. My wife's been having some issues so I've been taking care of her. I posted a pic of a grinder injury where I ground my finger nail off down to the bone. It was pretty nasty. I got flagged for it and have been restricted ever since.
