    Is this why Ian McCollum’s videos are getting altered? Over the years, he’s had many historical deep-dives featuring firearms from the Murphy’s auction house. In recent months, he’s been re-uploading those videos to cover their logo with the word “Morphy’s”. Even though the auctions are long over, I suppose Google counts them as promoting sales.

      I remember something from “forgotten weapons” where he I think he talked about having to retroactively blur the auction house because he didn’t work with them anymore or a change in their policy. Not a Google one, I think.

      He fucked himself over with some of the auction houses by trying to set up backroom deal to buy a gun outside of the auction. Understandingly they don’t appreciate that sort of thing. Ian has a history of not being a great person, but he’s good at hiding it from the public eye.
