Hickock45 and his son John returned with an update on their YouTube situation. They shared more promising news this time, reflecting the community’s support and their efforts to address the issue.
The duo expressed gratitude for their viewers and fellow YouTubers, whose support helped them get the attention of the right people at YouTube. They have been in discussions with YouTube and now have a clearer path forward, although the challenges remain significant.
John explained that they have lost everything posted since June 18th due to the new terms of service, which also jeopardized their older videos. However, they believe they can navigate these new guidelines and continue producing content.
The new terms of service, which prohibit sponsorships from firearms companies or those dealing in firearms accessories, affected much of their existing content. They had to remove several videos and will need to adjust many others to comply with the new rules. Despite this, they remain optimistic about re-uploading compliant videos from their archives.

John highlighted the importance of their community’s support, emphasizing that without it, the situation would be much worse. He acknowledged the fear and uncertainty they faced, given that this has been his career for his entire adult life.
They also addressed the suggestions to move to alternative platforms like Rumble. While they have content on Rumble, they stressed that YouTube’s vast reach is crucial for their mission of promoting the Second Amendment and reaching a broader audience.
In closing, they reiterated their commitment to providing content and navigating YouTube’s evolving policies. They assured viewers that they would keep them updated and continue to produce videos, despite potential interruptions.
